Not gonna happen on either end.

Here's the basic conundrum for people. It's Joe Biden voters that are tearing up cities, doing the violent crime, threatening the suburbs, etc.

OK. We all understand how mob threats work.....do or pay this, and we can make your problems go away. Pay protection money so something bad doesn't happen to you.

Here's the issue. Say we vote not just for Biden, but also for Dem. district attorneys, mayors, police chiefs, sheriffs, etc. That's a big risk.

What if we do what you want, vote your people in so you make the violence stop....and it doesn't stop? What if our trust is betrayed? We're then screwed, just like the couple in St. Louis. Your mobs attack the suburbs, the police are ordered to stand down and do nothing, and then anyone who dares to defend their family, home, or business gets arrested and prosecuted for standing up to the mob violence.

What you are asking....forget about people's views on how America should be run, political ideology, etc. It's frightening. You're asking us to vote for folks who want to neuter and defund the police, actively prosecute people who take self defense into their own hands, take away guns and all with the promise that in return, you'll get the mob violence to stop.

What if the mob doesn't stop? What if they come to my neighborhood? Get burned out and looted or go to jail trying to stop it?

What guarantee can you give us that you'll stop the rioting if we vote for Biden? What recourse do we have if that that doesn't happen?


Edit: The suburb that includes Houston went blue for the first time in a long time last go round. They also had the first waves of violence the city has seen in over 4 decades. They HAVE one of those Soros backed activist D.A.'s we've heard about. And what has she done? Well, at the several Biden rally/riots they have held, there were multiple people arrested. The D.A. dropped the charges for all of those people. So now people know, if you want to destroy stuff, or loot....the D.A. has their back.

My suburban county is still run by law and order conservatives at all levels, so we had no violence, because our county isn't a safe space for rioters. What happens if we vote in social justice activists like the Harris County D.A.? Our county becomes a potential target, too.

Not to mention he's a lying POS.

Trump says children are 'almost immune' to COVID-19. Doctors say that's false.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-say...123542125.html


The joint has been turned into a complete shithole .
Worse than any swamp that I've ever seen..
Except this place.
Please tell us where you'd like to move. I have a truck, so if it's Canada or Mexico, I can help escort you the **** OUT and haul some furniture.

I'd be interested in your list of Presidents that never told a lie in your lifetime. Good luck. In addition, evaluate the impact of the lies. Trump lying about Stormy is not the same as pallets of cash and Benghazi lies, for example.

Ignore the people's views?
Let's talk after the election.
Then we'll see who's views are of the majority.

There are more prisoners than guards, should we ask them how the prison should be run?

cult follower: "our candidate puts his hands all over children and women, seems to be going senile, and is a career politician. Every time I mention him... others just roll their eyes. What can I do ???"

cult leader: "stop talking about our candidate. Instead slam our opponent every chance you get."

Way to avoid the overall question. Say we all agree that we are willing to vote for your people, in exchange for the explicit promise of stopping the violence.

What guarantee do we have you'll actually stop the violence? What is our recourse if you don't stop it?

Trump can't stop it.

He claims that he will, but still sits on his fk'n hands.
Really ? Guarantees?
Stop those scum, just don't talk about it.
It's embarrassing to our country.
You should be appalled, but you seem to enjoy it, claiming that it's BLM.
it's scum thugs that popo refuses to move on .
Cops just stand there collecting a pay check.
Yes. Biden would stop it, however, it wouldn't have happened in the first place.
There. No avoidance.
