If it involves violence I am opposed to it.

... person one vote and have told us this via actions in the last 20 years

Our form of government has been called a number of terms — representative democracy, constitutional republic, federal republic.

That aside my main concern in my post above was a suggestion of violence toward Republicans. I really don’t want to see hatred lead to attacks against innocent people and that goes for all sides.

If we disagree with Republicans the first approach should be the ballot box. If we fail there perhaps we should examine our approach to see why and where we went wrong. Any form of violence should be the absolute last resort used only to resist a dictatorial government that is totally unresponsive to the wishes of its citizens.

internment camps?

Of course we should try our best to make the ballot box our first and best solution... But if we win at the ballot box, but they refuse to accept it, what is your proposal?

If there is violence, it will be started by them. And once the first shot is fired, all bets are off. You can sit on the sidelines and watch. I hope YOU can enjoy the camps. The rest of us may have a hard time with that.

camps. Sorry.

Any attempt to do that would lead to an armed uprising and the people in charge would be removed from power. I realize that many people here in the Democratic Party would love to see civilian owned firearms banned and confiscated but that might prove short sighted in the end.

I am not sure how Trump supporters will react if he loses. Obviously they will be upset but I really don’t see them losing their sanity. Most will simply realize that Trump was his own worst enemy and his obnoxious attitude, his enormous ego and his unpresidential behavior is what cost him the election.

I guess I have more faith in the citizens of our nation than you. We squabble a lot but we end up resolving our differences by utilizing our system of government to create change. Progress is often slow but it happens. This nation is much better today than when I was growing up in the 1950s and 60s.

It's not like a third of the country is going to magically start being good people.

Think of all the times Democrats won the presidency. Start with Barack Obama and work backward.

That's not how they did it.

#1, I don't think they can be destroyed. They have too much power and money.

But Booker made a bet that a message of reconciliation and kindness would appeal to Dem voters who are in deep despair. He was wrong, but I wish he was right.

Sure, some Obama-to-Trump voters need to hear a message of forgiveness for their utter fucking gullible, idiotic vote, but the primary voters need some red meat.

I can't.
