    Yeah, that's not the point, although mandated voting seems more repressive to me.

    This is where I'm at. Checking the news every day to see how soon I can get my 11-year old vaccinated, and after that process is finished, so am I.

    Seriously? Source/Link, other than your opinion? I would submit that Donald Trump's Twitter account alone would go a long way toward making the scales balance, given the number of people his tweets reached and the damage they did to society. Huge numbers of right wing posters migrated to Gab, Gettr, Parler and the like, which did a lot to alter the balance, but that was a voluntary exile of the like minded extreme.

    So I guess that your proposition is true of the current Twitter numbers to that extent, but it's like saying that SJ is a liberal site... if that's true, it's because half the board took their ball and went home.

    It was the immunosuppression that resulted from cancer that allowed the coof to get him.

    I love it when Alma does the bare minimum to acknowledge the horror show on the right before delving into what he really wants to discuss: How the left is imposing its radical agenda on America.

    I've been done with the "right" for awhile. What it is now - unbound, shallow, rapacious, anarchic, doomed as it is overtaken by lemon brains who don't have a enlightened pot to piss in - was there to see, frankly, a very long time ago. I think some Republicans know what they've done but not nearly enough of them do; they've created a party so full of grievance and spite that it's lighting itself on fire.

    I also don't think this board is low on insights into the foibles of the right. It's a corner well-covered by the people here.

    Plenty of them do. Supreme Court justices and endorsing bigotry are more important than their country.

    I am reading a biography of 19th-century Republican leader Thaddeus Stevens (the guy played by Tommy Lee Jones in the Lincoln movie). The Republican agenda for the 1860 election was support of major spending on infrastructure, protection of immigrants rights, and a rebuke of nativism. We'd be far better off with the Republican party of 160 years ago than the a**holes we have now.

    Half the board? Really?

    At its peak this board was never more than 5-10% conservative.
