Among the four top choices, I chose 3. The one I didn't choose was the media promoting divisiveness, etc. It does to a degree, but certainly no worse than say 100 years ago. Unlike the "bubblization" of "information sources" which has devastated dialogue.

The Democrat party is unable to man up and deal with losing an election....and has a kill list of the people who won the election.

Maybe go back to the old standard of trying to make Donald Trump a 1 term President?

Prove it. Come up with evidence for your awful and just claim you cowardly poltroon.

You absolutely tuck tail the last time I challenged you about this, will you do so again and prove yourself to be a cowardly poultry tamang cowards?

People like you who scream about a war on whites - that's what you have shamefully and literally done - - tend to be nothing more than keyboard combat Warriors. What a shameful excuse of a man you are. I have little doubt you are in fact 12 or simply live in your mother's basement.
