JustinCharge 2,397 Posted September 11, 2023 The problem is do you trust this government to not corrupt a system of mail in ballots?

RLLD 4,230 Posted September 12, 2023 She is just another problem we have to face up to.....people elected that loon, just as they electied AOC and Hochul and Adams and many others. Its emblematic of our system that we keep putting people in office who reasonably should not be there. Somehow, Biden is in office....and look at how ruinous that has turned out. Elections are important, we have to stop electing people who are weak minded and have no backbone. Right now we have a system that is effectively run by the beaurocracy, and less so the elected people.

Allow me to remind both of you that the Republican Party wants to completely gut the federal government, install partisans into civil servant positions, and consolidate power under the POTUS.

The bias that was allowed to run rampant against sections of people needs to be addressed. This is a very.....very ....good thing.

Neither party is interested in even talking to the other at this point, so I am not sure how we get back to that balance and working together. Honestly, I'm not sure we do. I would also argue that this is more troubling because a key piece to the puzzle is already in place - the SCOTUS. All right government and SC is not what we need either. From where I sit, both parties are being governed and lead by the extremes, but IMO we are a lot closer to Gilead than we are Woke lawlessness, speaking country-wide.
