The same system that counted ballots also counted lives lost

@Dulsinea, you just advanced to level 4!

I remember "mostly peaceful protests in front of burning buildings."

pergaps you haven't been paying attention...i said earlier, to you...the very same thing, the summer riots went on too long...those riots destroyed property, monetary value.. this was an attack on democracy...not comparable.

Yup

R.I.P two good Wendy’s taken from us too soon.

The appearance, they had a fund set up by democrats to bail them out.

They had support from governors who let them create autonomous zones.

They had police stand down.

Maga's are actually trying justify today by comparing it to the summer riots. lol

Congress reminding us how important they are after all the pork stuffing bills they just produced....

Gag.

Yes, that does not mean mainstream support, it means select powerful and rich people support

I think most people were like, “f that I’m staying inside”

between 2015-2017....what does that have to do with 2020?

Not trying to justify anything, it's terrible and stupid that some people took it upon themselves to make a peaceful protest into something else, just as happened during the summer riots.

Idk, I think there are a lot of parallels and double standards. Violence and protests, and storming of capitol buildings during the summer was confined...

They are comparable.

They both are riots by people who felt their government failed them.

They have been demanding full audits, asking for courts to not dismiss cases and hear them, asking for election transparency and it has fallen of deaf ears.

Wanting a fair election is not an attack in democracy.

True.

The appearance of unequal justice is what is making many people stand up and protest who normally never would. The fact that it appears that if you are on the left the law does not apply in the same way.

This was orchestrated by the president of the USA based on false pretense.

i don't remember them storming the capitol building during the summer?

No. It’s not his fault they entered the Capitol Building

That makes no sense, he asked people to peacefully assemble not to riot.

I didn’t know that some violence was okay based solely on who may have condoned it.

who told them to go ther all pumped up asking them to "demand asnwers"

@SANCTIONED He called for peaceful assembly and protest.

okay...did you pay attention to what he was telling them to go ther...

no violence is okay.

The new thing is when someone asserts something and another person brings up a similar instance when the other side partook in that same behavior it gets that “that’s just whataboutism” response.

But that’s a cop out because we evaluate situations and there merit by looking at equivalent scenarios and how they were received, so it’s not whataboutism, it’s comparing two instances of a similar scenario.

Colorado got wailed on about 8 times

Colorado capitol*

Yes I would have gone myself but I had prior obligations.

by telling them he "loves them" go home and Ivanka Trump tweeting "patriots are in the building" come on...

That obviously doesn’t mean to break into the Capitol and it’s unreasonable to blame him for that.

I never heard anything about competing statutes? I agree that the PA legislature gave some power to Boockvar, but when did they give her the power to make temporary accommodations under extreme circumstances? If it's true, I still don't like what happened, but my blame shifts from the PA SC to the PA legislature. And that would add to the blame that I already have against them for passing the act in the first place. Don't get me wrong-I'm okay with mail in voting And back in Oct 2019. no one thought mail in voting would be a wide spread phenomenon. Trying to set it up in less than six months-it's not going to be good.

What-about-ism is the latest version of “shut up”.

Phoenix, Seattle, there are like 10 capitol buildings that were stormed and trashed this summer

what do you think die hard supporters who want "answers" would do when they go to capitol hill, ask for an appointment ?

@SANCTIONED where have you been if you don’t know about this lol

Yeah, no where did he say break in.

i'm right here...and i've watched it all day unfold, maga's storming the capitol demanding answers and calling it election fraud...
