I was thinking the same thing. Imagine now every Democrat that wants to run for President and is aware of how to commit Fraud in Presidential elections. They know how it works. And Every Republican now knows that if you want to win, you need to prepare against fraud.

It's simple survival instincts. If someone breaks into my home and beats me to a pulp, and hurts my family, and we all survive, it would be stupid and idiotic on our part to do absolutely NOTHING. Might as well just leave all the windows open at night and get rid of the doors completely.

Instead a reasonably person will prepare for the next break-in. Extra locks on all windows, strong doors, security system in place, Bright lights to shine on everything outside to see the danger coming from far away.

If Republicans don't fix the elections process and prepare for next election, then they just deserve to lose. Heaven forbid if someone with that type of attitude running the Country and sees all the signs that North Korea is getting ready to attack American and they do absolutely nothing. Then when they finally see 30 mushrooms clouds in the 30 biggest cities of the USA they start crying----NOT FAIR---NOT FAIR!.

what Biden was talking about in that video clip was the 2016 election and the Republican backed Trump campaign

Do you have the original video that you can post as evidence? It would help prove your point and many here would appreciate it. Otherwise it's just rhetoric.

Everyone I know in my area, knew Trump would lose the election. Not because the majority of US citizens would vote against him---but because we knew the election would be rigged. It was obvious from the beginning that the majority of politicians and the far left didn't like Trump. They spent hundreds of millions of taxpayer's monies on the Russian Collusion, the FBI tried to get him out, the House tried to impeach him, the media smeared him every day, Hollywood hated him, High tech like social media hated him------I'm actually surprise he lasted 4 years. Even Biden admitted that the biggest organized fraud ever in election history would make sure he was President. That's why he stayed in the basement and didn't worry about it, he knew he was going to be elected. And the Department of justice did nothing.

Politics and Hope

so there are a lot of atheists on here.

my question: where does your hope come from?

that the right people will be put in political positions and will eventually form a utopian society that will meet all needs and we will have equality for all?.

I have a few atheists in my family that are heavily into politics and one of them is a socialist and wondered if the best she could look forward to is barely being able to fight off the Nazis and the other one talks almost daily about wanting to die because of the state of the world and where we are with accepting everyone as equal.

This is the problem when someone takes a stand of certainty on topics that one can’t possibly be certain of.

Just to let you know, I am neither Atheist nor a Theist nor an Agnostic.

I read a quote by Voltaire when I was about 17 years old that made a lot of sense.

“Uncertainty Is an Uncomfortable Position. But Certainty Is an Absurd One.”

We notice that there were basically three lines of thought at the time. (Atheist, Agnostic and Theist) of which I subscribe to none.

Being raised in a JW family, I already didn’t believe in talking snakes, magical fruit, and invisible beings that materialized just to terrorize beautiful women.

As far as Atheism is concern, I personally felt and still do, that “we know to little to commit to a position of strict Atheism, --where we act as though we got it all figured out.” And at the same time, “we know to much to commit to a particular religion.”

While the unknown may cause us discomfort, if we’re so certain about something, that we never question anything,---- we are bound to run into problems sooner or later. That’s the reason many Jehovah Witnesses lose it when they find out they were in a religious cult, in a matter of speaking.

On the other hand, the benefits of uncertainty is that it keeps you sharp because you are always asking questions. And by asking questions, it allows for the sorts of surprises that can make life interesting. “Knowing the outcome or answer—or believing you do—might seem nice, but it's ultimately not in your best interest.

You can never be sure of anything. (Just talk to a former Jehovah Witness who woke up after 50 Years) That may seem frightening, but it can actually be a great source of excitement and discovery.”

I consider myself a Possibilian which allows me to have multiple possibilities of where we came from what our purpose is and where are we headed. And at the same time this stand allows me to accept new narratives as they are revealed by Science or other means. This trend started a little over 10 years ago. It came about as a result of getting tired of all the debates between the two schools of thought,---atheist and theist.

And for us that have adopted this view, we never feel a need to commit suicide because life is amazing and there is so much to learn.

Here is a better explanation.

How will the rest of the World be affected if America is run by far-left Socialist?

by pistolpete in

america was a power not to be reckoned with.

but lately it seems to be the laughing stock of the world.

what other countries are seeing on the news is riots, calls to de-fund the police, breakdown of society, and elections being over taken with fraud.

pistolpete

I don't think he is as far left as AOC. And as of now, there seems to be some infighting between the far left democrats and the moderate democrats.

Thanks for that video. Considering all the other nations and their own personal agenda, I sometimes wonder how we've made it this far without another world war. I hope it stays like this until after I'm long gone. Don't want to see a world war----ever------except on fictional tv😁

So, it WAS all for nothing after all!

Not at all. Life is a gift to be treasured. If I live only until I hit forty, was it for nothing at all? Of course not. I enjoyed sunsets, the ocean, endless meals, pets, my work is enjoyable, I fell in love with a wonderful lady, children, wonderful parents, and I will attest-----it was not for nothing.

I’m not sure if you were a jw, but the ones I know were fed an unrealistic promise of living forever in a paradise earth petting pandas. That unrealistic promise can make life today meaningless. That’s why many jws stop living for today and give up everything, because they have been promised everlasting life by a group of men that most have never personally met. And that's why when many find out they didn't have the truth, they have a hard time coping with life today.

I think our lives are intricately woven together playing out an epic story of a redeeming Savior saving people who are worthless for an ultimate crescendo of God, man, and creation becoming one.

I have no problem with people believing whatever they want to believe to make the inevitable a lot less painful.

For me I don’t see why an omnipotent, omniscient, and benevolent God wasn’t able to create a planet that didn’t have to be conquered, and a race of humans that didn’t need salvation.

If I was that God, and created children, I wouldn’t put them through all that suffering----unless I was malevolent, and enjoyed seeing contests like the gladiatorial fights of Rome.

And I wouldn’t put them on a planet that was deliberately designed with some animals destine to be prey and others designed to be predators.

World powers fall. Is it time for the USA to fall????

This video is making the rounds. This woman is from Yugoslavia and has been seeing with interest what has been happening in America, because it is exactly what happened in Yugoslavia. She is warning Americans that America is changing right before our eyes -----and we can't see it..
