It would be a whole lot easier to have a real conversation if the debate wasn't entirely about propaganda.
Okay then, for Pete's sake, tell us: what on earth are the Democrats' policy positions? You've spent your whole afternoon telling us (unconvincingly) what they aren't, now tell us what they are.

I provided like a dozen links, and you stopped after reading one of them for 10 seconds. I mean, next time don't demand something you're not going to bother with. It wastes both of our time.

Ask Jenny Durkan how that went! CHOP would probably still be around if the rioters hadn't marched over and demonstrated in front of her house....


Liberals are getting very adept at simply looking the other direction. Antsy Nancy Pelosi has given the green light to tear down statues. What makes Biden any different?

If you're a real person, you just seem to be looking for an excuse to vote for the other side.
You say all polling shows that most Americans support BLM. Complete BS. Why lie? People are learning fast that BLM doesn’t care about any lives. They are simply a violent hustler organization with weak minded brainwashed supporters that are slowly waking up.

BLM needs to be terminated. The democrat ship is sinking. Abandon ship!

Yeah, we played this game earlier where you wanted evidence of stuff and then dismissed it without even looking at it. You all proved my point. None of you have any interest in actual debate. This place is mostly just for Trump conservatives, fake democrats and troll farms to rack up the high fives.

Can you see why this is no longer my party?

You want my advice?



NO!!!!!!



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.

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.

The BLM that lives in your imagination seems quite terrifying.
