"Until a few months ago, American elections were the model for the world: fair, transparent and the results implemented. That reputation was undermined tonight, when armed protestors targeted elected representatives and tried to stop the ‘sacred ritual’, as it was described by President-elect Joe Biden, of confirming the election result.
"That we are witnessing such scenes speaks to the extent that President Trump has degraded his office – and our politics. And I write this as a lifelong Republican..."~ Kate Andrews, from 'An attack on the principles that define[d] America'.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
But, but, Biden is a democrat...
ReplyDeleteHmmm... so it wasn’t undermined by the widespread evidence of election fraud, but rather by some activists entering a building. Activists that appear to have communist sympathies. The whole thing stinks of a setup.
ReplyDeleteThis writing reeks of rats jumping from a sinking ship. Tribal? Maybe but what do you do in a two party system.
ReplyDeleteYou categorically reject the party that just attempted a half-baked putsch.
DeleteObviously.
