    Judging by context it means destroy the economy mandate things you have no business mandating and sputter out unintelligible sentence fragments.

    Trump and his buddies love Vlad Putin and all other authoritarian dictators. They are now attacking our election system and insisting that any election Trump does not win should be decertified. Stalin tactics all the way.

    Republicans most definitely, if y’all are good at anything it is subverting the will of the people — gerrymandering is the best tool y’all have there.
    I was of course speaking of the presidency, if you could follow a conversation that would be apparent.

    Watch the youth vote

    Damn right. Stalin after getting into power once said: “It matters not who votes, it only matters who count the votes”. Trumpists state legislators are now passing bills which would take that power to count the votes from non partisan local election boards and give that power to hyper partisan panels appointed by political hacks in state legislators. Stalinism on the rise in Trumpist GOP circles.

    I know what you were talking about, couldn’t miss it when you posted a chart showing only the Presidential vote percentages. I assumed you did that intentionally because you didn’t want to bring attention to the other local, state and federal elections. That would not have been good for your narrative.

    What's funny is both "Build Back Better" is pretty much the same thing as "MAGA". Both are supposed to be about making things better.

    and both parties have no clue or desire to actually make things better for anyone unless it serves their purposes. Sadly too many people believe all of the BS their side puts out

    I’m an unaffiliated voter. I spent quite a few years in local party politics (not too corrupt at that level) but I saw how vicious and corrupt politics at the state and federal levels is. I said a pox on both parties and walked away from it.

    Local and state elections are largely irrelevant on a national scale (which is what is being discussed)

    Again, follow the conversation, there isn’t that many posts — even you should be able to keep up.

    If you want to discuss federal elections (House & Senate) feel free to post a chart showing the percentages increasing.
    If you can find one not from a hate group or hyper partisan source that is.

    I think you’re hopelessly in over you head here. The OP is about build back better, not the relevance of national elections. YOU brought that up and I responded. So if you don’t want a discussion on national elections, which you pretend you do, just bow out gracefully while you can and go trolling somewhere else.

    Seems I gave you too much credit on being able to follow the discussion over two pages, inability to follow a discussion that you started and now cannot even back up your own claims.

    “The Democrats think unrestricted mass immigration will ensure them a permanent majority in America’s government”

    You brought up national elections through saying Democrats believe they can overtake those elections with mass immigration, also without any evidence outside of your opinion. Seems to be a trend where you confuse your opinion with reality.

    Now bringing out the personal attacks because of that massive failure. Sad, but typical

    Did you not pick up on the meaning of "pathway to citizenship?"

    Which isn’t happening… especially not on a scale that would impact elections.
