It seems to me the pressure built up and he could no longer fight it, which means he had no choice. The party did not allow it, just like they didn't allow Bernie in 2016.

The problem is that primaries are giving people the illusion of a choice. This country hasn't been a democracy or a republic for many decades yet it's constantly held up as something we are protecting. People decide who the presid

The point is there isn't an alternative and using imagination isn't going to magically make that possible. If you are 200 yards away, a gun is probably the only way to stop someone in any way. Pepper spray, tasers, etc... none of

If you look at police footage of people getting shot you will see that it's very common for someone to get shot in one of the limbs or even the body and still be able to return fire.

They were in the minority of the crowd, and I think this is supported by how many people were charged with conspiracy (not to mention how many were charged with anything other than trespassing).

The amount of lies told by the news, media, and government (in general) are too much to list in a short comment. This has always been clearly visible for anybody that is not completely brainwashed by propaganda. The Iraq war was based on li
