There is (currently) a segment of the population that wants things to be clear cut. Up-down, left-right, north-south, male-female.
I think (I'm spitballing here, so don't get bent out of shape)
that that segment gets their knickers in a twist when something
(anything) doesn't fall into clean lines one way or the other. As
I've gotten older, I have learned that almost no topic falls into
the either-or category.
The whole LGBTQ (can we pick one letter please? We will run out of alphabet.) is a great example. The fact is that people have never been just two sexes. There are, in fact, a whole range of expressions of sex that are too numerous to count. Some people can qualify as both, for example.
At any rate, when people start shouting, my inclination is to cross over to the other side of the street.

Where the frick do people start throwing Communism around in regards to the US. Sorry but this weird paranoid outlook is just getting to me. Growing up in the 50's and 60's we knew what communism is/was and the US has never ever _ever_ been close to supporting communism. We have been closer to having islamic fundamentalism than communism. Radicals exist on BOTH sides of the divide. Anyone out and the edges of the bell curve is a "Radical". And there are plenty on both sides to go around. One side tends to have more guns than the other. Socialism is the idea that society pulls together when it's good for everyone, and we have plenty of that. Fire departments, water departments, Social Security where the companies have to contribute 1/2 of the payment. (not applicable to self-employed ). Medicare, Medicaid, these are all examples of a society that cares for the less fortunate and decides that we care about our fellow individuals. When, basically, the whole rest of the world says that these are good things and that they should do even more, why don't we and both sides of the isle decide that this would be good for us too? Because the rich are running the show and taxes on the wealthy should be less than taxes on the poor. And that they can keep shoving propaganda down our throats that make us feel like that is the way it should be. OMG if you aren't one of the 1% you are just getting screwed in so many ways. If you aren't sitting on a mountain of PPE on your yacht in the warmer waters of the world getting richer from your stock investments you are just bending over wanting more. The last tax changes had so many screw-you-later clauses in it for those making less than $5MM/year it was laughable. Yeah there were a couple of things to make it so that you didn't notice your pain for a year or two, but it's all there hidden in a 5" stack of FU...
As far as State and Federal laws being followed. EVERY DARN ONE of the states election boards is screaming that they are doing to the best it's ever been done. Propping up people who say they cheated and then recant doesn't look good to anyone. Chasing down military families that are voting the way they have been told to for 50 years looks worse. Saying that the democrats cheated on the Presidential election but couldn't on the Senate, yeah that sounds like a good plan..
Oh btw what you wrote as "
Anyone here know what 'communism' looks like before it fully shows up? NOT the Trump side ...
"
Says that the tRump side doesn't know what communism looks like before it shows up. Which I agree with. tRump supporters seem to be missing all the clues of a leadership running around with their hair on fire...

Polar-opposite worlds. I just don't get it. Anyone here know what 'communism' looks like before it fully shows up? NOT the Trump side ...
Ya know... it was BIDEN in the first debate who said he would accept the election after all states were certified......
If Biden wins -- legally and properly -- then so be it. Everyone should desire transparency and legality, 100% of the way. Especially nowadays.

See pandemic is pandemic, there is no such thing as "handling it right" l anybody who says there is is a part of the above mentioned group of morons.
50 50 if the old man comes home. But my orange "buffoon" opened a door that got his odds up from the original 80 percent coffin rate.
That's what I laugh at "orange man bad" idiots that spout their hypocrisy, bigotry and generally retarded tripe.
Rotflmao, however some more cliches... the change my mind

Having the DOJ chase down military people who vote out of state for years because of normal military transfers ( 3K so far in NV ) which has been the normal state of affairs for over 70 years and characterize that as voter fraud is going a little bit too far in my book. I still am hoping that he is going after that more about raising money than actually thinking he can corrupt the belief in the voting system.--

I don’t agree at all. Trump got elected because more than half the country really really really disliked Hillary.Really really really disliked Hillary.I don’t know of anyone that voted for Trump because they liked him. Everyone I know thought he was an ass hat from the get go.Second, you all have seen, first hand, for 4 years how little a president can actually do to harm a country. Not much. He didn’t start any wars so that is about the most damaging thing he can do. He didn’t act on the virus properly but lots of countries fall into the same category. He embarrassed us on the world stage. That is about it. Congress can affect us. Presidents not so much.We have always had nationalists here. It is part of the culture. Some call it patriotism. I don’t think it is bad. I am not a globalist. I support our country and our national interests above other nations. Part of rooting for the home team. Being a patriot is a far stretch from dictatorship.From: Jaime SolorzaSent: Wednesday, November 11, 2020 8:01 AMSubject: Re: [AFMUG] OT: The Silence is deafening..The scariest part is how many actually voted for an inept nationalist xenophobic clown ...it portends of bad things ahead.

I cant take credit on that oneHeres some crazy stuff, I'm pretty sure offering up campaign funds for anything other than a campaign is illegal.I told you guys, this is gonna get hilarious. By the time it's all said and done, theyll find 100 percent evidence biden cheated and there will be no republicans left not in prison for the RNC to put in the big seat.Was reading another article from one of the mainstreams about what happens if there is no certification and the congress has to vote in a new potus, apparently it's not limited to the two candidates, it's got to do with aggregate votes and would potentially leave bernie sanders in a position to be president. Its was MSM and they're full of shit all the time but it sounded good. Can you imagine that, the dnc fucked this guy over twice in a concerted effort, particularly in 2016 when he had a real good chance of beating the republican., and then he pulls that feat off. I'd love it. I hate his policies, and hed have zero chance of implementing 95 percent of them, but I'd pay to watch that happen.--On Tue, Nov 10, 2020, 9:37 PM Adam Moffett <dmmoff...@gmail.com> wrote:
