Tuberville failed to mention that he’s personally prevented hundreds of officers from being promoted because he disagrees with a 2022 Pentagon policy.

    the statement was encouraging a voting position

    the phrasing didn’t indicate that. “Should never win an election” would be much more clear than “should not be allowed” which implies prohibition.

      the phrasing certainly didn’t indicate that they wish for the abolition of the GOP, you came up with that on your own

      "should not be allowed” which implies prohibition.

      you’re thinking of “shouldn’t be able” bud, at the end of an election there can only be one party allowed into office

        Actually, I view it as the opposite. Really this is subjective language differences. But should not be allowed to me implies there is rules prohibiting, where’s shouldn’t be able to implies that they should just fail to.
