Mike Luckovich for December 30, 2021

That would be good. Unfortunately, approximately 40% of the voters are opposed to that last one. At least, according to the way they vote.

#5. Escape to a civilized country.

Good luck with that.

None if those will happen

“Democracy is not just the right to vote, it is the right to live in dignity.” —Naomi Klein (1970- ) Canadian writer and filmmaker

The last one won’t happen if the republigoons and their sycophants / apologists( some of which post in these threads ) have their way!

That last one is difficult in the face of those that would overturn a democracy to keep a Cult Leader in charge.

Out of all of them, I’m hoping Remain a Democracy is the one that she is able to keep.

Some Americans might want to learn what a Democracy is, first. About 40% of us seem really confused.

One hopes that last is the one that is true.

Where there’s a yin, there’s a yang.

Not if the Qpublicans have their way…

Unfortunately, the 40% are more motivated to vote than the 60%. I don’t know if anyone knows how to motivate more of the 60% to cast ballots.

Democracy is in danger with Dementia Joe at the helm! Let’s go, Brandon!

For everyone trying to understand that curious phrase Opspecial ends his sad little commentaries with, have a look at the following to gain some insight (thanks to Drew Sheneman for the enlightenment) https://imgur.com/gallery/e3iL6ka

Hopefully resolutions which will actually be followed.

“Democracy is in danger with Dementia Joe at the Helm.” Democracy was bloodily assaulted by Traitorous Trump (and his followers). /s

I guess the know it all loony left are not aware that this country was founded as a democratic REPUBLIC. It is NOT a democracy as you might think. Big word is REPUBLIC!!!

The Dems are voting for socialism but they aren`t smart enough to know it. The Dems are relying on the stupidity of the American voters.

Interesting that so many commenters are opposed to Republicans voting for their best interest. Somehow, they believe it is a democracy if there is only one party.

Let go, TROLL

Replace “remain” with “become”.

and vote Democrat if you want to retain this democracy.

Just one word for Lady Liberty…Priorities.

Let’s make #4 the lead into what has to be done. The others are to keep us in mental and physical shape and being able to fight the traitors and their barbarian GULLible birdies.

a bad omen on the last is when the democratic party hijacks a nomination to railroad probably the most popular candidate . . Bernie

I guess that’s that, then. Nobody keeps their resolutions, so this experiment in representative democracy is going to come to an end next year.

[insincere apologies for re-posting my poem, but it IS the first anniversary of the attempted coup coming up soon…..]

A Poem in Which Donald Trump Asks a Question—And Is Answered

“Can I join your Traitors Club?”

“Sure, come on in, you Flab O’ Flub!

Though latest’s leastest, I’ll be bound

Come right ahead, I’ll show you ’round

Now, over there is Benedict

And over here is Tricky Dick

At at that booth sits John Wilkes Booth

(He found non-treasoning uncouth)

The Rosenbergs, McCarthy, Cohn

(Your ass, I know, he soon will own)

And Neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klan

And every racist also-ran

We let in others, too, like Quisling

(That’s him, not steaks, that you smell sizzling)

And also Casca, Cassius, Brutus

And, worst of all, our Flaming Judas!

So come on in, though air’s unwell

But what did you expect, in Hell?"

@ the laughably stupid Kyle Tingle, above:

You know, if you live long enough, there is an outside chance that your insanity can be cured…….How the HELL do you not know that the attempted coup was planned ahead of time? Traitor Trump’s handlers knew he was going to lose the election, in large part because of his legendary botch of Covid. And, because Trump is both extremely stupid and delusional, he thought that the preventing of the pro forma certification of the results of the election (which was, as all intelligent people know and all honest people admit, free, fair, honest, and legitimate) would somehow or other keep him in office even after losing the election. (The disgraced former general, Michael Flynn, even advocated declaring martial law. And if the mob—incited by the head traitor, one Donald John Trump—had succeeded in murdering Mike Pence, martial law might well have been declared.) We kept our democracy but it was at far greater risk than most people even realize.

I think that we need to talk more about Constitutional Democracy, where, regardless of the size of the majority, minorities(cultural, ethnic, religious, political, stupid) are protected by the Bill of Rights. “Congress shall make no law…” all the way to “…or to the people.”

I’d settle for remaining a republic, which is what the US actually is. I know, I know, the word “democracy” has taken on a larger meaning, so please don’t yell at me. :-)

Mike… “Democracy” depends of where you live

In Wisconsin, More people voted for Democratic candidates than republican but the gerrymandered result is 64 republican districts. vs 38 Republican districts.

Stalin was right. People that vote have no power People that Count the votes have all the power.

Congratulations Republicans, You are Stalinists

Well done Mike ♥ Happy New Year!

Since we see “Let’s Go, Brandon!” here far too often, here’s a link to an article by someone who refers to the phrase as “the siren song of hateful people.”

https://johnpavlovitz.com/2021/12/27/letsgobrandon-is-the-siren-song-of-hateful-people/

Last year the “Trump Patriots” broke all of those new year’s resolutions by the 6th day…

We have a chance as long as the right-wing populists keep eschewing vaccines………………….RWPs?:
