Wouldn't a centrist win every election?

In theory a Centrist would win every time. In reality, people don't vote that way.

There's plenty of evidence of fraud there's just not enough to get the proper authorities to actually look. It also doesn't help when the "authorities" are in on it...

Anyone who thinks Joe Biden got 81 million actual votes is absolutely delusional.

The southern colonies would not have agreed to be part of a country if they thought slavery was going to end or that Black people were going to be treated as equals in the future. We're just pulling things out of our @sses now? You have no idea what the southern colonies would have or wouldn't have agreed to. George Washington: “I never mean . . . to possess another slave by purchase; it being among my first wishes to see some plan adopted by which slavery in this Country may be abolished.” Thomas Jefferson: "I can say, with conscious truth, that there is not a man on earth who would sacrifice more than I would to relieve us from this heavy reproach, in any practicable way." It is idiotic to think people living in that time would just wake up one day and decide to destroy their own economy over night.He could not imagine free Black and white people coexisting together as equals under one government. OMG! He thought what the majority of people in his own time thought!The Supreme Court ruled in Dred Scott that the US Constitution wasn't written to provide citizenship to to people of African descent, no matter if they were enslaved or free. Chief Justice Roger Taney wrote:

people of African descent are not included, and were not intended to be included, under the word 'citizens' in the Constitution, and can therefore claim none of the rights and privileges which that instrument provides for and secures to citizens of the United States.

That's one racist's opinion. If the founders thought like he did they would have written it that way. They did not.

We had a whole war about this.

And the Democrats fought for slavery.

The Civil Rights Act outlawed discrimination based on sex and race. In 1940, Black wages in American were less than half those of white people. Thirty years after the Civil Rights Act, that had risen to 75%. Still not perfect, but a big improvement.

Democrats are masters at taking an idea everyone can agree with and turning it into a disaster.

You idiots are still whining about an imaginary wage gap between the sexes in 2022...

You talk about Black people as if they support the Democratic Party because they're so stupid and tricked by government handouts. A basic tenant of the Democratic Party since the FDR administration has been one to use government to improve the lives of its citizens. And because Black people have had so much wealth taken from them and hardship placed on them since the founding of this country, the idea of using the government to improve the lives of everyone is an appealing one.

Blacks started voting Democrat under FDR specifically because they wanted to get in on the free stuff gravy train the Democrats were offering.

All Democrats are stupid and it has nothing to do with race.

The government is awful at everything it does. If you're relying on the government to improve your life you're screwed.

Maybe. But was the country a better place in 1975 than in 1875? Did it improve?

Not because of anything the government did.

They did not envision so many representatives and Senators reporting to such a small number of citizens. If half of the Senate answers to 10% of the population are you ok with that?

You really need to google what a "republic" is. The Senate is one branch of the government. The Senate can't do anything on it's own. You don't seem to have even a 4th grade understanding of the country works.

It's always the dumb ones who are convinced they're smart.

Is there a mirror in your trailer?

Southern Democrats were both States Rights and for slavery. This continued after the war, through Reconstruction and beyond. The official name of the Dixiecrats was the "States' Rights Democratic Party."

You do realize that the majority of republicans always lived outside of the south right?

I'd say corporatist more than "pro-business."

Well bear in mind you're completely ignorant.

You know the Communists ran their own candidates against Roosevelt every time? Do most people end up better off financially with a communist at the helm of the country? Virtually every American was better off in 1945 than they were in 1932.

That was hyperbole he wasn't literally a communist but he was the closest we'd ever had until recently. World War 2 and the destruction of every industrialized nation on the planet other than the USA made the country better off in 1945. It had very little to do with anything FDR did.

I trust Black people to make informed decisions for themselves.

No you don't black people want more cops and voter ID. Democrats just want power and they will exploit anyone they can to get it.

Thanks for confirming that there is no evidence of fraud. This laws are based on an assumption that there MIGHT be extensive fraud and you are assuming it is tilted democrat. This is based on... nothing: the very few instances of fraud discovered were pretty evenly distributed and, if anything, slightly tilting Republican.

So the well-documented issue that there are hundreds of thousand to millions of people that find it difficult to get an ID is not a very real problem; but the totally hypothetical voter fraud, based on no evidence, is a real problem. I get it.

Agreed, "Delusional" is the correct work to describe this psychosis.

John McCain was a classic moderate. Both of AZ's current senators are technically democrats, but are very moderate and often break with the party..

"Moderate" is not the imaginary position separating two halves of the same turd. The turd is continuous.

McCain was a warmonger and general all-around sleazeball. A play-both-sideser, acting out a role for his own gain. Don't forget rich these creatures get.

Let me get this straight. You don't agree with everything McCain did, therefore he isn't a moderate?

Republicans are much closer to the center of white men than democrats. Unfortunately for them, women and non-white also vote.
