You honor nothing.I honor the opinion of 65% of voting Floridians who want ex-felons to be able to vote. Not the anti-democratic impulses of DeSantis and Repubs who control the legislature.

Your arrogance in such matters is your weakness and the GOP is getting better and better at exploiting that arrogant self-confidence.
Which party is likely to continue to pick-up 'converts' over the course of time... the one that abandons a segment, or the one that holds out open arms?
Indeed. You make a good case in this instance for what I've been asserting about a dramatic growth of the Racial Divide. Sad but true.
Not to mention Black bigotry. Like goes with like. Has since the dawn of time. Will 'til the end of time. That just won't change appreciably.
Yes. It is clear that that this is what you have pinned your hopes upon. It is also clear that your exposure is insufficient to gauge this on the macro scale.
magine what the GOP would have done with the Trump agenda but with a vastly more effective Executor of Policy and skilled Communicator.
That's going to be your next Big Challenge... and it's coming.
It's okay, you are pretty much wrong about everything. And I know it's impossible for you to picture a white person who doesn't embrace bigotry.Truly. I could have sworn that you had declared differently at some point over the years. My mistake.
Sigh. Elitist complacency with the status quo will come back to bite you in the backside every time. But it is Fate of Man that he forgets or never learns.
An interesting perspective.
Hey, KKKondor, the KKKleaners called, they can't get the gravy out of your brownshirt, but your robes will be ready on Saturday.
Yes. You Democratic Party hacks routinely delude yourselves that it's always gerrymandering and never your policies and social reengineering....The ONLY reason why the GOP is going to do well in this midterm is that Trump fucked up the Census and undercounted minorities, and they Gerrymandered themselves an advantage. in the Generic vote, according to right wing Real Clear Politics, the GOP advantage is only 0.2. (By comparison, it was 7% in 2014)
Not confused at all. I can read census demographics just as well as the next guy....You see, this is where you are getting confused.
Not to mention Blacks shrinking from 13% to 12.4% in the 2010-to-2020 Census comparison cycle. The only appreciable growth is in Hispanics...16 > 18%...Old bigoted white people are a shrinking demographic, not a growing one.
Big Corporations are money-whores that bend with the wind... this means very little in the long run....Here's the real clue for you.. Big corporations are switching their support to Democrats after DECADES of going along with the
Keep deluding yourself that this is the reason why you are losing 'market share'... your adversaries are licking their chops at your collective arrogance....GOP's appeals to racism, homophobia and sexism. Even they realize they don't want to live with a bunch of crazies clinging to their guns and bibles.
Again... as in 2016... your collective delusion is remarkable... I discount 2020 because Rump had to go, even if it meant setting-up a Placeholder President....Except is isn't growing, it's shrinking.
Not interested in curing Black Anger... neither are most White Folk... but certainly willing to share with those who stop making excuses out of the past....heres how you cure black anger (not bigotry). Hold racist cops accountable when they kill black people. Give them fair access to all the things we white people take for granted.
Like goes with Like... always has, since the dawn of time... always will, until the end of time... it's human nature... and ten thousand years wouldn't change that....Actually, nothing of the sort. I just look at my own family, where my own generation tends to be fairly bigoted except for myself, but my nieces and nephews are more enlightened. Even the ones who are a bit more conservative are kind of horrified by Trump.
Don't lump ME in with them... I voted for Obumble (twice), for Shrillary, and for Sleepy Old Uncle Joe... haven't voted for an (R) since Dubya (unfortunately)....But here's the problem... you guys had that with Kasich, Cruz, Rubio, Jeb Bush, Perry and a bunch of others whose names I can't remember right now. You hopped over all of them to pick Trump because we are a celebrity-oriented society.
Partisan spin on spilt milk methinks....The real problem in 16, though, was that Hillary was so arrogant that she though she could elbow her way to the Presidency despite being thoroughly disliked by even Democrats. It's not because White people were MORE bigoted than they were in 2012 when they got behind a Mormon Cult Leader and drank the racist koolaid. What killed Hillary was so many smug assholes who voted third party to show how special they were. That and Black people stayed home in 2016 because they didn't like Hillary, either.
Could very well be... they're every bit as idiotic as the Dems... just in different ways... and they, too, delude themselves, and never truly learn or remember....The more likely outcome. The GOP will interpret their taking the house as a mandate for their crazy, pass a bunch of crazy laws that will die in the Senate or get vetoed by Biden, and generally remind everyone they are nuts. This is what they did in 1995 and 2011.
If you're Black (which I continue to believe) then the huge chip on your shoulder is explainable....It's okay, you are pretty much wrong about everything. And I know it's impossible for you to picture a white person who doesn't embrace bigotry.
A charming delusion, to be sure....Quite the contrary, more liberal youth and more immigration, you guys have dug yourself into a deep hole.
That certainly does not describe me personally, but I grant you that idiot Republicans are hooked on that a$$hole....you say you don't like Trump, but the fact is, you can't quit him.
And that's where you're very, very wrong, and far more delusional than is safe for you to indulge yourself in.You've already abandoned all your supposed principles - family values, law and order, security, free trade - to back his bigotry. A GOP without Trump is an empty shell.
The next few years will tell that tale.A realistic one. America is replete with movements based on bigotry... they all inevitably fail and they all are looked badly upon in the history books.
Funny stuff, Joey-Boy... but entirely meaningless, rather like your attacks upon me.
Yes. You Democratic Party hacks routinely delude yourselves that it's always gerrymandering and never your policies and social reengineering.
It's one of several "blind spots" that your adversaries have (finally) recognized and they're quickly learning how to exploit that and other weak spots.
Not confused at all. I can read census demographics just as well as the next guy.

No, they really aren't.Keep deluding yourself that this is the reason why you are losing 'market share'... your adversaries are licking their chops at your collective arrogance.
Actually, if anything, 2016 was the outlier, not 2020. In fact, the GOP hasn't won the popular vote since 2004. And even then, just barely with the advantages of an ongoing war and an incumbent president.Again... as in 2016... your collective delusion is remarkable... I discount 2020 because Rump had to go, even if it meant setting-up a Placeholder President.
Except we can't escape our past... we need to address it and we haven't.Not interested in curing Black Anger... neither are most White Folk... but certainly willing to share with those who stop making excuses out of the past.
Like goes with Like... always has, since the dawn of time... always will, until the end of time... it's human nature... and ten thousand years wouldn't change that.
What DOES signify is the extent to which we, as citizens, despite our own racial prejudices and biases, manage to participate in a commonwealth together.
Don't lump ME in with them... I voted for Obumble (twice), for Shrillary, and for Sleepy Old Uncle Joe... haven't voted for an (R) since Dubya (unfortunately).
Partisan spin on spilt milk methinks.
If you're Black (which I continue to believe) then the huge chip on your shoulder is explainable.
If you're White, then there are all kinds of explanations for your contempt for White Folk who won't dance your Amalgamation Polka...
And that's where you're very, very wrong, and far more delusional than is safe for you to indulge yourself in.
I am, indeed, racist. So are you. So is virtually every other poster here. It's just that some of us recognize and admit it, while many won't face reality.Yet you expose your racism with every post.
It's the "Whitelash" that CNN commentator Van Jones was crying about on the morning of November 9, 2016.Again, being realisitic, buddy. The GOP has been playing these Racial Fear tactics since Tricky Dick and the Southern Strategy. Reagan and his "Welfare Queens" and "Young Bucks". Bush Sr. "Willie Horton" ad, Jesse Helm's "White Hands" ad. Trump has just taken the racist dog whistle and replaced it with a bull horn.
Yep. And the only reason why LibProgs have prospered is because the White Vote has been split. That "split" appears to be tilting rapidly to the Right.Well, apparently you can't, as whites have been declining as a percentage of the population for decades.
We'll know more in 2030 ...but you sure do enjoy pointing-out that Whites are declining... I wonder why?First, 2020 was a severely flawed census, both due to Covid and Trump's intentional incompetence. Minorities were intentionally undercounted by design. Secondly, non- Hispanic White folks DID Decline... from 63.7% to 58% of the population. Third, Asians also grew.
I'll remind you of that once we're deep into the next cycle of Conservative or Right Wing rule as fickle corporate whores change their spots again.Except they know which way the wind is blowing, and it's against the bigots. But I think it's bigger than that. I think they are starting to figure out, after presiding over 10 of the last 12 recessions (assuming we are in a recession this time) that Republicans really don't know what they are doing.
Yes. I realize that LibProgs cannot bring themselves to admit that 2016 was a reaction against their agenda rather than as the anomaly that they pretend.No, they really aren't. Actually, if anything, 2016 was the outlier, not 2020. In fact, the GOP hasn't won the popular vote since 2004. And even then, just barely with the advantages of an ongoing war and an incumbent president.
We've done more-than-enough of that already. People are far more focused upon family and career and finances and health than any of that $hit.Except we can't escape our past... we need to address it and we haven't.
Wow... talk about white privilege!
Yes. I understand that it is hard for you to believe that. We differ in that I neither trust nor revere any of them. They were merely the better choice at the time.Hard to believe that you voted for them and call them names.
Nothing signifies in the political arena except (a) victory and (b) sustainable policy.Um, a pretty good analysis. Let's go to the NUMBERS, shall we.
Oh, I freely admit to the "racist" descriptor, with the caveat outlined at the beginning of this response. As to the rest, you confuse me with somebody else.Um. Sure. You are stupid. you are racist. You keep putting in idiots who fuck it up for the rest of us.
Dancing to racist dog whistles? Nope. Merely taking care of my own, first, and willing to accommodate others insofar as it does no harm to my own.Now, I voted Republican all the way up until 2008. Then I realized that the GOP only serves the interest of the investor class. That you still haven't figured that out yet and are still dancing to the racist dog whistles says a lot.
Yep. The idiot Republicans are every bit as pathetic a collection of hypocrites as we see on the Left... just in different ways... and more obvious in recent times.You have to do better than, "You're wrong".
The GOP once impeached Clinton over an affair, but are perfectly fine with a guy who has cheated on all three of his wives, paid porn stars for sex, and boasts about grabbing women by the pussy. Family Values? Not really.
Yep. Their 19th century Isolationist mindset is dangerous in a 21st century world of global interdependencies and high-speed travel and communications.Hey, one of the main reasons that I stuck with the GOP a lot longer than I should have was because I believe in a firm national defense. Trump undermined NATO, cozied up to Kim and Putin, etc. And, heck, you see the GOP Sheep going along with it to the point where they sound like a Hippy Drum Circle. National Security, not really.
Shut off the faucet at the southern border, get ultra-tough on urban crime, and dump Woke so-called prosecuting DAs, and you can defuse their argument.Law and Order? HA! Trump is under investigation in Georgia, New York, Florida and DC for various crimes he committed in or after leaving office.
I am, indeed, racist. So are you. So is virtually every other poster here. It's just that some of us recognize and admit it, while many won't face reality.
There is nothing wrong with being focused first and foremost upon the welfare of "your own kind", so long as you don't go out of your way to harm others.
The vast majority of Blacks focus first-and-foremost upon the welfare of Blacks.
The vast majority of Hispanics focus first-and-foremost upon the welfare of Hispanics.
The vast majority of Asians focus first-and-foremost upon the welfare of Asians.
The vast majority of Native Americans focus first-and-foremost upon the welfare of Native Americans.
The vast majority of Whites focus first-and-foremost upon the welfare of Whites.
It's the "Whitelash" that CNN commentator Van Jones was crying about on the morning of November 9, 2016.
It is a warning rattle that LibProgs have taken their social reengineering (racially-focused and otherwise) agenda too far. Dems ignore that at their peril.
There's no real evidence of that. In fact, if anything, the percentage of white people who vote Repuke has beenYep. And the only reason why LibProgs have prospered is because the White Vote has been split. That "split" appears to be tilting rapidly to the Right.
We'll know more in 2030 ...but you sure do enjoy pointing-out that Whites are declining... I wonder why?

I have never, to the best of my recollection, denied it.I'm glad you are finally admitting it.
D's are just like R's? D's are Nazi Taliban mutants from hell?I’m not a D, but my answer is they are just like the Rs.
