What Democrats mean by saving democracy is that all voters either voluntarily or at gunpoint, accept and embrace the democratic socialist ideology. To me this sounds a lot more like an authoritarian dictatorship by Democrat party leaders, who will do anything and everything with no holds barred to gain and retain power. But to you, that's what democracy means.
You really are just stupid aren't you......... you literally just described Donald Trump, not the Democrats.

Chap, I would expect your experience on this to be like mine. I have never gone around in my country with proof of citizenship. People are not stopped to show papers. It is hard not to feel it a basic freedom from threat. I wonder how Ajax would feel being stopped and having proof of citizenship demanded.
Indeed. In the UK it is still the case that no-one can stop me in the street and ask, as they can in France, for "Your papers, please". To some extent, that is a historical consequence of being an island.

I ran out of time finding the best examples, but google ICE arrests citizen despite them having passport or birth certificate and you'll get more than one example of ICE arresting people who literally have their papers on them.

Do you think that criminally prosecuting ICE agents for deporting illegal immigrants when Democrats get back in power is an extreme position? Do you believe this is even constitutional?
OK. You’re mad at Democrats for a future timeline and for things that they haven’t done. Got it.

If there is no law that entitles ICE to "to randomly pull people from polling lines, to check their citizenship papers", then you are not obliged to do anything to convince them that you should be allowed to vote.

No doubt ajax18 thinks that you should not assert your legal rights, and instead try to convince the ICE people to their satisfaction that you should be allowed to vote, and if they are not satisfied submit quietly when they drag you into a van.

Or what do you think canpakes should to, ajax18, if ICE people pull him out of a voting line and demand to see proof of citizenship?

I got stopped plenty of times and asked to provide documentation during my 22 months in Colombia. We need voter ID bottom line.

For what they've promised to do.

Promises are a dime a dozen. Look at how many Trump has made that have never been fulfilled, and probably never will be. And he’s the President, whereas you’re complaining about random low-level pols who don’t possess the power to do what you claim they’re promising.

Now, I’m curious about something … why do you believe that Trump fired Bondi?

I watched plenty of people be pushed out of windows in Russia for not agreeing with the President. We need defenestration bottom line.

You will need to forcibly remove the Trumps from the White House, because an election result won’t do it.
Is this what democrats mean when they say that they want to save our democracy?
You have it exactly backwards. If Trump has to be forcibly removed from the White House, it will not be because Democrats refuse to accept an election he won, but because he and his MAGA Republican sycophants refuse to accept the results of one he lost. The riot and attempted insurrection attempt of Jan 6 of 2021 was precisely that -- namely Trump's attempt to overturn a fair and legitimate election that he lost. If Democrats were the ones inclined to behave that way, they would have done so in 2025. Instead, they lawfully, though unhappily, accepted the 2024 election results.

How can you be so clueless as to not realize that?

Or do you just mean there is no chance that Trump could be voted out in a fair and honest election? If you still believe that you are even more clueless! Have you not been paying attention to the opinion polls?
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Xanax is obviously mentally ill. You’re wasting your time trying to reason with someone who won’t help himself, but instead chooses to believe idolizing an obviously insane person is the right way to deal with his personal issues.
