Will Trump's sad refusal to concede damage democracy around the world? - Page 3 - Politics and Society -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Clinton bombed Iraq. Carter overthrew the shah. He represents the USA in full much more than the left cares to admit. They're too busy realizing now that their great democracy was built on slavery.

I agree with nuclearDonkey, he def represents the USA as well. hes just more crass about it. but policywise the Dems are much closer to Trump than they are to Bernie.

as they should be overall for the betterment of the country.

you're just looking out for the 1% who make less than 25k a year. Victor I would love if you could live 9 lives, and spend 1 for each of the other countries you think are better than america and see the final results.

I expect better out of you, Trolly. The woman unironically claimed she was a Native American and was made fun of as a result.

Get out of here with your Monday morning pearl-clutching.

The US already ranked low on election integrity before any of this. At no point in history was the US a bastion of democracy. Stronger and more well functioning democracies will continue working just fine.

They were right, some of you need to heal from your TDS.

It is, though. It really is. A peaceful transfer of power and granting that one's victorious opponents are legitimate is fundamental to the legitimacy of democracy (or democratic republics) as a system of governance. Trump is undermining both, and has been since his birtherism.

Whereas as I have so such expectations of you, Ins0. I 100% expect to to giggle at his dumb racist namecalling.

PS: “Monday morning pearl-clutching” is gibberish. You don’t know what these idioms mean or how to use them.

I'm not sure how much credibility you have on this point. You also thought that Biden -- and every other Democrat who ran for president in 2020 -- was "somehow worse" than Trump.

Where is win-win for AMERICA!

By the way, there is no pretending they converted and getting out early. One of the final tests requires kissing a Hillary Clinton doppelgänger on the lips.

Yet they never said stop the votes so they could canvas for fake reports.

They moved the country toward, and used the constitutionally provided remedy. Trump is not doing that.

I'm not hopeful bcause trump is not the cause of the democratic problems.

I don’t know anyone who thinks the system and framework in the US is okay. Literally not a single person.

The problem is it is almost impossible to fix using the systems in place.

You are the second dumb person to say this in this thread.

Do I need to provide examples on why this logic is complete fail?

But I will remember this if you ever complain about Biden.

“Circle January 20, 2032 on your calendar!”

Continuing to greatly enjoy Inso0's reaction to Trump's defeat being to run around across several threads manically blaming lefties for every ill in this country, up to and including GOP voters taking to ballot counting centers with guns (!!), and demanding lefties stop being "triggered"...when, you know, their candidate won...which is definitely not projection about his own feelings

They're still in the transition period. It'll take some time for the hivemind to move on from waking up every single day and finding some excuse to tell everyone how awful Donald Trump is.

Four solid years of being triggered 24/7 is a hard habit to break.

But then, I'm still mad about getting fleeced for 3 grand to fill in my perfectly functional well coming on almost 5 years ago now. Some cuts are just that deep. **** you, City of Wauwatosa.
