you know there a difference between Conservatives, GPO members, and the fringe of Maga, right? Just like not all dems are antifa or communists.

MAGA just took over the House.

Some "fringe".

I get it, Jeff - you hate
Maga
Conservatives
Texas
and me -
in no particular order

(yeah, i know, insert "you aren't important enough for me to hate" comment here)

I don't hate you, I hate what your blindness and stupidity leads you to support, which is the death of democratic government in this Country in favor of authoritarians who don't give one shit about you.

which orifice did you pull this out off? I am NOT a dem, because I have a brain, and I am NOT a MAGA, because i have a heart (to mangle a great churchill quote) - but if you lop off the 10% from either end of the spectrum, i think there lays a HUGE middle ground, where the country can be governed-

people that think those that don't agree, 100%, on 100% of the issues, are their enemies and beneath contempt literally are the 10% on either end.

I am right of Biden, to be sure, and WAY WAY WAY right the anarchists in antifa, and WAY left of the normal conservative, WAY WAY left of the neocons, and I can't even SEE how far right the Maga are -

there's decent ideas from the middle 80%, some I might agree with, some I might could live with, and some I disagree with -- from ALL sides...

to be clear, if Biden were mentally sound, i could likely work with him - but he's NOT in charge

Proving my point -
Joe is not running the show . he can't even "run" his own exit from a platform - denying he is the gaff master is willful stupidity

i think joe's heart is in the right place - i think his handlers are a mixed bag --

You are a hypocrite.

You do not condemn the fundamental evil and bigotry of the Far right. You accept them for their votes and their so called Conservative values.

You even denied the institutional racism in the GOP.

. . . and yet you will have people on here tell you that because he has an (R) behind his name he is preferable to anyone with a (D) behind their name.

That is a fact…because in that job…policy matters.

If you are too dumb to see that…you are just dumb.

Some months ago here there was a thread about what it means to be American. To me that is “to do the right thing”.

Doing the right thing requires integrity, a moral compass, ethics and honesty … irrespective of the letter after a persons name. What US politics needs is more people who will cross the party divide and support doing the right thing.

I totally disagree.

What the US needs is for people to see that the Democratic Party leads us to a less-free socialistic state and oppose them at all costs.

My moral and ethical compass steers me clear of the Democratic Platform. I work within the Primary system where I can to produce candidates whom I can like for more than their vote.

But make no mistake…their votes are the more important aspect for the trend of the government.

You totally disagree that those in public service should have integrity, a moral compass, ethics ?

My disagreement is that you advocate dissing the Republican Party in favor of a Democrat over a bad apple. Bad apples fall equally on both sides of the tree. My interests are better served with Republicans in majority. And, endorsing the Democratic Platform in the first place…is morally reprehensible to me. If the guy committed a crime…he should go to jail. If he disparaged someone…he should be sued. If his constituents don’t like him…they should vote him out. If he violated ethics rules…he should incur the prescribed remedy.

Because the chap in the OP has none of them. If you are willing to turn a blind eye just because he has an R after his name then you are enabling the lying, the duplicitous behaviour and the corruption to continue.

It matters not which side of the line dishonest people stand. Whether it's the corrupt NJ senator (can't recall his name sorry), the sleezebag in the OP, or Trump, none of them have any place in public service.

You say often how "free" you are. The greater a societies corruption and dishonesty the less freedom its citizens enjoy.

Edit - the NJ sleezbag is Bob Menendez
