“Furious Democrats are considering total war — profound changes to two branches of government, and even adding stars to the flag — if Republicans jam through a Supreme Court nominee then lose control of the Senate,”
Axios reports.
“On the table: Adding Supreme Court justices… eliminating the Senate’s 60-vote threshold to end filibusters… and statehood for D.C. and Puerto Rico.”
“Dems aren’t optimistic about blocking the nominee. But they have many ways of retaliating if they win Senate control — and are licking their chops about real movement on ideas that have been pushed futilely for decades.”
Interesting word mix in titie: Armageddon; Democrats. In the body of your post, retaliation; total war. How about instead of doing what may feel good for the Democrat Party, constantly exchanging tat for tat, Democrats focus on representing the people?
A positive example would be to simply call out Republicans for their lies and hypocracy and get to work on validating the Supreme Court nominee. If the Supreme Court nominee passes muster or not, vote in good faith. Is it not the best option to take such action as to appeal to voters?
As it is, many associate Democrats with at least condoning violent riots and police brutality. By police brutality, I mean the condoning of increasing brutality toward police, in spite of most police being outstanding examples of our fellow citizens and that reforms are being implemented. Increasingly, democrats are being associated with intolerance and authoritarism. Is there any wonder why?
Any party that openly disrespects our country is not likely to respect its laws, traditions, and customs, right? Tearing down statues, revising history, and attempts to suppress free speech on campuses and social media has to give pause to those who try to imagine what life would be like under Democrat Rule. Then again, those who have been living in Democrat rule in big cities know what it’s like, but they choose to blame someone else. Impressive how that works, but still not in the best interest of those stuck in that situation.
For all of Trump’s foibles, he promotes the best interests of the United States as best as he knows how. His policies reflect that. Democrats policies tend to focus more on vote mongering with their policies on immigrants, felons, and the lazy. At taxpayer expense, too.
Republican policies focus on providing economic opportunities for all, allowing a chance for those who were shackled by the situation they were born in, to lead lives. You know its true, when you see the decades of Democrat controlled inner cities with generations of families still struggling with high crime and substance abuse. Want to tell us how productive the big cities are again?
How about the Democrats take the initiative and hand out the olive branch? If the Republicans refuse, how would you think that would look in voter’s eyes? If the Republicans accept, Democrats get credit for getting something positive done, a big change from the last four years of investigations and at least indirectly inciting riots.
Now let’s see if there is some leadership ability on the Harris-Biden team or they are mere puppets waiting for their strings to be pulled by those who have been fighting for so long they forgot diplomacy.
