29. What are we suppose to do aikoaiko? Accept their false narrative, quietly, appeasing for a vote?

Firstly, it is blatantly false, a non truth.

Secondly, as we see, it hurts us and makes us weak.

We have to be able to speak out our truths without being accused of offending those telling us lies.

Both parties are the same? That just does not factually fly.

I want to understand.

Preach it! Absolutely right on target. K&R...n/t CaliforniaPeggy Jul 2017 #1

What It Will Take IMHO Me. Jul 2017 #20
Here is the thing. We do not have the media. They actively redefine what Democrats say, pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #22

You mean Dems actually growing a spine???!!! hamsterjill Jul 2017 #31
Good Way To Put It Me. Jul 2017 #34
I hear them speaking up all over the place. Can you be more specific about the spine you demand? Eom pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #35
An example... hamsterjill Jul 2017 #37
I hear Waters speaking this way. Others too. pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #39
Yes, you're right as to Waters. hamsterjill Jul 2017 #42

First priority: stop fascism. We can squabble amongst ourselves AFTER KingCharlemagne Jul 2017 #13
Ya? After, I still prefer not to squabble. What a waste of time and energy. Eom pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #18
Dont get me wrong. I like a good collegial squabble as much as the next KingCharlemagne Jul 2017 #24
I totally agree. Eom. pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #25
Thank you. hamsterjill Jul 2017 #32

Sam Harris' words on race, Islam, guns, etc., are twisted. This is a joke, right? Hoyt Jul 2017 #33
Why am I not surprised that you brazenly lie about Harris........ pablo_marmol Jul 2017 #83
I am not surprised one gun fancier thinks like another gunner. Hoyt Jul 2017 #85
So you've stopped in here twice to shit on my thread? NYResister Jul 2017 #54
You obviously don't know sh*t about Sam Harris. pablo_marmol Jul 2017 #65
That is a convenient way of wrapping the conversation up in isolation. pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #71
I would never twist Harris' words JHan Jul 2017 #66
Thanks for the lesson in political history. :-/ pablo_marmol Jul 2017 #84

You're right we do need the help, massive help, from non-D party lefties and left leaners. aikoaiko Jul 2017 #28
What are we suppose to do aikoaiko? Accept their false narrative, quietly, appeasing for a vote? pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #29
You ask a good question, but follow it with unhelpful presumptions aikoaiko Jul 2017 #59
False narrative, non-truth. "I agree that the parties aren't the same" pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #60
Hyperbole and stereotypes make the base to many people's, perhaps even you aikoaiko Jul 2017 #61
I really disagree. Too many were saying that. Too many. pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #62
I remember Bernie saying it was better to vote for D over any R aikoaiko Jul 2017 #63
That was not good enough. That was insulting to all of us Democrats. pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #69
Again, who is us because I'm a Democrat and I was happy with what he said. aikoaiko Jul 2017 #72
Ok. Then you are insulting me also. That is why So many Democrats continually say they are pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #74
Because I'm a Democrat and have just as much say as you. aikoaiko Jul 2017 #76
Democratic Party is just like the Republican Party. pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #80
Here are some things where I think they are unhappy with the similarities aikoaiko Jul 2017 #81
We have responded. Everyone has responded. How many times has Clinton apologized for her vote. pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #82
You don't speak for all of 'us' melman Jul 2017 #77
Is it true both parties are the same? pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #79
What were they saying? NYResister Jul 2017 #64
That's what disenfranchisement looks like. aikoaiko Jul 2017 #67
Clinton did ask. Clinton did respond, repeatedly. At her detriment. pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #70
Then you keep talking, asking, listening, and responding. aikoaiko Jul 2017 #73
AT Clinton's detriment. You do not "keep" when it is clearly hurting. Eom pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #75
