At this point, Black Americans are becoming more likely to say "a plague on both your houses" than to push for either Democrats or Republicans.

    I think being alarmed is pretty rational at this point. I feel you may not be paying attention to recent events.

    The GOP intends to coup. They’re not actually being quiet about it. If they get Congress, The Supreme Court, and the Presidency, they get the country.

      I haven’t heard anything about subverting democracy, coup, or anything like that except from alarmists who have something to gain from peddling that brand of fear. Any time someone tries to convince you of something by using fear as a motivator, you should wonder what they have to gain by it.

          I don’t watch Fox News or any other populist news channels. All they do is peddle fear of one brand or another. I’m basing my comments mostly on having watched the same type of drama and rhetoric every election cycle. That and seeing/hearing what people actually say and not immediately accepting what news outlets or other political demagogues say they said.

              Ok well if you are right then I will track you down to apologize, but if I’m right, then you need to admit that you were being alarmist and partisan. Deal?

                Alarmist, yes. Partisan no—But you have a deal. I’ll bookmark your comment. Hopefully Trump doesn’t win and neither of us have to apologize for anything!
