Ballot harvesting is more prominent on the left. Ballot harvesters target low energy voters.

Obstructing can also be a positive thing when 51 percent of the voters try to implement legislation that is unconstitutional.

That may be true from a Trumper point of view, hating the opposition is the entire agenda
Isn't this an ironic statement? You can't possibly be using the word "Trumper" in anything other than a pejorative way in that sentence.

You’re talking about influence, which is irrelevant to this discussion.
Oh it is most certainly relevant. Even in New York, constituents are getting pissed off at AOC for voting with the lobbyists 100 percent of the time.
If AOC was supposed to be the apex of democratic hope and change rather than yet another candidate installed thru the primaries with powerful DC lobby influence, then the entire system is broken beyond all repair.
It would be nice to live in a country where the laws are written by elected lawmakers instead of appointed lobbyists, but that will take a revolution to reverse now.

So the CNN story is "right wing"?
Ok Bro.
Why is it when CNN calls Biden out on hypocrisy as the CNN article I posted did, all of a sudden CNN is "right wing media?"
You sound like a demagogue cultist with that kind of logic. And I know you don't even like Biden, so it's doubly short sighted.

because people don’t vote the way you want them to.
This isn't about me. Polls across America have Congress below 20 percent approval. That's because When Congress passes a bill, it rewards lobbyists first and voters secondly. If the voters try to promote a candidate that votes differently than the status quo oligarchy, the lobbyists make sure that candidate never gets past the primaries.
Obamacare was written by lobbyists. PPP was written by lobbyists.
Voters have next to no representation in today's sham democracy, and the polls on Congress reflect that awareness.
It's all the illusion of choice, and people are not going to support this much longer.

to form a more perfect Union,
Democrats call half the country traitors.
establish Justice,
Democrats create justice based on skin color.
insure domestic Tranquility,
Democrats promote the summer of love.
provide for the common defence,
Democrat Congress gives billions for the defense of other oligarchs.
promote the general Welfare, and
Democrat Congress funnels billions to Green energy lobbies while people struggle for basic goods.
secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves andsecure the Blessings of Liberty to our Posterity
Democrat Congress gives lockdowns and mandates.
Also supports the sexual grooming of children.

The problem isn’t democracy, it’s human nature.
I really don't understand your point. If the goal of Democracy is to give power to the majority of the people, then why is power wielded by representatives of a minority of people, no matter what party?

A failing democracy will inevitably result in autocracy. Is that what you prefer?
We are already there. Lobbies not only get the yays or nays for legislation they support and the voters do not, they physically write the legislation for the Congress (see Obamacare as Exhibit A and Trump Era Covid legislation for Exhibit B)
You can't simply vote your way out of this problem at this point.

- That includes Trump's blackmail $400 million
400 million for peace or 60 billion for death....
What a dilemma here.
- I said "Russians had more of everything except Democracy. "
You clearly don't have clue one about Ukraine. Eastern Ukrainians in the Donbas have had zero opportunities for Democracy because of Zelensky's Euromaidan revolution. Putin had nothing to do with that, but America sure did with the financial support to "pro American Democracy"
Americans have a similar crony Democracy because all policies go through the lobby oligarchy headed by then Pelosi and McConnell who have support near single digits among the American voters.
We don't need that kind of Democracy, neither do the Ukrainians in the Donbas.

That's not the issue of your hyperbole.
Stating that education is bad in America because a few people (or as you said any one person) out of millions have insane ideas doesn't prove any actual noticeable societal trend.
Focusing on hyperbolic outliers like the KKK, for example, which have 3000 members in a population of over 300 million is exactly that. Hyperbole.
Antifa was a group obsessed with hyperbolic fanfictional narratives. The damage they caused to the country wasn't fiction, sadly.

That anyone believes it's not rape if you get her pregnant,
Now this is beyond hyperbole. You really need a constructive hobby dude. Fanfiction like this isn't.

@Mharman
It's like the assumption is that pregnancy is a terminal illness for the mother in most cases (it isn't)
And the assumption that the people that vote for abortion laws don't know anything about pregnancy. (most people that don't know also don't care enough to vote)

Biden tries to mend fences with ally Saudi Arabia, but it's not enough.
Maybe he shouldn't have opened his big trap over Khashoggi in the 1st place.
Enjoy the winter.

You can only hope.
It's gonna happen. Fact.
You also predicted a red wave this past election. Of course you were wrong.
Pretty sure your girlfriend Pelosi got voted out.
Since Dems are in control of the Senate, expect the House to do more of the same wall to wall investigations like Pelosi did to get votes from low educated sheep.

If you are suggesting Biden did you would be wrong. 3rd quarter of 2022 was up 2.6.

@Public-Choice
Correct. As long as the economy is good for the donor class (and the Dems made sure that happened with the lockdowns and subsidies) the politicians get to stay in power because the lobbies control what the public is allowed to care about.
I fully expect the GOP to copy what the Dems did to distract voters.

You talk about "winning", but Russia has said from the start they only wanted the Donbas. Not the strawman Kiev.

I heard they would redo the Jan 6 hearings and hold Pelosi accountable for opening the doors, waving off the police, and hiring a film crew, putting democracy at risk for a midterm photo op.... after all, that's a proven path for success with today's voter. Spooky scary hearings.....

Establishment Dems are actually more afraid of Biden than Trump at this point. Half of the Dem Senators recently voted to end the Covid emergency executive powers....which Biden promised to veto.
Wonder why establishment Dem Senators are so afraid of what Biden will do next with those Covid powers since the whole college bailout failure...

@Sidewalker
Hitler came to power because he got Germany out of the great depression,
Why can't Democrats fix the economy instead of spending money we don't have on green energy corporate subsidies and imposing climate change lockdowns on energy?
Is it absolutely necessary to trust nice people to be necessarily incompetent?
Or maybe it's because nice people can get away with far more corruption like the Weimar did?
I wish more people would treat politicians as used car salesmen. If you like your salesman, you probably got screwed.

- Yeah, a 21st century Battle of Marathon- a superpower ten times their size invaded and the people didn't back down, didn't flee, they beat back invaders who had more of everything except democracy.
I'm sure the Western Ukrainians are all so happy to freeze to death over the oligarch's conquest of the Donbas. Most of them clearly did not vote for that, to freeze to death this winter over control of the ethnically Russian Donbas.
But Americans, I can believe they would willingly vote for more recession for another nation's conquests. They are that stupid.
