Yes, we SO worry about being caught in the crosshairs of Democrats baiting the Republicans here SRS.

I think you've rather missed the point. Again.

Here is the thing Bobert. The vast majority here are part of the vast majority. Therein lies the problem. For me, life is much too short to keep arguing with the same idiots here over and over.

As Texas guest points out, you are friends with many of the majoritarian idiots, so tend to be very nice where some of the rest of us see no point.

Genuine political independents (not Democrats who ruminate about being independent political thinkers every four years as they prepare to repeat history at their local voting booth) are the pariahs of our age. Why didn't the FBI just swoop in for the kill here in the Twin Cities five days before our primary election, to get rid of one of our most articulate Green city council members? Why yes they did. No indictments, just innuendo about "bribes" (also known as campaign contributions, but I digress) accepted for voting AGAINST the people/projects he purportedly was bribed for his vote.

I think you are fighting the wrong war, Bobert. Especially here, where everyone is so complacent about the Mudcat petty dictatorship headed up by Joe and Max. If they will accept it here, they'll accept it anywhere...

So I'd be careful who you call "friends" around here. The vast majority of Mudcatters seem to be the folks who would turn you or me or Texas guest into the FBI in a heartbeat.
