I believe in fair treatment of all people of all races, healthcare for all, good clean water and food for all, with protection of our Democracy that I feel is now on the line.

As long as I’m working I can never support another Republican / Conservative. I’m a union member and after the SCOTUS decision in Janus Vs. AFSCME makes that impossible. However, once I retire and am living in North Carolina then my vote will change because I have to vote for the lower taxes....

LovinLarge replies on Nov 1, 2020:

@Admin He didn't say it kept him from being a unionist, he said he won't vote Republican because he's a unionist and Republicans are anti-union. Reagan heralded the end of unionism in this country.

@DavidLaDeau You've completely missed the very point of the rule, to keep people from going out as much. But for you to equate controlling COVID with rape is thoroughly offensive, so much so that my lay opinion is that you have untreated mental health issues and I have tried to do you a favor by suggesting that you do something about it. Your entire argument is invalid and makes you appear foolish at best. You have no credibility and I don't want anything to do with you. If you address me again, I will block you permanently.

@t1nick Of course, I do not get into rural Colorado much anymore. I do not have a conservative bone in my body and would under no circumstances vote Republican so I guess I have to call myself a Democrat although I would vote for third party progressive candidates that stood a chance of winning. I must say I find you to be one of the most interesting, grounded and credible personalities I have encountered here.

@t1nick I'm glad that you've found your place, I wish everyone could. I come from generations of Colorado Democrats. My paternal great-grandmother started the first hot lunch program in Denver schools. My father taught at DU and CSU. Colorado is a fairly progressive state with a comparatively good econony. Because of the ACA, I get health care comparable to what I got in Canada. Sure we have some rednecks, mostly in the south, but they don't get much play here. I never see a MAGA hat and there's rarely any bitching about wearing a mask. I'm sorry you didn't have a better experience here, but please feel free to visit!

Exactly, just like exceptions to the mask rule can be obtained when medically necessary. My 94 year old father lives in Pueblo. Pretty sure he won't be bitching about this.

@DavidLaDeau If you're going to claim something is "scientifically proven", you need to produce the scientific proof. It doesn't matter what I do or don't understand.

@DavidLaDeau There's no evidence that affords your position any credibility. You have to be able to substantiate claims like this but you haven't.

@Zoltans_Queen I totally accept that answer, I think it's totally normal to take casual notice of something and then ponder it later. I don't know if those numbers are accurate or even current, and I wasn't doubting them by asking to see the evidence. Your questions were premised on the numbers, so seeing the evidence was necessary for me to discuss your questions. Obviously not everyone is as discerning as I, but their input won't generally be as helpful either because they haven't done their homework. The real back story here is that we have members that make outlandish factual claims on a daily basis and refuse to support them with evidence because they can't. Particularly right before a critical election, we need to be very careful about distinguishing fact from fiction. Anyway, thanks for hearing me out and welcome to this website!

@Leelu It's not common knowledge. There's a disparity in information within this single thread. Viewing the evidence allows us to rule out potential problems with the data suggested in another comment. It also divulges the scope of the research and may suggest answers to some of the questions raised by the OP. Evidence is how we distinguish fact from fiction. Opposition to evidence like yours is suspicious and ill-founded.

@evidentialist There's no way of life at issue, no demands being made and no particular light being shone. Stop trying to muddy the waters by making this more complicated than it is to try to undermine the similar error that you made in this thread. One member was falsely targeted by another and the offending comment received the approval of 8 other members. It's up to them whether they wish to make it right. I have no investment in whether they do or not because I learned all I needed to know about them by the fact that they supported the nasty comment without at least verifying its veracity.

@CourtJester Facts do not involve feelings or personal opinions. Facts are established by evidence and neither you nor the OP has provided any. You made a factual claim about the circumstances under which a photograph was taken. Prove those circumstances are accurate or you are a liar

@CourtJester The only stance I've taken is that factual claims require supporting evidence. This is the standard of proof accepted by all western countries. Giggle all you want, but the OP hasn't provided any evidence of her claims and you haven't provided any evidence to prove your picture is what you say it is. Not only are your claims unproven, you do so at the risk of your own credibility.

@TheMiddleWay The OP said "it seems to me", he did not say it was factual. But YOU made the factual claim that we "have to accept the evidence that the ' zealot apocalypse' will never come to pass" on this website. The only one who made a factual claim while failing to provide supporting evidence was YOU.

@CourtJester They are lies because they are unsupported and unsupportable with evidence. Anyone can say anything but saying it doesn't make it true. Evidence is how we distinguish fact from fiction. Let's see the evidence that proves the factual claims made by the OP. She didn't provide it because it doesn't exist because her claims are false. Sit the fuck down.

@KKGator One member made a false claim against another member. Other members supported that comment. The author apologized for the false claim yet you still support it. Anyone with integrity would denounce the false claim with an apology to the targeted member. I'm not going to explain it to you again. The truth is not important to you. Yes, that is your option.

LovinLarge replies on Oct 20, 2020:

@AtheistReader I agree that it appears that way. Let's call them "The Deplorables" to avoid what I would really like to call them. And I concede my view of The Deplorables is theoretical but it is informed by much regrettable but relevant experience. The problem for The Deplorables is that their negligent approach to their relationship with the community is that it only serves them in the short term. Ultimately, we are social beings, interdependent with others to a certain extent and their selfishness will work against them in the end whereas those who selflessly invest in their community will benefit over the long term from that very community. I can't prove it to you but I will say that sometimes it is wise to at least consider available theories when all else seems lost. I can tell you that there are some days when this theory is all that gets me out of bed in the morning.
