    Ooph, these comments. Obviously this incredibly incompetent move from pelosi is going to hurt democrats.

    According to the latest polling, half of all democrats and half of all 18-35 (edit: 18-29)year olds view this as a genocide. Of the other half, more are undecided than donā€™t think itā€™s a genocide.

    You canā€™t insult serious beliefs of half your base and think there wonā€™t be consequences.

    Of course trump is a serious threat to democracy. Just like the last time Iā€™m going to hold my nose and vote for biden. And just like last time, senior democrats are going to do everything in their power to shoot themselves in the foot.

      If it werenā€™t actively and directly leading to the possible demise of democracy in America, it would be goddamn hilarious how good the Democratic leadership is at machine gunning their own foot.

        Yall need another party that actually matters in the race. Libertarians are crazy too and donā€™t matter. And Thereā€™s no 4th option.

          I agree completely. But weā€™re not going to get one, because we have laws whose express intent is to make it nearly impossible for parties outside of the main two to have any real level of success.
