It can be difficult for some to accept that not everyone
lives in one of those 2 little partisan boxes.

pssstt... it's not my website, dude.
The people who served with him either call him Songbird McCain or traitor, straight up.

Your rule of thumb might apply here:
... if I were so egotistical to apply what I would think in that case, to everyone else.
But I, on the otherhand, believe that not all Americans vote... not that all who don't, have no opinions which are intrinsically valid. I think that some people don't particularly like either of the offered and then winnowed choices. Some of them will instead vote only to vote against the most objectionable. It's not really a toss-up, in this case. One is openly in favor of America burning to the ground, and one is not. One even pays to let the arsonists out of jail. That isn't President Trump. Biden can't even give a speech without losing his place. And that Harris creature is either Indian, Mexican, or Black, depending upon the prevailing political winds... in any case she is the daughter of a slave-owner and should have a bit more shame.
____________
Now for the rest of us.
Not only is this post about the OP called Deadly in Portland, but it speaks to the cause of the burning down of America. Marxist theory has the dismantling of one reign to replace it with a thing of their own making. Whatever it will be, America will not only be run by a Corporation in DC, taxed by international banksters in London, and ground under the foot of the Bolshevik Terror.
That Bolshevik Terror is the iron teeth of the industrial revolution which created a creature called the people and united them into a mass of mankind, making Communism man + man + man, just as it was in France when the words were liberty and equality for all mankind. Of course, the beast has a pyramid structure, and one teeters on the top even now.

Agreed.Voting against someone seems to be a valid choice... the best of two evils. And the politicians should probably try to learn that fact, and not assume that they won because of personal charm or character. Career politicians have a hard row to hoe in that regard. As America's pseudo-royalty, they don't seem to know where we live. And the really royal families don't know who they are, today. Royalty cares for its people and leads them, protects them, tends their wounds, eats at their tables, and shares their tears.
That partisan box theme reminds me of the movie Divergent, where the people are divided into five factions: Abnegation, Erudite, Dauntless, Amity, and Candor.
Which one of those boxes would you fit into? Which would be your most usual attribute? Which ones are you missing entirely? ... Do you put yourself at risk to save another person?... abnegation and dauntless and amity. Can you be honest and kind... by today's definition? Can you be smart and selfless? Can you be dauntless and mindlessly take orders; if so, which faction should provide those orders?
During Deadly in Portland, would you stand in the gap? Or make molotov coctails?
I'd stay away from such violence.
But if I were there, I'd encourage peace.

Say the rioters came to a theatre [of war] near you.
How would you encourage peace?
I don't know.
Situations can be complex.

It seems like you're Amity and/or Abnegation. I found a thread here about the movie Divergent... and took a couple of tests. Who we want others to be isn't always who we are ourselves. Seems simple, in hindsight.

It's the website you linkedto to support your spurious argument.
Of course, I know you had nothing to do with creating it. Even for sleazy sites, it does take some creativity that goes beyond linking, cutting and pasting.

One is openly in favor of being ruler-for-life. Hence his love affair with Putin and Kim.
Hence his assertions that the election is rigged and the voters will try to steal it from him.
However, Trump is so stupid he doesn't even recognize that he would need the support of the Generals to remain in power after losing the 2020 election. So, he just insults them, one by one and then in groups.
That's funny. I guess you never watched your boy give a speech. It is so easy to know when he is reading what his people wrote and when he goes off on his own little tangent rants.
Here's a good example of Trump's rambles when he's not reading a speech.
It goes through air, Bob. That’s always tougher than the touch. You know, the touch, you don’t have to touch things. Right? But the air, you just breathe the air and that’s how it’s passed. … And so, that’s a very tricky one. That’s a very delicate one. It’s also more deadly than your—you know, your, even your strenuous flus. You know, people don’t realize, we lose 25,000, 30,000 people a year here. Who would ever think that, right? Pretty amazing. And then I say, well, is that the same thing? This is more deadly. This is 5 per—you know, this is 5 percent versus 1 percent and less than 1 percent.
It's clear that he really does not understand what he is saying. He's just mouthing some words that he heard from others. If he really understood that it's deadly and passed by breathing he would have recommended face masks. He didn't then, he doesn't now.
You clearly demonstrate that you have no clue about shame.

That sure sounds like a typical off-the-deep-end rant by a believer in conspiracies.

Not everybody needs a General to protect them... your ruler-for-life thing sounds a lot like conspiracy.
Covid goes through the air, like 5G does; humans are mostly water, and air is dissolved in water...
It's a Democrat thing to wag the shame finger. I knew a man who said when that happens, three fingers point back at you. ... Simplistic, yes... but also profound.
As for Harris... what do you call a chimera/chameleon... fellow-traveler?
Should I go cry now? At least give me credit for creativity in my conspiracy rant.In the quote above, you implied that off-the-cuff was not what you like to hear... the Biden stumble-through-speech is more your style. Here, it's the reverse. Pick a side and own it.
Just because they're out to get you doesn't mean your fears (about them) are real.
Conspiracies, like fears, should wake you up not shut you down. If you're not that type, stay under the bed and out of the way... thanks.
The strong are strongest alone. (I don't need a General, either.)

Who in those bizarre sources called him a Traitor? What was the name?
More radical RW media choices. Global warming is directly affected by excessive CO2 pollution. The science confirms it.
The only people who claim it's a hoax are in the pockets of Big Oil. Big Oil is the one lying about the problem and has the money to dupe the public. It's all about $$.

What did you think Songbird McCain meant? (Why is the left defending McCain who pretended to be Republican?)

Kamala Harris says she supports a mandatory buyback on 'assault weapons'
That's going to hurt the rioters in Kenosha... we saw a bunch of them carrying what Harris wants to rip from our hands... oh wait... that won't affect people who are using guns to commit crimes: in-for-a-penny-in-for-a-pound... huh
Then maybe THIS is why:
“The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of the republic; since it offers a strong moral check against usurpation and arbitrary power of the rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them.”
--Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States
Nope. Antifa/BLM even say that's what they're doing... but burning down car lots and furniture stores and apartment buildings have nothing to do with taking down the "arbitrary power of the rulers."
Here's what it is, right here:
Gun Criminals Aren’t In The NRA…
The rest of the world, once it was stripped of its guns, fell over like a cripple on stilts. They don't really want to have to work for what they're planning to steal. They kinda sound like cowards.

Yeah. Based on Trump's wet dreams. Do you deny that he said he might not accept the results of the voting?
I suppose that means something to you.

I don't fear people who believe in conspiracies. For the most part, I ignore them. When I do think about them, I pity them almost as much as I have pity for the more clinically insane.
Trump wanting to be dictator for life, like his beloved Kim, isn't a conspiracy, it's a fact. Evidence for this can be seen by listening to his own words.
Ohhh. You don't need Generals because you are not going to hope they help keep you in office. Trump would have liked to have had them on his side, but he even screwed that up.
Harris is a constitutional scholar of the
means-whatever-I-damn-well-want
school of thought.

I make it a point not to talk to people who use that sort of language.
