Do We Let Them Vote Next Time?

You're weird.

 

Comey is a lawyer. He's not going to drop any bombshells while there's an open ongoing investigation. If there is any juicy material it'll be denied due to its classified nature. If there is any intrigue, it'll be like a sacrifice bunt. Just enough to keep people talking for a couple of news cycles

 

He's going to say Trump is a liar. Trump's reaction will do the rest.

 

Don't vote for them.

I told you that you would be disappointed

 

No. Vote for the only person with a realistic shot at winning.

 

This is...odd.

So, why hold an election if there is only one person who can be estimated to have a "realistic shot at winning?" I thought we weren't Mubarak's Egypt, or Stalinist Soviet Union.

 

Hail Grimes!

 

I'll defend self-described deplorables right to vote. Whether they live or die is not something I particularly care about.

 

With this weekend's news, and the outcome of the G-20 and Trump's meeting with Putin, I think it's safe to say that our worst fears about Trump are coming to pass. So this thread deserves a bump.

I'm fearful for democracy. Zakaria warned in the 90s about the rise of illiberal democracy, and we're seeing it. Sadly, the defense against this is illiberal democracy. Assuming we don't want to take a chance of this happening again, we have a choice between not letting people who consume propaganda vote, or regulating news content to stop "news" organizations from lying to voters and tricking them into believing things that aren't true.

Those are 3 shitty, shitty choices.

@American Brummie an article about a study that contradicts Nyhan.

 

So when do we send the troops to South Carolina?

But then again, we are in a position where Lincoln loses the election.

 

We won't have to worry about letting "Them" vote
The question is "Will" they let us vote???

Probably all of us. Although as Dave writes, your proposition is starting to tempt.

 

Your position sounds so reasonable when you put it that way....

 

You do realize that Trump is behind Kasich in early 2020 GOP polls.

 

Is anyone else doing 2020 GOP primary polls?
