    No, I didn't think you did;

    How would you like to live in your own country which has been occupied by foreign fascist forces who insist that, in order for you to have rights in your own country you have to swear allegiance to the fascist forces which have occupied you ?
    This is a reality.
    Do you know which country I'm talking about ?
    I'm taking about Izrael- ' the only democracy in the Middle East ' Haw, haw...........................haw.

    Not only do I NOT think that the election was stolen from Trump but I suspect that the pre-election and post-election tirades about election stealing and the consequent attack on the Capitol were cooked up by Kirsher and his MOSSAD buddies. Why ? Because as a RESULT of El Trumpo getting his fat ass kicked his ' peace plan ' is finished. Izrael will NOT be getting the territories promised and Netanyahu has been defeated. NOBODY else on earth would have benefited more from a continuation of El Trumpo's craven prosemitism.

    As ever- follow the money.

    What do the rich control under Socialism? ... got an example?

    Do you get to vote on bills and laws? I don't.

    An interesting historical tidbit ...
    In 1856 North Carolina becomes the last state to remove the restriction that prevents citizens who do not own property from voting, so now all white men who are not convicted criminals can vote.

    False accusations are the libsocprogdems bread and butter.

    Why do you think giving the non-landed the right to vote was a mistake?

    Probably true just like only scoundrels and lowlife cocksuckers lie about others. What does that have to do with me?

    Because then you have to give everyone the right to vote. Duh.

    If it was up to me, I'd only allow veterans to vote and only veterans to run for office.

    If someone is going to spill American blood, I want to know that they know WTF they are doing.

    Everyone the right? ... I suggest you inform yourself better on who got the right to vote and when.

    Just vets? ... So, a military junta.

    Depends on the bill. Laws aren't voted on. They already exist.
