Lol...MAGAs brag elections have consequences for four years then clutch pearls when AOC says same.
why not do it peacefully and legally at the ballot box ?
why do we need to loot, threaten and burn to get our way ?
Is this a HROT rule? You can’t criticize if you can’t vote for them. Dems should follow this rule.
I didn't realize AOC said I should loot, threaten, and burn to get my way? I thought she said I should vote for Biden even if I don't like him much?
Keep going. You'll get to the part where I did not condemn AOCs comments because I interpreted them as encouraging people who aren't thrilled with Biden to hold their nose and vote for him anyway. That was my answer to your questions. So I guess the conclusion is we interpreted her comments differently. That's okay, it happens. No harm no foul.
Why didn’t Washington just beat George in an election?
You don’t respect democracy then complain that others don’t. You made this mess and the only way it gets cleaned up is to undo Trump.
I condemn you Trump! I’m also very sorry to all liberals that I didn’t post in the thread about Trump.
It’s already happening. I’m recognizing the mess Trump made. I’m calling for peace. Stop fighting and remove Trump.
Lay off the weed, or post less when high. It's affecting your critical thinking.
I don't know if there are enough batteries to support an army of what nat and allies are armed with. Not without regular shipments from China.
Sorry couldn't resist.
I give myself 1/10.
Glad we can agree to disagree. The most concern part was her using the word “radicalize”. That means something different to you and something diff to me. How does someone who is ANTIFA or BLM interpret it? The same can be said about what Trump says. How do the Proud Boys or Buagaloos (Or whatever the F they are called) interpret what he says?
I don't think Democrats or Republicans on the ballot support violence or rioting. I think if asked directly they would all have to say they support peoples' 1st Amendment right to gather and peacefully protest. So I think, with the people on the ballot, there's unanimity on both sides. The reality, of course, is how you deal with the rioting and looting where it is going on. I do not have faith in Trumps administration to help the situation. I think Biden would work with any local governments to find a way to stop the violence and rioting and part of that would involve addressing the concerns of peaceful protesters. I think Biden cares enough about America that he will work with Democratic and Republican governors, mayors, sheriffs, and legislators on that issue. I don't know if he will be successful, I think he will at least try.
Fine, but you've been flogging it for two days now trying to generate an argument that only you can see.
Im convinced rioting and looting stops the moment Biden wins. I’ll bet the BLM protests slow down significantly as well. I doubt it has anything to do with what Biden says or how he works with the local politicians.
Maybe until the next lethal confrontation caught on tape that looks bad. Also maybe in the winter when it sucks ass outside in Milwaukee and Minneapolis. Then I think it starts right back up after next one that looks or is bad. Unless the administration has a competent plan to address it.
Nah, they were shooting up night clubs and churches.
We’re going to burn your shit. Pick peace or war this November. Your people obviously aren’t as prepared for war as you thought.
I don't think you'd want to count bodies left from right. Are those official affiliations even?
OP needs to look up the definition of radicalize.
Talk about lunatics. Thank God for law abiding citizens being armed to defend themselves.
Radicalize means going back to FDR to AOC.
Radicalize to Trump means bring out the tiki torches, “Jew will not unite us”, white nationalism.
Why are you inciting riots? You say you will vote for Biden (I don’t believe you.) Act like you are a calming influence, rather than stoking the flames like trump. You are coming across as an alarmist.
Are you suggesting every Democratic voter is in your little box? Expand your vision, child.
Don’t sweat the nickel dime stuff. trump is blinding you to reality.
If you don’t believe me then I don’t know what to say. I’ve voted R for president since 1992. My wife has voted D for president since then as well. 2016 we both decide to vote Johnson in protest. We’ve already discussed it, we are both voting Biden. I’m not thrilled about it, but the US can not handle 4 more years of Trump.
I feel like AOC is stoking flames to a much larger audience than little old me. How in the world does this translate into me inciting riots?
Does the left ignore the nickle dime stuff? The hypocrisy is strong on this board. Just look at all the threads started by your brethren each day.
Read your posts in this thread as a stranger reading it for the first time. Put yourself on the other side of the table. Get out of your safe place and try to understand how others view your words.
Or, don’t.
What is your obsession with a freshman Congress lady from Brooklyn? She is a hottie, but not someone who will burn down your farm or neighborhood. Look to gain a perspective outside of your comfort zone.
You posted...
“I said this in another thread, but the left is setting themselves up to riot and loot if Trump wins. Cities will burn.”
To me, you are basically encouraging riots. Cities will burn...
Why does pointing out the problem suddenly bother you? You have pointed out the same thing. We both know a Trump win will lead to death and destruction. We both know we are pretty bad at stopping unrest in any sort of acceptable way. You should have said “Dang, that sounds bad, I’ll do what I can to avoid that outcome.”
Its my prediction. I don’t want it to happen. Let me ask you. Trump wins. What happens in every major city the night or day after the election?
“We’re going to burn your shit. Pick peace or war this November.” That is your quote. I responded to those words. That’s your position. I didn’t realize you are that far gone. Just because I’m predicting it doesn’t mean I support it or want it to happen.
