Problems With Liberal Democracy

[GO-NAD!]

I read this book recently and highly recommend it to anyone wondering how the wrong people end up in power.
Corruptible Book — BRIAN KLAAS (brianpklaas.com)

In liberal democracies, we elect them, because our lizard brains tell too many of us to vote for them. @highfigh I think you would certainly like it, as it offers much insight into incompetent and corrupt politicians and cops - a couple of your favourite bugbears.

This is not how a liberal democracy is supposed to function.

FYI Jesse Watters just said Trump's indictments are fake. He also did damage control for DeSantis on the part about blacks developing "skills" in their trades as slaves.

It's Fox News - the only News channel that has made sworn testimony that "no reasonable person would take them seriously, as their programming is clearly intended as entertainment and not factual News"

Therefore, take them at their (sworn in court) word - wait to hear it from a reliable source, and in the interrim, assume that it may well be outright lies (aka "fake news").

Whatever Hunter Biden's legal problems are, I haven't heard of any credible allegations that they pose any danger to American democracy. Unlike Trump, he never exploited public office for personal gain.

He’s engaging in making false equivalences to distract from the threat Republican authoritarianism.

LMAO, you don't think he didn't use his fathers position for his own personal gain ? !!

and don't forget....... '10% for the Big Guy'

why do you think I said lock him and Trump up in the same cell, I'm thinking of the tax payers best interest, save some $$

At least Tucker's gone.

That makes no difference.

I disagree. Tucker was lying at a 90% clip LOL.

While he may have profited from his name*, that is not in the same league as Trumps offences. Not. Even. Close. Biden may be a drug-addict grifter, but he was not an elected official taking advantage of that position. Trump represents an existential threat to democracy in the USA.

Can you not see the difference?

*To be clear, that is not something I support, or excuse.

Although Hannity and Ingraham would be nice. Or the trailer trash MTG.

of course I can see the difference !!! NOT ONCE did I claim apples to apples comparison !! You, like several others on here seem to think every time I make a remark on someone from the left you think I'm coming across as a MAGA Trump supporter, NOTHING could be further from the truth. Show me one time where I did that, you can't !

Can you see the difference and understand that not all conservative individuals are Trump lovers ?

Yes, you have made it clear that you are not a MAGA/Trump supporter multiple times. I don't question that, never have. I just don't think Hunter Biden and Trump belong in the same discussion, that's all.

There isn’t much daylight between him and the MAGA/Trump crowd, whatever he claims. I quite simply do not believe his claims.
