"The unlikelihood of congressional Republicans doing anything that might elect Harris as president is obvious.

But Democrats need to take a stand against Electoral College votes for a person disqualified by the Constitution from holding office unless and until this disability is removed. No less is required by their oath to support and defend the Constitution."

from the thread article

Well since you used the please word... the Parties are STILL no the same.

Dems will vote for most of the things you want, the Trumpers will do as they are told.

Campaign Finance Reform is something Dems vote for, Republicans not so much.

And it's the key to curbing the fascist dogs.

President Musk: About Last Night

Congress may have the power, but they don't have the backbone since billionaires started getting two votes to our one>

They get a vote as a Citizen, and another in terms of interests the policy 'votes' of their Corporations; who now have Personhood under the Constitution, thanks mainly to Est Republicans.

But don't worry about Est Republicans... Trumpers are the best thing that ever happened to them; they get to run the Gov AND set the rules for themselves and the Corporations they own.

So, Fascism, as Mussolini and every Encyclopedia defines.

Doesn't know the definition of Fascism.

Among so many other things he doesn't know.

None of the Founders fretted as much about oligarchy as Adams; he was writing about its dangers as early as 1766, and in 1785 he urged that the Pennsylvania Constitution permit sufficient payment to its legislators to allow ordinary people to serve, lest "an Aristocracy or oligarchy of the rich will be formed."

Six years after he ended his presidency (the weakest part of his legacy), Adams wrote that "the Creed of my whole Life" had been that "No simple Form of Government, can possibly secure Men against the Violences of Power. Simple Monarchy will soon mould itself into Despotism, Aristocracy will soon commence an Oligarchy, and Democracy, will soon degenerate into an Anarchy."

"Ordinary citizens, meanwhile, exert minimal influence " yet effectively pay higher tax rates than the richest Americans.

So it is perhaps easy to see why some question the fundamental fairness of the country's economic and political systems.

One option for change could be new legislation that focuses on areas like campaign funding and media regulation.

This might create a greater separation between money and politics, which could in turn lead to greater equality in political influence."

Buying political influence came back into style with the success of the Oligarch's investments in Make America For Sale Again.

More balls than brains, that's for sure.

One of these days Trumpers are going to be like ex-W voters; nowhere to be found. Left the planet. Evaporated into thin air.

"Who me? No, I never voted for that clown!"

Vlad has been invading several country's air space with missiles for a long time now .

I'm so anti current Big Corp ads that mostly the only live stuff I watch is some american football, but either sound off for commercials, or just switch the tab.

Think it started a long time ago with that Goodyear tire commercial with a baby threading traffic on a tire... the threat being to his life if you didn't buy their product.

I have seen the Allstate commercials where the star is the bad fortune and accidents you will suffer if you don't buy their insurance.

Of maybe way back in college; I heard that tv commercials were usually slightly louder than the shows, so I tried to get a couple of techy friends to build a device to automatically kill the commercial volume or switch channels, lol

SO, besides trashing the Public Airwaves with garbage products and commercials, and passing the media costs on to the consumer, so many Corporations have now bought into Trump's Fascism.

You have a great Christmas, too... here's a present for your consideration:

Wow... all but one a NW post. It's incredible!

Almost half of America 'thinks' that Trump47 is the sequel to his last reality-tv show, Trump45 (not to be confused with Colt45).

Which itself was a spin off of The Apprentice.

This one IS going to be exciting though, and perhaps that's what America wanted in their Government, more Action and Adventure!

More crazy Characters from the successful series, "Klown Kar: Your House of Representatives."

Ah, something we can agree upon! And since Day One here, too. Quite the accomplishment, I'd say.

It's a nice little read from, "Zeyneb Saylgan is the Muslim Scholar at the Institute for Islamic, Christian and Jewish Studies in Baltimore".

Her story, really, and her daughter, Maryam, which is Mary's Arabic name in the Qur'an.

Your retort was self-retorting.... which post is actually less intellectually offensive than most of yours.

Own it.

Merry Chow Mein!
