@wnyguy can you explain the difference between a democrat and a socialist?
I think that Democrats believe that capitalism is still the best way to go, while Socialist believe that all facets of life be owned by the government.
5 minutes ago, LeGOATski said:So, you wanted the government to lock everyone in their houses? That seems counter-intuitive to your argument.
And just for the sake of argument, you're talking about outside vs inside, as well as events that can be done virtually.
In fact I was saying the opposite. Why was it ok for one and not the other?

Actual enforcement through law of cultural and religious ideology has been slowly chipped away. I'd say we're making progress there...
That's true, and while it was perfectly ok to attend a political rally or a protest or a riot, churches and temples and mosques, grade schools, high schools and colleges were forced to shut their doors. Fantastic progress there.

What?? But the Democratic Party, and many Republicans, are going along with the stolen election. They hijacked, stole your republic away, but you don't hate them??? How is that?
I hate their actions but in the end we are all just people.

Why?
I oppose a big federal government that will enforce a specific way of thinking and beliefs into American culture.

But the Democrats are evil, right?
You have to answer yes, you just claimed they are a dictatorship like Putin’s Russia.
Do I believe all Democrats are evil? No, I believe Socialists are evil for this country that's true.

The courts gave specific reasons as to the suits that were thrown out. Instead of giving those reasons, you go back you the big lie.
You're part of a cult.
If that cult is wanting a true and fair election then I am.
1 minute ago, Tiberius said:That’s because a racially and ethnically diverse political party is winning fair elections. (That’s my opinion of your opinion)
Well your opinion would be wrong. I do not judge people on race or ethnicity or gender.

I believe it was to avoid having to admit that elections could be tampered with on such a grand scale.
2 minutes ago, Tiberius said:So our system of government is as bad as Russia now, is that right? We have a totally rigged system, in your opinion.
Yes that's my opinion.

Multiple audits, the DOJ, and multiple courts say otherwise. You would offer anecdotes. Those are worthless.
Not true, no evidence was presented because the courts threw out the suits before they could be presented.

While I decry these tactics by each side this certainly makes sense from a political movement perspective. You put pressure on the company, they put pressure on legislators, laws then get written the way you want. It’s only been since, like the 1780’s that this has gone on.
Which is one reason I think campaigns should have only restricted public funding.
And I would stand with you in decrying these tactics by either side.

Just now, oldmanfan said:
Where’s the data? Where are the facts? You have none. I say this all the time; you want to decide that 2+2= 5 just because you want to decide it’s true. Sorry but that doesn’t work.
I guess I am relying on my eyes and my own common sense to hold my belief that the election was filled with inaccuracies and fraud and dishonesty. I could give you example after example but it would fall on deaf ears.

No. people here got up in arms and also pressured Lilly. Your pretend victimhood is amusing.
I don't necessarily agree with the tactic. I am saying that for you to cry crocodile tears about people exerting political pressure as if it the sole province of liberals is silly.
I am not doing that at all, simply pointing out the differences in boycotting a company that has made a position known versus one that has taken no position either way. Had Home Depot claimed a side then it would seem obvious that the opposition would exert pressure on them, but to make no claim either way and still be targeted by any political side (left or right] makes no sense to me.

Maybe. But that happens to bea part of political protests in this country, and has been forever. and sometimes necessary. Here in Indiana a few years ago when Pence tried to force through his anti-gay legislation, Eli Lilly (arguably the biggest corporate presence in the state) was pressured and they understood it would result in them not being able to hire the best and brightest. And they brought pressure on Pence. Voila, the law was dumped.
Yes. So what?
So boycotting a corporation that has taken no position on the matter makes no sense. Why must a corporation be targeted for being neutral? Is it now "you're either for us or against us" ?
-
1 minute ago, oldmanfan said:
There is no difference. You want to see one to justify your right wing views. Corporations are pressured to go along with the political aspirations either way. Liberals are pressuring Home depot to take their side. Conservatives pressured the NFL and Disney to take their side. And so on.
In your examples a position was taken by a corporation, true? In the Home Depot case no position was taken at all. also true?

You are splitting hairs. Citizens pressuring corporations, politicians threatening corporations. Same coin, different sides.
Pressuring them for what though? Home Depot was silent on the issue, took no side, they were Switzerland, remained neutral, offered no opinion on the matter, and yet a call for boycott was raised. You don't see a difference?

Gotta love someone who levels an accusation of “idiotic post” and then says the nonsense above.
You bought Trump’s Big Lie (which has been refuted by, oh , I dunno, ANYONE with a shred of credibility) hook, line, and sinker and you’re accusing ME of idiocy? That’s rich. 😂
Come on man, even you, deep down in your heart, know that it was an election rife with fraud and dishonesty. To believe otherwise is simply closing your eyes to the facts. I only wish that there was a true insurrection that day, a true overthrow of the corrupt politicians that laugh in the faces of Americans who believe that their votes matter.

There-in lies the problem. Everything is and is not cancel culture depending on your perspective. An absolute waste of time.
And yet, here you are.

I made the mistake of reading the comment section of Ben Shapiro's posts. Tons of people rooting for Chauvin's acquital.
Ben has been one of the biggest cheerleaders for Chauvin's innocence, reposting articles claiming he did what any reasonable officer would do... You have to be a sadist to think his sadistic actions were reasonable...
Well I certainly wouldn't describe his actions as heroic that's for sure.

So they can pwn the libs with things like this
Owning the libs is all it's about.
Things like what? Come on what will they do with Chauvin should he be acquitted? Spit it out Melonhead.

Or he isn't buying the sadistic line of arguments that what Chauvindid was perfectly OK and legally justified.
For all of the criticism of protest and potential riots, the right has some sick sick people commenting on why Chauvin is a hero and did nothing wrong.
To quote the guy who hand delivered a box of doughnuts to the four officers on the day of the Rodney King beating verdict, they are heros because they are "beating the jungle back."
You have to be sick to buy the defense argument that it is OK for police to kneel on the necks of handcuffed citizens with no pulse.
And no matter what your political beliefs, if you don't recognize that a not guilty verdict sends the signal that it is OK for police to slowly murder black men in 2021, then your head is up your ass.
Please point me to anyone on the right saying Chauvin is a hero. Thanks in advance.

To do what?

Probably not but good advice is never a bad thing. Don't Vote Stupid. It's got a ring to it.

I’m actually a great example of Reagan’s policies gone bad.
From 6th grade on, I was an exceptional test taker. I rode that all the way through college.
Now look at me.
LOL Funny is funny. Thumbs up.

Yeah, she got her second shot last week. I did also.
They had 6 new cases last week and her school is really tiny. Parents are still sending their sick kids to school. Like really people?
I'd blame that on Reagan too.

Don't know too much about her but after just reading that article she seems to be a loon.
