elected congressional representatives who use or incite violence should face legal consequences or lose their positions. They should also be denounced by the international community and civil society, and pressured to respect human rights and democratic standards.

The issue is that it runs into conflict with the democratic process.

These people were elected, so it's not something that should be done lightly to overrule elections by refusing people their chosen representation.

@volkris
Sounds too balanced and an acquiescence to these MAGA Republicans.
My position will not waiver!

Well of course it's an acquiescence to the MAGA Republicans. That's democracy. The whole idea is that we acquiesce to the wants of the people as they vote.

You are welcome to take the position that democracy should be overruled here, but just realize that's what you're doing.

If you are comfortable with depriving people of their chosen representatives, that's fine. Just make sure you realize that's what you're calling for.

Personally I think that promotes civil war, so if that's your motivation then it is counterproductive.

@volkris

I'm very comfortable with my position just as I would have been 90 years ago in Germany.

I would not have been a fan or devotee of Neville Chamberlain and his aquiesance at that time in history.

Please consider this dialogue terminated.
