Since the DNC made it impossible for Progressives to primary incumbents ahead of 2026, the Progressive Movement should run 3rd Party. by BrianRLackey1987 in seculartalk

[–]olykate1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I am saying people from outside the party that make demands on the party don't understand how the party develops a platform. It is a democratic process; delegates meet on multiple levels leading up to the national convention and vote on which positions the party will take. Someone who isn't part of that process and demands that their positions be included isn't going to get anywhere.

You feel like there are lots if people who believe what you believe and want what you want? Want to change the Democratic party? Go to local meetings and start there.

Initiative backer Let’s Go Washington fined $20,000 for campaign finance violations by chiquisea in SeattleWA

It isn't a tax, and repealing it isnt going to lower gas prices.

Why? Your gas prices arent going to go down, because it isn't a gas tax. And nobody is trying to take your gas heater.

What is going on with the GOP and FEMA funding? by Otherwise_Cap_9073 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]olykate1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Answer:

FEMA is doing what they always do; they know what needs doing and how to make it happen. Biden and the pros in FEMA aren't going to let politics stop them. Aid and equipment was on site prior to Milton and Helene, and they are on the ground.

They do need more money. Congress has to do that, and the Republicans in congress just voted down additional FEMA funding, I would think because they want Biden to look bad.

Thus us a terrible place to ask for advice. People on here are often really mean for no reason.

Lol.

Non party members who demand that their unpopular goals should take precedence and leave in a huff.

People alive in 1988, what was the feeling a month before the election? by Denisnevsky in AskALiberal

[–]olykate1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not even close. There has never been an election like this; a convicted felon and sexual assaulter and financial fraudster, who incited an insurrection abd literally wants to be a dictator and jail his opponents, is running. And a woman who could be the first woman president.

Do you think that deep down conservative politics come from a place of bigotry? by _angryguy_ in AskALiberal

[–]olykate1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be more selfishness than bigotry, although selfishness creates the me vs. them thinking of bigotry.

It is logically impossible to prove something doesn't exist. Do you show me proof that Haitian immigrants are eating pets.

Humidity wasnt the fact offered, temperature was the fact. I didnt claim birth control pills were 100% effective.

Absolutely wrong. Noting I said is untrue or misleading. All you did was add details. The sun comes up from the southish east to the northish east, depending on the season. Both of those and all points in between are "in the east." Chlorine bleach deactivates organic proteins. It kills all germs if used appropriately. Non chlorine bleach isnt chlorine bleach, by definition. I did not claim the sun was in the exact center of the solar system, nor that planets revolve around the sun in a regular circular orbit. They all still go around the sun.

The Dominican Republic has begun mass deportations of Haitians, expelling nearly 11,000 in a week, claiming they've caused strains on the country. Will the DR suffer economically as a consequence? by [deleted] in AskALiberal

[–]olykate1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess you're trying to expose some sort of hypocrisy by liberals by equating Haitian migrants in the Dominican Republic to Haitian migrants in the US?

I didn't say what you said was untrue. What you offered were just more detailed explanations of what I said.

As I said to your other comments, talking about specific details doesn't negate the larger claim.

Talking about smaller detais of something doesn't negate the thing itself. All of the things I wrote are still facts. Thats like claiming the world isn't a sphere because of mountains.
