The Democrats Represent An Elite Cabal...

[Spicerack]

Unbelievably some on the left here still think they represent the working class people in America. Perhaps they'll listen to Tulsi? (Although I kinda doubt it)

You are well out of order her andy hughes.




Gromit talking about Tulsi Gabbard on Wed 27th Jan 2021

Zacs,
Not sure why the video has been posted.
It is a leading Democrat, Tulsi Gabbard saying that Biden should root out the alt right nutjobs who were behind the Capitol building riot.
Seems a good goal to me, but Biden might be too busy running the country. She argues that QAnon, nazis etc are a very real danger to the American way of life, just as much as the rioters.

Can’t see what miss Gabbard’s views have to do with real fascism.

[andy-hughes]

Roy, I really don't care if you want to get bent out of shape about something Gromit may or may not have said.

Neither am I inclined to get involved on yet another pointless wheel-spinning argument with you about it.

Let's move on shall we?

[royfromaus]

You are being a moderating bully.

Gromit is not telling the truth. That is an unrefutably fact.
If ABer are not allowed to call out lies then the Answerbank is SUNK!

[ichkeria]

From what I can make of it, the Tulsi Gabbard gromit mentions in his current post above is a pretty accurate assessment of her.
The Democrats are well shot of her and to be quite honest the GOP would be better off without her too.

[royfromaus]

It's an amazing assessment for someone who has just heard of her.

[ichkeria]

She blamed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on … the current US administration so I rest my case

[andy-hughes]

roy - // You are being a moderating bully. //

You have no idea what, if any moderation I have carried out on this thread - as usual.

If you are unhappy with the moderation, raise it with the Editorial Team.

You are entirely welcome to discuss the veracity of a point someone has made, you are not wlecome to contavene Site Rules doing so, and if you do, you run the risk of your posts being removed.

That applies to everyone, so please don't assume that anyone, and certainly not me, is 'bullying' you with applying the Site Rules.

[royfromaus]

So you believe that lies shouldn't be outed as lies then, andy?

[FatticusInch]

Is unrefutably even a word?

Asking for a friend…..

[andy-hughes]

Roy, I haven't sewn an example of the 'So' Rule for a while, but here is a perfect example.

I have offered no views about the concept of lying, but since you are raising it, I do think that lies should be exposed.

But there are ways of doing so - being offensive to other AB'ers is unacceptable, as the moderation on this thread has confirmed.

[ichkeria]

Another discussion ruined by an utterly silly spat and some overzealous censorship

[andy-hughes]

Thanks for your input.

[ichkeria]

My pleasure, speaking as one who actually tried to address the question.
The trouble with zapping some comments is it just leaves everyone else with comments complaining about stuff no one can see.

[royfromaus]

A bit of faith in the Answerbank's moderation restored. Thank you whoever saw sense. (Do I get a bit of compensation for being wrongfully suspended?)

[andy-hughes]

Roy - I'd leave it while I'm ahead if I were you!

[royfromaus]

More threats.
Why do you do it?

[andy-hughes]

Roy, I was being light-hearted, it was not a threat.

Shall we get back to the thread now?

[naomi24]

I was going to add to this thread earlier but found it closed and now I’ve forgotten what I was going to say, so just one observation. If the Eds are still wondering - despite being told over and over - why this place is going down the drain they need look no further than the
skeletal mess created here.

Hopefully I’ll recall my original thought in the morning. Night all.

[FatticusInch]

PMSL at the Best Answer! I mean, what were the odds?
BA should’ve gone to Gromit for NOT responding to the pathetic accusations.
Yet some still see sound advice as ‘threats’? PMSL.
Same old…..end of.

[Gromit]

Oh dear I am being accused of lying.
I wrote that I had never heard of Tulsi Gabbard, but it turns out that I had posted about her previously 21 months ago.
I simply forgot.
She is an obscure American bit player and instantly forgettable. Her opinion on her recent colleagues are unimportant and pointless.
