Putin has elections. So does Maduro. And Erdogan.

Make no mistake: that is where we were heading if Trump had won.

Holy Cow! Trump is pressuring governors and legislators to take over election. - Hibakusha - 2:28pm 11/18/20 (31) [View All]
- Typical move by a dictator. [NT] - Frank L - 2:58pm 11/18/20
  - Dictators running in an election? But, if he is a dictator, that means the election is fake. - NedoftheHill - 3:01pm 11/18/20
    - Pretty simple position. Do you support a President coercing state legislators to flip his election. [NT] - Hibakusha - 9:01pm 11/18/20
      - How is he coercing them? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 7:15am 11/19/20

      - Before you also change this post it means you have already made two whatabout posts in this thread. [NT] - Frank L - 3:09pm 11/18/20
        So? Whataboutism is a useful way to expose hypocrisy. - NedoftheHill - 3:10pm 11/18/20
        No. Whataboutism is a simple-minded surrender to immorality. - Chris94 - 4:02pm 11/18/20
        Great. Then Trump's actions will justify none of Biden's. Hiba, Jim & Frank won't like that. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 11:20pm 11/18/20
        
        It’s a more useful way to express it. [NT] - Frank L - 3:11pm 11/18/20
        Or, for you to expose that you don't understand the main point of my posts. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 3:16pm 11/18/20
        The point that when you use it, it’s good, but not so when used by others. - Frank L - 3:18pm 11/18/20
        That point is that when I use the term, I am using it to expose your hypocrisy, not to justify Trump - NedoftheHill - 3:21pm 11/18/20
        Oh, okay Ned. only YOU use it to expose hypocrisy. Everyone else uses it inappropriately - Frank L - 3:25pm 11/18/20
        You're the bestest! [NT] - NedoftheHill - 3:28pm 11/18/20
        I know that Ned, You don’t need to be so obvious about it. [NT] - Frank L - 3:30pm 11/18/20

        Soooo, you complaining about whataboutism is a joke, Ned. [NT] - Frank L - 3:10pm 11/18/20
        I'm actually not complaining about whataboutism. I'm complaining about... - NedoftheHill - 3:17pm 11/18/20
        Uhm no Ned, quite to the contrary. - Frank L - 3:20pm 11/18/20
    - Good example of why you complaining about whataboutisim is so humorous. Two already in a five post - Frank L - 3:04pm 11/18/20
      - You make no sense. - NedoftheHill - 3:06pm 11/18/20
        This post needs some grammar help Ned. Not to be snarky, but it makes no sense. [NT] - Frank L - 3:16pm 11/18/20
        You want me to edit it? Done. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 3:21pm 11/18/20
        The English language thanks you. - Frank L - 3:29pm 11/18/20
        I'm just glad we have you on record that you want me to edit my posts more. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 3:37pm 11/18/20
        Fair point. Sometimes all the editing in the world just won’t save the effort. - Frank L - 3:42pm 11/18/20
