Subject: Re: Again: GOP wants to lose
Sope, let me help you accurately describe your opponent's positions since you are laughingly terrible at it:
"*Jail Trump"
I think you mean Democrats want to maintain rule of law. People who break the law should pay the price. It is quite clear Trump has broken many laws. I am sorry that you think rule of law should be selectively applied based upon the cult status of the politician.
Simple question for you to run away from: Do you think people who can demonstrably be shown to have committed crimes pay the price for those crimes?
It isn't Democrats fault that the only Republican that the Cultists will vote for is a criminal and is facing the music for the crimes he committed. No one was trying to jail Nikki Haley. No one was trying to jail Ron Desantis. Or Tim Scott, or Christie, etc.
Besides, you have it exactly backwards. It is the Republicans who have been trying to jail their political opponents. Does "lock her up" ring a bell? Or who is the only President to illegally withheld congressionally appropriated funds in order to entice a foreign government to investigate his political enemy? Or who is the only President to openly ask his AG to investigate his political opponents? Any of that ring a bell, or are you using your selective memory and willfully ignoring that which you find inconvenient?
"*Ban the electoral college"
Not 100% true. At all. There are plenty of Democrats who are fine with the Electoral College. Besides, even among those who want to dump it, it would be better characterized as wanting a more representative electoral system. Not allowing a tyrannical minority to rule. I can understand why conservatives want a tyrannical minority rule though because they cannot really win without it. Their policies are deeply unpopular and their candidates are even more unpopular. The have only won the popular vote once in the past 32 years (and even that required a 9/11 that made the president look sympathetic). Republicans literally cannot win a popular vote.
"*Pack the supreme court"
I think you mean UNpack the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has already been packed by Mitch McConnell. You didn't seem to have a problem when he did it. So are you for or against packing of the Supreme Court? I think in your case, you answer depends upon who is doing it.
"*No voter ID"
I think you mean no poll taxes or other barriers used to suppress legal voting. Democrats recognize that voting is already extremely secure and they want to keep it easy for everyone who is legally eligible vote be able to do so by not putting up barriers that would not solve any real problem and just make it harder for some people to vote. I get that Conservatives want to suppress the vote, they need minority rule (see Electoral College above).
"*censor free speech."
In what way?
It is conservatives who are regularly trying to ban books. It is Trump who is trying to make it easier to shut people up by suing them for slander. It is Trump who regularly speaks about locking up or suing journalists in order to quiet them.
