Well, take it anyway: ignore all this "If you silent you're complicit" nonsense. That's just jargon designed to put a guilt trip on you. Your No. 1 responsibility is YOU, not the left, not the radicals trying to guilt you into joining their hopeless cause of turning this country into a lawless anarchy. Look out for No 1. Next, look out for No. 2, your family. Forget all the rest. Try to weather this storm as best you can looking out for No's 1 & 2. That's all that can be expected of you.

You seem very interested in the subject, so let me explain what silence = violence means.

If you witness racist behavior, or hear someone using racial epithets, threats or demeaning language, and you say nothing when given the opportunity, you are perpetrating racism.

It's just not cool. Don't do it.

This is not a post from a "Democrat" who is fed up with the left. Come on. At least learn to lie better.
I never do, there's usually at least one thing in there that gives them away. One big tactic of this whole board is gaslighting the left, and this is yet another example. I feel it's because the right realizes that they're losing the war and are resorting to scorched earth tactics at this point

Oh huge sample size huh? I'm sure they threw out the answers they didn't like too.

IF, and that is a BIG if, people do support BLM it is because they believe the lies from the MEDIA that it is a civil rights group. It is nothing but a Marxist, terrorist and extortion organization to funnel money to the Democrats. Period.
My claim was that polling showed Americans support BLM. I provided some of that polling because someone said I was lying. I didn't lie, that's what the polls show.

It's really easy to say a poll is fake instead of admitting maybe your view is not as mainstream as you think. Maybe, in fact, you are the extremist.

BLM/Antifa make up the hot new Red Scare for conservatives. Trump is their Joe McCarthy.

Whatever. As long as you "feel" better about yourself. Pew is biased. I know the Pews personally. I grew up with them. Also polls are notoriously wrong or Hillary would be President right now.

Okay, fine, I looked at some more of your links. The Washington Post story laughably makes the claim that Trump said "without evidence" that there were left-wing groups causing trouble at a protest (yet more of that embarrassing editorializing once-reputable news outlets engage in these days.) They then go on to talk about these "Boogaloo Boys" and how they had plans to kill a park ranger or something. Nothing about violence at a protest. Some other stories mention how a few guys wearing Hawaiian shirts were seen at some protests. No real evidence about violence or looting or property damage or anything.

But anyway: let's hear some Democrat policy positions. Please.

Plenty of fools believe the lies of BLM but people are waking up to their BS.

Cry me a river. If silence equals violence snitches don’t get stitches or ditches. So preach that Hypocritical trash in black neighborhoods with high homicide rates. I don’t need to hear it.

Based on convicted hate crime rates blacks are also The most violent racists. USDOJ, FBISTATS.
