She lost, because (IMO) she basically gave a big middle finger to:

  • Leftists
  • Progressives
  • Arab-Americans

And, because she decided these people were great people:

  • Dick Cheney
  • Bill Kristol
  • Georgie Bush
  • Mike Pence

You know? The war criminals and war criminal enablers.

The lesson Dems need to learn is that no matter how much they shift right, they're not winning GOP voters. All they are doing is shedding voters on the left. The whole "Vote for us because other team is bad" rings hollow when you're doing everything the other team is doing, too.

Harris was a full communist to the GOP.

I dont think it matters much.

He was literally telling them live on TV to go storm the Capitol.

That is called "prima facie": facts that speak for themselves.

And it is fully valid to use as a test in a process already codified in law: secretary of state (or similar postition) decides ballot eligibility.

We didn’t see Trump break into the White House.

We saw him tell his people to go do it, and the refuse to tell them to stop it.

That's called "leading an insurrection".

You watch them on TV doing it. And after you see them on TV doing it, they become unqualified for office, based on the due process afforded by the state attorney generals, and/or departments that manage who is and who isn't qualified and can be placed on a ballot, per due process.

You don't need a court to adjudicate being of improper age, do you? Certain items can be considered "prima facie"... Basically: You, and everyone else watched it happens is considered prima facie for processes like this.

The fifth amendment doesn't apply to impeachment, nor does it in the event of ballot qualifications. Like, the 5th amendment doesn't apply to age restrictions on holding public office.

The law says,"If you engaged in insurrection, you are ineligible to hold federal office". Just like is says,"If you are under 35, you are ineligible to hold the office of President".

They only read part of the 2A, as well, and none of the context in the rest of the document about it, either.

The whole "well regulated militia", and who and why the militia is.

If the US strikes any NATO member, it's an automatic declaration of war against the aggressor state, which in this case would be the US, under Article 5 of the NATO treaty.

If it doesn't result in an automatic declaration, that means NATO has failed, and isn't worth the paper it's written on. It's a mutual defense treaty.

Turnout is usually about 30%.

Not all do. That's an oak thing really. Pines, most stone fruits, etc, take a path of least resistance, unlike oaks which are more "I am going that way, and NOTHING will stop me!"
