    The current goal is a weak America. One of those two people is more on board with that agenda than the other.

    while my comment quoted one politician. There are many many more people (millions) who feel the same way in a very short period of time.

    Harris became appealing when she replaced Biden as the choice between herself and the BankruptcyChaosMasterMan.

    Nothing magically or all that surprising about it.

    As for ..... pretty much everyone in America ..... thinks all the same, think again.

    History is not on our side. Ancient Roman, Greek democracies both ended in dictatorship. It took a couple of thousand years for democracy to take hold again.

    Smart, to be dictators know how to usurp the power from a democracy by exploiting the same democratic process to start their power trip. They all used the same playbook.

    Recent examples: Chavez, Putin, Xi. Orban is not too far behind and in the rest of Europe, look at Germany and Austria.

    Our fates are sealed. :(

    @zghorner, I am not trying to give you a hard time because you are one of the good guys on ET and I always respect your honesty. We may disagree but I am respectful of your position.

    Old timer Republicans, like Dick Cheney, Liz Cheney, George Bush, Paul Ryan, Mit Romney... who are life long Republicans and have been consistent in their position are now considered RINOs and irrelevant. Trump who was once a Democrat, is now the mainstream Republican? Weird.

    Here is his party affiliation history:

    Trump registered as a Republican in Manhattan in 1987; since that time, he has changed his party affiliation five times. In 1999, he changed his party affiliation to the Independence Party of New York. In August 2001, Trump changed his party affiliation to Democratic. In September 2009, he changed his party affiliation back to the Republican Party. In December 2011, Trump changed to "no party affiliation" (independent). In April 2012, he again returned to the Republican Party.

    Also, before they were political rivals, Trump was actually one of Harris' financial donors:

    State records show that Trump donated US$6,000 ($9,107) in total to the then-California attorney-general's campaign — US$5,000 ($7,589) in September 2011 after she was first elected, and another US$1,000 ($1,518) in 2013.

    Weird? :confused:

    Take care.
