Well we do too Wiseacre, it's called absentee balloting, but the reason the Democrats don't want to use it is that most states require witnesses or notarization and a valid ID to set it up. Instead they want to mail millions of ballots out without any verification of who is returning them.

I find it strangely amusing that the old Vietnam era mantra of "Love it, or leave it" now applies to the the conservatives. Get on board with public consensus, or leave. We are a democratic republic and we must live with it whether we like it, or not. I'm not sure if I like it, in many cases I don't, but it is my country and it is my form of government, and I will live by it.
Isn't that what it stands for? Of the people, by the people, and for the people? Well?

That ansered all these rhetorical question (meaning not you but Trump people trying to reduce the number of opposing voters). Their arguments are as ostensible as that for gerrymandering. When it is about stealing the vote, anything goes, and no foul excuse is too foul as if it would not be given.

"People who are still serving in this administration have said to me: Just wait until the second term! There will be no holds barred,m it will be Shock and Awe. We will do what we want!" Didn't I said something similiar repeatedly? Want more? Here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC03...JyiStTnqasADVg . .

Trump even admits he is undermining USPS to make it harder to vote by mail. The USPS has longstanding financial woes, the limited resources are stretched thinner during the pandemic. Up jumps Trump and threatens to dismantle the agency and privatize it. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...ection-funding https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article...ection-funding https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-53772526 https://apnews.com/14a2ceda724623604cc8d8e5ab9890ed Privatizing even might be a good idea, but not now and not in this situation. Trump surely wants to pay the debt with public money (read: taxes), then sell it to some private company for a symbolic dollar. Socialize losses, privatize wins. And win the election via the side-effect.

Trump says a lot of stupid things. Nancy Pelosi says a lot of stupid things. People in the media say a lot of stupid things. President Trump is not the God/King/Dictator that so many on the left imagine him to be. He is restrained by Congress, the Constitution and the Courts. Every single ruling by the courts that has gone against the Trump administration has been obeyed. It doesn't matter what Trump says. It doesn't matter what he says he can do or even what he thinks he can do. It matters what he can do. Internet is better than the Guardian or Fox News.

How accurate would it be to say that Democrats and Republicans view each other as America’s true enemy these days? Because as an outsider, it honestly looks like both sides are more focused on each other than, say, the militarist and extremely anti-American nations of communist North Korea and Islamist Iran.

Although I do not view Trump as Republican... he is not a conservative by any means and I guess most Republican share this view although they might not admit it, especially those who need him currently. I guess those veterans/group express it quite well: . Although much more Reps. would need to rise up to make a change now IMHO. Before they do not get rid of Trump , they will not manage to go back to the roots of Ronald Reagan and find their soul again...
