    This is fallacy. There's not a single republican looking to actually do anything except tear down "democracy" right now.

    If they had good policy, and didn't concentrate on culture wars, maybe they could win. But they're too busy being racist, homophobic, and generally against people...

    I'm pretty much solutions-based. Owens may very well be tooting the horn for change. Moreover, organizations such as the Woodson Center (whom I financially support) are in the trenches making the yoeman's efforts.

    I tend to agree with @dviss1 on this one. I consider myself to be a genuine moderate. I believe that every American should get a “piece of the pie”, whether that is a Pollyanna attitude or not. In the 2018 state elections I voted for Knute Buehler and Kim Thatcher (both Republicans) because I thought the Democratic choices for those two positions were horrid (for good reasons in my eyes) and that Buehler and Thatcher were not only better choices, but that their elections might actually benefit the entire state, not just the Willamette Valley. Both Buehler and Thatcher lost. My disappointment was cut short when both those individuals announced that, in the wake of defeat they were both now “Trump Republicans” because they would have absolutely NO chance of winning in the future if they did not hook their stars to “the other guy”. It didn’t hurt that somewhere around 40% of Oregonians voted for Trump in 2020. Republicans CAN win in Oregon, but because we’re generally down on ALL Republicans (even the so called “good ones”) we run the risk of opening the doors wider to Trump Republicans. Yet again the price for refusing any and all compromises…….

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Many of ABM's posts read like he prefers black people who think black people are the problem and should deal with the effects of prejudice and bigotry themselves. (SlyPokerDog edit)

    No, ABM does not and resents the insinuation therein.

    There was no insinuation within. I said precisely what I meant, based on all the things you've said about race relations, protests, etc.

    Based upon what you've just insinuated above, you'd be completely wrong. Now, if you'd like to expound on something more in depth or, even better, actually quote me, I'd be happy to discuss/clarify.

    EDIT:

    For the record, I've never really trusted the BLM "organization's" leadership (or lack thereof), and am much more inclined to get behind efforts such as the Woodson Center. But, it seems in here, you say one thing counter to anything related to BLM, and you get castigated.

    I'm attacking his position, which is perfectly acceptable. There was no personal insult.

    No, you've stated my position, which I've denied having.

    Giving my view on your position is, again, perfectly within the rules. Craig doesn't seem to understand forum policy too well, unfortunately.

    You may be attacking his position, but you are not replying to a post. You are not attacking a post, you are attacking a poster. Go read rule #7
