CW, you need a new play. Your playbook is ineffective my friend.
your now days old diatribe against POTUS is not changing any minds. You act like him holding a bible is unique to him. Like no other politicians do and say things politically based lol. Like You think Biden wearing a mask is because he thinks masks make sense. Or that a single word that comes out of his mouth are his personal beliefs. Or the fact that he FINALLY, mildly, denounced the rioting in our cities is because he is against it, and not because his CNN and other consultants warned him that their data suggests this issue is important to many swing voters and is starting to move against him. Please.
The playbook of criticism, calling anyone who disagrees a racist, second guessing, obstructing and dividing needs a refresh. Like, Coming up with a single position on the issues of the day and how you would handle it.
Assume your talking to those of us who can’t stand POTUS as your starting point, and tell us why the other side is viable choice.
I was going to post the dozens of twitter videos from just last night showing more mob violence, attacking law enforcement, etc...but you know it is out there in spades ( its what OAF) and you like to call progress. Mobs of people surrounding outdoor diners and forcing them through fear to join in the chants of “ white silence is violence” and getting inches from the face of those who don’t comply (without a mask no less) and screaming at the top of your lungs.
and no cop outs here....don’t write off that this is what is going on or I will post the videos, and they are from twitter, not any news agency.
How many politicians use the Bible as a prop without being able to cite a single verse, other than to say that they really like "two Corinthians"?
I'm not saying that anyone who disagrees is a racist. Where are you getting that? I am saying that Trump appeals to racists and non-racists. And his appeal to racists is not an accident.
Biden is a viable choice because he will stay between the lines of constitutional norms. His policies will be bad for America, but no worse than Trump's. Just bad in different ways. He won't resemble someone who thinks he has dictatorial powers because he's in the White House. He won't talk (or have his surrogates talk) about a 3rd term for himself. Same thing about his face being put on Mount Rushmore. He won't use the White House as a prop for events that are purely partisan. He will at least simulate being the president of the entire country. And the Republican Party may recover some guts and integrity being back in the minority, which is what its behavior over the last 3-1/2 years will have earned.
When have I copped out by saying that these riots are not going on? They are going on. They are terrible. They should be stopped. But first, mayors should enforce the law. That means cracking down on rioters just like it means cracking down on bad cops. Governors should enforce the law, even if that means offending some interest groups that support them. The President should enforce
federal laws. The president should not send in the U.S. Army or federalized National Guardsmen against the requests of local authorities unless federal laws are being broken and not enforced (as was the case in 1957 when Ike sent the 101st Airborne to Little Rock to enforce the
Brown v. Board ruling). Is that the case here? Maybe it is, but I'm not sure what federal laws those would be. If no federal laws are being broken, then the federal troops should stay out unless invited.
If blue-city mayors and blue-state governors aren't willing to enforce the law, then people should vote with their feet, as Badge is doing. That's what's so great about American federalism. If you don't like what your state is doing, there are 49 others to choose from, and you can still be a loyal, red-blooded American. Without federal intervention.
Do we believe in states' rights? Do we believe in a federal government that limits itself to its Constitutional powers? Or do we only believe in those things for red states when the "blue" president does something we don't like?
