Well if it is really the time of the centrist maybe the middle group can split from rep and dem parties and start a 3rd bloc

A boy can dream.

Also think they should go to ranked choice voting instead of our current setup.

As Mooby noted, we can dream, but this system is set up for a 2 party system.

I hope so to. I imagine the social stuff never goes away. We are just one random police shooting in some random town away from picking the scab and start the bleeding all over again. Will it be tomorrow or next month? Maybe we go 3 months but certainly not a whole year without a Breonna Taylor sequel.

But legislation? Actual politics and not social identity politics? I’m hoping it’s just normal stuff. Sure we will rejoin the Paris accord, mutually reduce the tariffs with China, etc but we won’t pack the Supreme Court or make it open borders etc.

Just wish the AOCs and Gaetz of the world could stop amplifying the polar social distortion.

Social Distortion is a great term!

This video is very hard to tell, but using this photo we can line up the moment where Officer Sicknick is dragged into the crowd and beaten, eventually causing his death. If you line up the people in the first 20ish seconds of the video with the picture, you can see where they dragged Officer Sicknick down the stairs. His death lies at the hands of those responsible for inciting this coup. RIP.

Everybody knows the louder you shout the more truth you speak.

Just a rumor right now, but I have friends in LE saying this USCP officer just committed suicide. RIP.

Worried about the optics of having the Guard protecting the Capitol. Yeah, I guess the optics of a bunch of extremists overrunning the Capitol is a better look.

This guy did a breakdown of Trump's speech inciting the insurrection (which leaves no doubt in my mind Trump is responsible). He literally tells the crowd he's going to march to the Capitol with them, and then he hops in his limo and goes back to the WH.

If prosecutors follow through with this and charge people with felony murder (for those who don't know, felony murder is a charge people get tacked on with when someone dies in the commission of another felony) those people are going to be really upset unless Trump pardons them. Which leads me to my next point, Trump absolutely needs to be removed because no doubt he is probably already considering pardoning anybody charged in connection with this insurrection.
