re: The Left is making such a HUGE mistake here. Most just want to blow off steam online.

So the swing state of Georgia with a Republican legislature and governor that passed legislation that got 97% of eligible minorities registered to vote was against minority voting?

So you admit the election in Georgia was fair!!!

inciting violence and organizing a take over of the US Capitol are protected rights.

Agreed, look at the left. ANTIFA, CHAZ, the Summer of BLM riots, all the times they themselves stormed the Capitol.

They were allowed to do it, clearly that's granting permission for others to as well.

This is news to me. You mind sharing any time that Biden, Kamala, AOC or Pelosi condemned Antifa? Must’ve missed that one.

On June 2, in a speech in Philadelphia, recorded by ABC News, Biden said there is "no place for violence, no place for looting or destroying property or burning churches or destroying businesses."

"We need to distinguish between legitimate peaceful protest and opportunistic violent destruction," he said.

On July 28, in a speech in Wilmington, Delaware, he echoed that sentiment, per C-SPAN.

“Peaceful protesters should be protected – but arsonists and anarchists should be prosecuted – and local law enforcement can do that," he said.

On Aug. 31, after a man was fatally shot in Portland, Oregon, Biden released a statement on his campaign website with another condemnation of protest-related violence: "The deadly violence we saw overnight in Portland is unacceptable," he said. "Shooting in the streets of a great American city is unacceptable. I condemn this violence unequivocally. I condemn violence of every kind by anyone, whether on the left or the right. And I challenge Donald Trump to do the same."

You didn't behold me turning a blind eye to them, because while I support the cause, the protests were a mistake precisely because they gave cover to other groups - on both the far left and the far right - who just wanted to foment violence.

Great. Since you've been a member here since 2018, surely you can link a few posts from this past summer where you expressed your concern at the riots which took place this summer. It's always nice to support someone who is being intellectual honest and can back up their assertions with evidence.

We did have months of it going on, so there would have been ample time for you to voice your concern here. I'd love to read a few, thanks.

Not one time did he mention Antifa by name there...

Guys - because Trump said it once, doesn’t make it real... There are hundreds of examples of democratic lawmakers denouncing and condemning antfa...

Find one politician on the left that condemned antifa during their violent actions.

"Do you condemn Antifa?" reporter Barbara Barr asked Biden.

"Yes, I do, violence no matter who it is," he replied.

The Trump campaign has called the former vice president out for not mentioning the anarchist group by name. Biden campaign senior adviser Symone Sanders responded to those accusations during an appearance on "Fox News Sunday" this week.

"The vice president has been very clear: he condemns all forms of violence," Sanders said. "And, frankly, what you heard him say in the speech that he gave last week was: it doesn't matter what political party you belong to -- it doesn’t matter what your political beliefs are. Violence is wrong. And in the moment he is calling for calm."

Local and national lawmakers have released statements condemning militant anti-fascist group Antifa following violence at a Berkeley protest last week.

The condemnation comes after skirmishes broke out Sunday during an anti-Marxist rally and a subsequent counter-protest against racism. Those who repudiated the violence include Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Adam Schiff, and others.

"Our democracy has no room for inciting violence or endangering the public, no matter the ideology of those who commit such acts," Pelosi said in what was arguably the strongest disavowal of the group from a Democrat. "The violent actions of people calling themselves Antifa in Berkeley this weekend deserve unequivocal condemnation, and the perpetrators should be arrested and prosecuted."

Interesting. Police shooting and killing unarmed protestors now somehow equals a 9/11. You sound like totally deranged lunatic. Let me ask you something, Trump's approval rating is higher after the D.C. rally than it was before it, so apparently tens of millions of people disagree with you. How do you plan to enforce this little plan of yours?

---

It's not my plan and I'm not going to enforce it.

Trump is more popular according to who? Rasmussen? Who always have results way to the right of every other poll taking organization?

FIVETHIRTYEIGHT: Aggregate polls - How popular is Donald Trump

His popularity is dipping... and it will dip and dip... as he loses power and relevance he will lose popularity.

56% of Americans think he should be removed from office now.

USA Today: More than half of Americans believe Trump should be removed before Jan. 20

67% of Americans think he is responsible for the riot

POLITICO: Poll: Majority says Trump bears responsibility for Capitol riot

As more and more of the video from the insurrection is gathered and released, like the new footage today and yesterday of Cops being beaten by the mob, showing the insanity and violence... and as more of the nbehind the scenes details come out - like the fact that WH staffers say he was walking around not understanding why they weren't as happy as he was to see it going down, or that he and Giuliani were calling wrong numbers and leaving messages about how they were hoping to capitalize on the mayhem to derail the certification - the public will turn further and he will become more unpopular until he is a pariah... which is why all those corporations and the PGA are running from him.

Hey, people here were cheering the "Patriots" invading the Capitol ("IT'S HAPPENING!!!") until they saw it was a frick up and then they were certain it was Antifa...

It was the biggest political mistake anyone has made in quite a while... and I'm not sure there's one in modern times that even comes close.

The right has NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVER wanted open-ended discourse. As a movement, they have been against minority voting for decades.

I honestly think you have the 2 parties confused.

Not a one of your quotes from Biden mentioned Antifa.

Some real mental midgets on here.
