The presidency was designed to be an office that required internal restraint, selfless sacrifice, and "buy in" regarding the ideals upon which the Republic was founded. Trump is the anti-thesis of that. Hence the many fact-based threads in this forum on his corruption, abuse of power, and incompetence.

"People", what an utterly useless statement.  Some "people" want Biden, some "people" want Trump.

You keep repeating the same points as if endless repetition lends your point extra validity.  I understand your position, it is absolutist and brooks no dissent.  You state your position as an objective truth allowing no counter argument.  No need to respond further, you've made your point clear and I've made my opposition to it equally clear.  Thank you and enjoy your weekend.   

Questioning or refuting a bad counterargument is not the same as "allowing no counter argument." 

"Absolutists" who "brook no dissent" do not ask their opponents to clarify and offer more evidence for, or restate their points. And conversely, they don't opt out of dialogue when asked for evidence or to further explain their reasoning, or to demonstrate an understanding of their opponent's argument.

Avoiding such ordinary challenges of civil debate--that's what absolutists do who brook no dissent. They state their conclusions, and if they're feeling generous they may restate them once more, but then that's that. 

Your claims that Trumpism is dependent only on Trump's "presence" and that the Dem party poses a radical far left danger greater than four more years of Trump are at this point unsupportable. Their weakness has been laid out step by step, unanswered, in posts #45-46. Claiming I've made my point and you've made yours doesn't make this a "tie."
