We have elections. We have results. We make arguments based on the fact and reason-not conspiracy and fantasy,” democrat Chuck Schumer added. There’s only one problem with democrat Chuck’s “argument based on fact and reason.” Democrats have been challenging the electoral vote certification for 2 decades. The last three times a republican has been elected president - Trump in 2016 and George W. Bush in both 2000 and 2004 - democrats in the House have brought objections to the electoral votes in states the GOP nominee won. In early 2005 specifically, democrat Barbara Boxer, along with democrat. Stephanie Tubbs, objected to Bush’s 2004 electoral votes in Ohio. Illinois Senator democrat Dick Durbin appears to be even more incensed at republican Josh Hawley’s plan to object to the electoral college vote. “The political equivalent of barking at the moon,” democrat Dick Durbin, said of republican Hawley joining the challenge to electoral slates. “This won’t be taken seriously, nor should it be. The American people made a decision on Nov. 3rd and that decision must and will be honored and protected by the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.” Democrat Dick Durbin seems to forget he was singing a different tune in 2005. Then, it was democrats questioning the results of the Ohio vote which went narrowly for George Bush. Democrat Durbin had words of praise for democrat Boxer then: “Some may criticize our colleague from California for bringing us here for this brief debate,” Durbin said on the Senate floor following Boxer’s objection, while noting that he would vote to certify the Ohio electoral votes for Bush. “I thank her for doing that because it gives members an opportunity once again on a bipartisan basis to look at a challenge that we face not just in the last election in one State but in many States.” In fact, the Ohio electoral vote challenge was only the beginning. Rumors and conspiracy theories swirled around the outcome on election night that saw Bush winning Ohio by a close, but the surprisingly comfortable margin of 120,000 votes. So why are so many of these headlines familiar to us today? Democrat Mother Jones: “Recounting the Election: Was Ohio stolen?” Democrat New York Times:“Glitch Found in Ohio Counting” They even included some voting machine controversies. Democrat National Election Defense Coalition: “PARTISAN TECHNOLOGY FIRM IS IMPLICATED IN JOHN KERRY’S IMPLAUSIBLE LOSS IN OHIO 2004 Democrat NBC News: “Machine Glitch Gave Bush Extra Ohio Votes”

Meanwhile, Germany has the strongest worker unions in the world and not coincidentally, the strongest ECONOMY in the world. People deride socialism without realizing that America is a blend of socialism and capitalism. The only problem is, our capitalism isn't regulated AT ALL and it has turned our nation into a third world country. The rich were taxed far more during FDR's administration and the middle class and economy of America broke records in how fast it grew after languishing in the Dust Bowl era, previously. History is not on your side. No one said do away with capitalism in this clip.

And he added: you must be a little crazy to _want_ to be the president. That is why the careerists, sellouts, narcissists and psychopaths make it into positions of power. Regular decent people would of course have second thoughts - but not them. They move on and GRAB power if they can.

As he did not win the nomination and after that the presidency - I am glad the Biden admin screwed him and progressives and did not integrate them into the admin.

Those independents don't identify as democrats because the democratic party is too right leaning for them; and when they aren't voting for third party, they vote for the most left wing candidates of the democrats. The most left wing candidates of the democrats would be center-left in most Western nations in Europe. The "moderate" democrats would fit into right wing conservative parties.
