Yes, I got it. As a liberal you believe you can make remarks that you call racist if a conservative makes them. But I knew that already. It is an old thing. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

| missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 160 Posts: 5496 | Your point is obtuse and offthe mark, both intrinsically and extrinsically. The term "brown people" is a general descriptive and certainly not racist. I am not a liberal, I am a libertarian, at least that's how I always vote. Liberatarians are in a weird niche in the "liberal vs. conservative" hierarchy as our general indifference to other people's problems may seem republican while our tolerance of abortion and LGBT issues may seem democrat-ish. But hey, if calling me a "liberal" is what it takes to keep you from going postal then so be it. |

You claim you vote however you want, your positions are liberal. Your comments if said by a conservative would be attacked as racist. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

| missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 160 Posts: 5496 | Some positions (social) may appear liberal, but fiscally and defense wise I am pretty damned conservative. Sorry boyo, your attempt to pigeonhole me failed. Again, my comment was not racist nor should it be considered as such if said by a republican. |

One of many problems with your theory is that the black & Hispanic vote seems to be increasing voting more red. The House Plant got less of both Black Men & Women's vote than Hillary & less of the Hispanic Vote. Wait until 2022 when the Black & Brown vote goes further to the right. What are you going to theorize when the GOP takes over both Houses of Congress. Oh that's right, the election is stacked and the voting wasn't fair. Is it too early to label this whining The Next Big Lie? Dems have to start laying the response for the massive defeat they are facing in 2022. I can't wait to have popcorn in hand & watch Rachel Maddow cry again. LMAO Def. of Liar - "A Person Who Tells Lies" / "I lied. Deal with it" - ams288 |

| missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 160 Posts: 5496 | Why would think I am a democrat? As a libertarian I vote for the platform that best reflects my personal world view. I supported lots of Trump's political actions yet I could never support or warm up to the guy because he is a caustic, toxic A-hole. It may be that the republicans will have the presidency and control of both houses in a few years, and it may be that the browns and blacks of America will get redder by the year: dunno, and you don't either. But if you want to make America great again the congress and presidency need to get along and compromise to enact the correct legislation. |

Because you do nothing but praise Democrats and criticize the GOP. You are just the latest in a line of people online here and elsewhere who are liberal but claim to be libertarian or say "I was a Republican until Trump (or bush before him.) I do not get it but have at it if you like it. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

I think you meant to say "hordes of new brown people." War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

Nonsense. While I think Biden is a better leader than Trump I would not praise him or his works; he's trying and seems to act in good faith. I do support a strict immigration program; not building a stupid wall, but ending "catch and release" and penalizing/jailing those who enter illegally. I would consider supporting a moderate republican if such were running, but with Trumpism taking over the party that isn't likely. I do not support the progressive platform of the democrats; I do favor a woman's right to choose; I am against the democrats radical social programs but support their infrastructure efforts. I favor a strong defense but not as pork-barrelish as it has become. I oppose taxing the rich to pay for social programs, but that's because it would hurt me financially. I have no empathy for the homeless and would not give them a dime. There, still think I'm a liberal? |
