“In our system the president’s authority is total. That’s the way it’s gotta be.” No it’s NOT total (we have a president, not a king. And no man, even the president, is above the law) And no it’s NOT the way it’s gotta be because it’s not the way it’s SUPPOSED to be. Civics 101.

Of course white police should be able to police Black people. They just shouldn’t be able to execute them.

Of course he wasn’t! And neither am I! But he was aware that peaceful revolution has to happen, corruption has to end, the will of the people has to be served, or ultimately the people will violently rebel.

I tweet this quote every once in a while just in case there’s anyone out there who hasn’t thought about it long and hard: “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable.” - President John F. Kennedy

“There won’t be a transition, there will be a continuation.” And he is not joking. nbcnews.com/politics/2020-el…

There is no “better.” I personally stay with the original version from the foundation for inner peace.

Congress is a coequal branch of government. Even if he wins, nothing could be more important than that Congress be in the hands of Democrats. We have to walk and chew gum at the same time here.

“Close students of election law and procedure are warning that conditions are ripe for a constitutional crisis that would leave the nation without an authoritative result. We have no fail-safe against that calamity. Thus the blinking red lights.”theatlantic.com/magazine/arc…

To you he has proven it; he has not proven it to me. That comparison is not objective evidence. I understand people saying they’re not going to vote for Biden; that’s their right. But claiming it’s a more sophisticated political perspective is ridiculous.

Watch out; I asked questions like that on the campaign trail and was said to have “dangerous ideas about mental health.” What you’re describing goes on all over America and will, if unchecked, have devastating effects on millions of people’s lives.

Most Democrats & Republicans ARE working people. It doesn’t serve to separate ourselves all the time, and no one has a monopoly on patriotism. I think it’s any American who cares about our Constitution and our democratic norms.

Whether you’re conservative or liberal or progressive shouldn’t even matter. The demographic that needs to defeat this president is any American committed to the cause of liberty & justice for all. We can have freedom or we can have an authoritarian strongman; we can’t have both.
