That’d be because there is no reasonable way to explain their position within our democracy. They should move to Different country and see if they can set up the oligarchy they’d prefer. If they want to live here, they can play by the constitutional laws, judicial precedent, and legislation we have in place. Or pay the criminal penalties.	2Anger Expression	[ 2, 0 ]
Clumsy attempt at moving the goal post once again. Recounts - trump loses Court cases - trump loses Certifying State results - trump loses Electoral College - trump loses. Its over - CLEARLY - over.

And every one of those early ‘accomplishments’ was due to two things: 1) Obama’s eight years of straight economic growth continued 2) Trump’s socialistic priming of the pump (don’t forget, Trump invented this term, he said so himself so you know it’s true. 😂) Which reminds me, the records that will be Trump’s legacy are: * most corrupt admin * gave away secrets and policies to enemies * worst economic downtown since Great Depression * record job losses * record budget deficit * record trade deficit * record emolument self-enrichment while in office * record nepotism *	0Trait Anger	[ 2, 0 ]

You are doing fine Ayanna Pressley, keep it up. You are not only facing the usual U.S. bigotry you are facing a political opposition that equates their partisan beliefs with religious fervor and openly call any opposition satanic and evil. What you stand for is a rational relationship between governed and government that works for the governed. And organizations like usatoday, supports the haters because they believe they must serve all ideas equally and never identify policies of exclusion, oppression and exploitation as what they are, bad. wrong and destructive. Nor will they call out the decades of voter suppression and laws that created mass incarceration and social policies that destroyed communities and families.

For clarity, I think Lindsey is a follower by nature. He knows Trump is done, so the question isn't whether he lands in someone else's camp but which camp he lands in.

In each case, the new progressive candidate replaced a long-term centrist Democrat. These were not swing seats, they were seats in blue districts. Replacing centrists with progressives in Dem strongholds, not in "swing seats", is the way to build a progressive presence in Congress. Primaries are where we should be focusing our energy.

> For the good of America, [Trump] must fail. The alternative is ultimately the collapse of political norms and civil strife. A classic demagogue, Mr Trump is signalling to his supporters that they, like him, should refuse to respect the election’s outcome and reject Mr Biden’s presidency. There is a well-grounded fear that protests could erupt, some of them armed. Mr Trump might call out the national guard or send federal agents to deal with demonstrations. This chaos, Mr Trump no doubt hopes, will pave the way for an autocratic takeover. > Mr Trump is a sore loser who cannot stand that he was beaten in a fair election. He should move on but sees no reason why he should yield. After all, Mr Trump has not been punished for his transgressions against tradition, decency and the law. Instead, he has been rewarded. He thinks he can get away with almost anything. The Republican party has only itself to blame for incubating Trumpism, a parasitical ideology that threatens to take over the host. We all already knew this, but this editorial puts it quite nicely imo. Our democracy is at stake right now.	1State Anger	[ 3, 4, 2 ]

“A bipartisan group of senators on Sunday urged their colleagues to support the Electoral College vote, as at least a dozen GOP senators prepare to challenge the election results on Wednesday.

Joe Manchin (W.Va.), Mark Warner (Va.), Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.), Maggie Hassan (N.H.), Dick Durbin (Ill.) and Independent Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) said in a joint statement that the “election is over.” “At this point, further attempts to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the 2020 Presidential election are contrary to the clearly expressed will of the American people and only serve to undermine Americans’ confidence in the already determined election results,” they said. “The voters have spoken, and Congress must now fulfill its responsibility to certify the election results. .... It is time to move forward,” they added.”	1State Anger	[ 4 ]

If it was a Democratic President, the division would be zero. The answer would be a resounding NO on both sides of the aisle. But because it is Dear Leader, the right seems to think this nonsense is OK.

It's actually a solid "NO" if you are talking facts, precedent and legality. It does not matter what the opinions of Q-laid drinkers are about it. Why is this even a headline?

You are doing fine Ayanna Pressley, keep it up. You are not only facing the usual U.S. bigotry you are facing a political opposition that equates their partisan beliefs with religious fervor and openly call any opposition satanic and evil. What you stand for is a rational relationship between governed and government that works for the governed. And organizations like usatoday, supports the haters because they believe they must serve all ideas equally and never identify policies of exclusion, oppression and exploitation as what they are, bad. wrong and destructive. Nor will they call out the decades of voter suppression and laws that created mass incarceration and social policies that destroyed communities and families.

In each case, the new progressive candidate replaced a long-term centrist Democrat. These were not swing seats, they were seats in blue districts. Replacing centrists with progressives in Dem strongholds, not in "swing seats", is the way to build a progressive presence in Congress. Primaries are where we should be focusing our energy.

> For the good of America, [Trump] must fail. The alternative is ultimately the collapse of political norms and civil strife. A classic demagogue, Mr Trump is signalling to his supporters that they, like him, should refuse to respect the election’s outcome and reject Mr Biden’s presidency. There is a well-grounded fear that protests could erupt, some of them armed. Mr Trump might call out the national guard or send federal agents to deal with demonstrations. This chaos, Mr Trump no doubt hopes, will pave the way for an autocratic takeover. > Mr Trump is a sore loser who cannot stand that he was beaten in a fair election. He should move on but sees no reason why he should yield. After all, Mr Trump has not been punished for his transgressions against tradition, decency and the law. Instead, he has been rewarded. He thinks he can get away with almost anything. The Republican party has only itself to blame for incubating Trumpism, a parasitical ideology that threatens to take over the host.

“A bipartisan group of senators on Sunday urged their colleagues to support the Electoral College vote, as at least a dozen GOP senators prepare to challenge the election results on Wednesday.

Joe Manchin (W.Va.), Mark Warner (Va.), Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.), Maggie Hassan (N.H.), Dick Durbin (Ill.) and Independent Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) said in a joint statement that the “election is over.” “At this point, further attempts to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the 2020 Presidential election are contrary to the clearly expressed will of the American people and only serve to undermine Americans’ confidence in the already determined election results,” they said. “The voters have spoken, and Congress must now fulfill its responsibility to certify the election results. .... It is time to move forward,” they added.”
