Perhaps the opposite side of your beliefs is legal for them and see things differently. It's obvious. Biden and the Democrats have made problems for their opponents and the internet and free speech smears are helping but only to a point because it's a two sided blade. The corruption on both sides is deep. So the side opposing to who you see as good overall is not good to them no matter what. The Republicans and their supporters don't care how horrible you can make them sound because they want the corrupt people they want to elect and they want the corrupt Democrats out.. it's call pick your poison. And that is how it is.

This is a common rejoinder to this type of piece, but such responses are nestled in assertions without evidence. Is there corruption on both sides? Most assuredly. Is it comparable in scope? Not by any objective review of the available evidence. Is there a legal counterargument to, say, the issues surrounding the impeachment? If so, no one has offered any including the impeachment panel itself. While it is true that *some* Republican voters don't care how horrible these people are (not how I make them sound--I used their own words and actions), the point of this article is that even Republican voters are seeing through the objective disaster the Republican party has shown itself to be, especially over the last two years. It is, perhaps, a matter of pick your poison and the thesis here is that that is about to happen. And it will be very one sided.

I know for a fact the surveys out there that collect the information to get a consensus are inaccurate, but more so since more people are lying on the questions .. but we shall see. The government is pretty much 50/50 since the beginning..

I agree that polls are routinely unreliable, especially when asking about what someone *will* do in a coming election. But I address why it is safe to assume that 50/50 is not even close right now. See the section related to what has occurred specifically in response to Dobbs.

I did but midterms hardly produce the amount of voters that are registered for voting. Presidential voting brings them out and it's near 50/50 when the votes get counted.. I think there could be an upset in the system in November, but with every 4 years the triggered poll mongers have been right and wrong.. we shall have this discussion after the vote , but with every level of Democrats seeking to damage the other party like putting trump in jail will cause chaos.. I am just a spectator enjoying the chaos from my crows nest.
