So you can claim all Democrats feel this way because people in big cities rioted?

Rioting was ok because muh civil rights and muh insurance. And the occassional muh mostly peaceful and muh outside agitators.

Seattle literally allowed a sovereign terrorist nation to exist downtown for a couple months.


The people who I know who vote Democrat don't condone rioting but they rationalize that it's people striking out in the only way they know how in the name of social justice.
Said Democrat voters see no correlation with the poverty and crime in these inner cities that have been managed by Democrats for over 50 years.
Translation: The Democrat voters have been thoroughly brainwashed/indoctrinated by the liberal progressive media.
These riots have nothing to do with social justice rather it's just a bunch of government dependent thugs who see an opportunity to get more free shite.
What we need is legislation (that won't happen with Democrats in control) that links government assistance to work ethic and family unit structure.

You're such a liar. Creating a strawman like this is bad for America.


I could start posting up screenshots of my conversations with these people if I thought it would make a difference to your tiny little broken mind. But it wouldn't, so I won't.

My liberal elderly aunt in Chicago. My antifa sister-in-law in ATL. My liberal MIL on Lake Oconee. My childhood friend now a social worker in Athens. Many others who I consider myself close to, people with whom I can communicate with truthfully and openly, both ways. All of them told me straight up the rioting was warranted, unfortunate but warranted. No straw man whatsovever. I'm not sure you even know what straw man means.

I could have them all sign affidavits and you still wouldn't believe them, just like you don't believe the 100's of affidavits of voter fraud. You are not an independent thinker. You do zero adjudication of the information that is pumped into your brain. Whatever NPR tells you is true, must be true, in your mind. There's nothing else to it. NPR speaks in simple soft voices, they must be telling the truth. No liars would ever speak in such soft reasonable voices. I feel sorry for people like you. I really do pity you.

Poverty and crime are alot more complicated than the party affiliation of the mayor of a city. Though few, there are some large cities with Republican mayors or city councils, and their crime is just as bad.

Funny, because that's what we say about people like you. We can't both be right.

Well I guess that rules out the entirety West Virginia, too. Republicans will never pass this because there are just as many (in fact, way more) poor and stupid white voters as there are poor and stupid black voters who depend on government aid. And it hasn't been for lack of opportunity. Most recently, the Republicans had full control of government from 2017 to 2019. This has been a codedly racist talking point to rile up the base ever since Reagan was President, and if they wanted to the GOP could pass it, but they won't because it would hurt them politically more than it would help them.

Lol. This is part of why people just beginning to engage in politics don't take conservatives seriously.

Ossoff a communist? It's just nonsense. The guy is a left leaning centrist. In almost any other country he's right of center.

This is a fair point, and it's worth noting that food stamps from the Dpt of Ag are a drop in the bucket of the budget. Very little cutting of spending compared to the shite show it would cause.

What do you think about the massive voter fraud in Georgia though?

Let's assume this is true for the sake of argument [it's not], what qualifies a 32 year old person whose only job has been making political documentaries for a film company, and whose only other gigs have been as low level campaign staffer for low level government officials? What makes this guy ready for the fricking US Senate? This guy is a manchurian candidate if I ever saw one.

He has zero life experience. He's Georgia's version of AOC but not quite as stupid.

Actually please do. I would love to see conversations that show all of these people saying "I am pro-rioting."

I feel sorry for people like you who are so quick to anger and make assumptions about other people. I mean, there is a high likelihood that you are overweight and wear Saltlife graphic tees, but I don't know that for sure, so I'm not going to make that assumption. You put words in the mouths of everyone you disagree with on this board. That's why nobody respects you, because you're dishonest and question others' motivations. I don't believe the 100's of affidavits because federal judges don't believe them, to include Trump appointees.

No need to assume. It's absolutely true. Take his policy proposals and contrast them with the rest of the country and with the political parties. It's harder to argue against the real person than with the clichés and caricatures you find in conservative media and echo chambers.

I'm a proponent of citizens entering politics. I'm trying to figure why a guy with Ossoff's background is unqualified for a position as a junior senator.

You are correct. We both can't be right and it is not the conservative right that dominates/controls every form of communication media: news media (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, etc.) education, Hollywood, social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), news papers (NYT, LA Times, Washington Post) etc., not to mention Democrats being funded by big money liberals like George Soros, Mark Zuckerberg, etc. and of course they are heavily in bed with China.
You absolutely made my point for me my friend.

Flat earthers, anti-vaxxers - hell the Branch Davidians say the same thing. "Were right and everyone else is brainwashed by some them .

CNN is only on the left to conservatives in America. The Washington Post is conservative. Twitter is anti misinformation, but arch conservatives think fact-checking is a threat.

All of those organizations are pro profit and pro corporate before they're anything else. That means they're anti-lawsuit, so they remove potentially harmful misinformation.

You got a link to that, by chance?
