In bestowing Ken Burns with its 2024 Liberty Medal, the National Constitution Center called him “America’s history teacher,” and he spoke to Ali Velshi about the “echoes” and “rhymes” between the current political moment and other periods in America’s history. “We’re dealt a certain hand of cards right now which we have to respond to,” he says. Burns also remarks on how the Republican Party has “morphed” into an “incredibly dangerous” group that needs to be reformed. “It’s going to be difficult for the Republican Party to figure out a way to escape the specific gravity of the darkness that engulfs it.”

Trump is the opiate of all opiates. A country addiction to opiates will end in destruction. I also remember him sitting in another photo at the Bohemian Grove, with Clarence Thomas and David Koch. The photo was taken at the same event as the now famous photograph, or painting, with Thomas Clarence and Harland Crow.

@Roy-ij1wq Час назад

The comment that all of our founders had "feet of clay" in certain regards is also true of the founders of the Republican Party. While abolitionists were a significant number, a majority of the founders were anti-States Rights when it came to leaving the spread of slavery up to newly formed States north of the Mason - Dixon line. My ancestors were "under the oaks" at Jackson, Michigan in July, 1854 and the platform that was adopted did not call for the abolition of slavery but merely the spread. And unlike the meeting that took place on March 20, 1854, there is an excellent historical record that was created by local newspaper editor Charles V. DeLand that is included in his History of Jackson County, Michigan. Lincoln didn't have the political capital for emancipation until after the Battle of Antietam and then only as a matter of military necessity in the States still in rebellion. What is striking about DeLand's account is the knowledge our ancestors had regarding both past and present political decisions. Of particular note is their knowledge of the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 that prohibited the expansion of slavery in the territories two years before the constitution was ratified.

This is a time the country is going to have to stop spending so much or at least slow down. It's not a time when you raise taxes and hope you gain prosperity

And what be said about harris supporters? They're manic and unhinged. They try to attack people for wearing pro Trump or anti harris shirts and hats. It's all on video and here on YT, look it up

Can't Georgia also unofficially do a simultaneous computer count , for when the hand-count is inevitably challenged?

According to what I've read, they are actually only talking about physically counting the number of ballots received. Not in manually tallying the choices on those ballots. Tallying the vote will still be processed in the usual way - machine counting.

Please don't dismiss the possibility of the "Direct Popular Vote" and the end of the Electoral college. The League of Women Voters, a non-partisan organization, has been advocating for this since the 1970s. The more it is mentioned, discussed, featured, the more likely that it can seen as possible. It is very pessimistic to dismiss this as not being remotely possible. We must imagine what is possible.

A new, conservative caucus will come out of the Democratic party and become the new conservative party. It'll be interesting to see what they decide to call themselves.

Education is key to democracy working. So I’m hoping this probable Harris win will prioritize public education and make university free for everyone. Put someone really brilliant in charge of restructuring it. Republican party exposes (and literally demonstrates in Congress)the dire societal results of NOT doing so.

Not all Republicans fall under the same banner, as is evident in today's U.S. politics. Maybe this is part of the problem in western politics today. People are feeling like they have to pick one side across the board. I believe that is a mistake. If one party gets elected then why should a member of another party be dismissed from being given a position in the winning party's government if they are qualified to run a specific position. That would tear down the unilateral power of government and show that two parties can work together for a non partisan, but social common benefit.
