Facts Our Party Will Not Officially Admit, That It Must

158. I find it hard to believe that so many DUers are taking this seriously. Firstly,

what the OP presents is largely opinion and if any of his/her opinions are backed by a single authority, i.e., and expert in constitutional law like Tribe, I can't find that.

confirmation bias- believing what you want to believe- is a powerful thing. It's also an enemy of critical thinking.

I suppose I'll be called a bush lover or a bush defender for challenging the nonsense in the op, but oh well.

The bush presidency was horrible. It was not a dictatorship.

yes, it set a for shit precedent, but not for the reasons enumerated. It set a for shit precedent for both parties and as has been pointed out, President Obama has, alas, elaborated on that precedent.

The militarization of police forces increased under Bushco. It didn't start there. It didn't end there.

The U.S. media is a corporate media looking out for corporate interests, but there was certainly criticism of bush- not enough, but to state as a fact that the media actively suppressed "nearly all criticism" of bushco, is not factual- not to mention the huge number of people who don't vote for all kinds of reasons.

It sure as shit is not a fact that bush's SCOTUS appointments are illegitimate. I can't stand the fuckers, but the U.S.
Senate confirmed them.

No, the republican majority is not illegitimate. You can live in silly lala land to your heart's content and declaim that until the sky turns lime green, but that ain't reality.

what a heap of nonsense.



Our elections are indeed problematical and gerrymandering is a huge problem. That said, anyone who thinks dems will win in Utah or any number of red states, is refusing to acknowledge the reality of a large number of voters who align themselves with republicans, who align themselves with bigotry, who vote against their economic interests.
