    the moral of the story is

    Don't cheat an election and you won't get threats.


    i guess.

    Opinions like that are all due to a strict diet of only right wing EXTREME fake news. You're living a lie.

    Opinions like that prevail among enlightened tolerant progressive liberal Democrats. Don't tell me you yourself, being a card-carrying Democrat, do not hate a bad orange man?

    You say that like there's something wrong with hating a bad orange man. Being a Democrat is irrelevant.

    Democrats act on feeling, Conservatives use brains. So it follows, hating is Democrats' prerogative.

    Well known fact!

    40 years ago I would have agreed with you. Today the opposite is true.

    Regardless, hating the bad orange man is seen not as a bad thing, but as a patriotic duty, among most Americans.

    Hating the bad orange man is a patriotic duty among Democrats, not among most Americans. Big difference.

    Uh...no. Trump lost. He lost bigly. Most Americans. Democrats, Republicans and independents.

    First, I'm not a democrat. Democrats run for appeasement and compromise when they need to grow a spine and kick arse.

    Second, a survey found that 54% of voters in the survey said they voted AGAINST Trump rather than FOR Biden. That should tell you that Trump is really an objectionable and detestable thug and a pathological narcissist that you seem unable to see. So "orange man bad" is very well justified. Especially when other surveys exceed those numbers.

    ~ Bad Orange Man did much good for middle America. That's what is important. Unfortunately enough do not see things that way . "The Squad" is more appealing . [​IMG]

    Voting is much more basic. Everyone should vote, in fact, voting should be mandated by law. The ONLY reason to own your own business is because you can make more money that way and most people can't

    Hating the bad orange man is a duty among any people with common sense, American or not.

    What a bullshit socialist statement - most of the richest of the rich are not businessmen, they’re employees!

    Some of us non voters don't like authoritarianism.

    It can't be the only reason because I started my own business for freedom, not money. The left doesn't really appreciate freedom. I understand that but disagree with it.

    That's true. Last I heard Gates only held 7% of the Microsoft stock and was employed by them as their Chief Technical Officer having been (amicably, I think) unseated as their CEO some years ago.

    I think Bezos and Zuckerberg have similar arrangements. It's far cheaper tax wise I believe

    In any case, however, they are not "running their own business". They are Key Employees but not even close to being sole proprietors or owning partners.

    Only in the opinion of those who can't accept Trump's loss.

    BTW, did you hear ? Trump lost to Biden and is huddled in a closet, crying, in the White House.
