I don't care what party you are because anyone from any party can spew nonsense.

Your fallacy is the belief that tolerance means having to tolerate sexism, anti-semitism, racism, etc. There's a reason why the Democratic party includes such a diverse group of people, and why groups like African Americans and LGBTs are more likely to be Democrats than not - because the Democrats' policies also tend to agree with them rather than not. And if you don't believe that, then you're what's known as a useful idiot.

African Americans have been sold a bill of goods by the Democratic Party for a LONG time. Many were very vocal in their support of Trump this year.

Truth is, democrats use whatever groups necessary to further their agenda. BLM is a prime example. Democrats speak out for BLM, but when black police officers are killed - silence. Police officers’ deaths don’t fit the narrative.

My friends -- I present to you, the Ad Hominem.
Ad hominen? How so? The quote was "orange man bad" - a complaint from the right that we only assume bad things about Trump. I, in turn, I responded that he is, in fact, very bad and gave examples why he has deserved the title of "orange man bad".

Turns out, I don’t have to believe what you tell me to because I can think for myself. That’s why I’m not a democrat.
What have conservatives done for black people, other than suppress their vote? Why is the Congressional GOP so overwhelmingly white, compared to the much more diverse Dems?
 
One side is intolerant against sexism, anti-semitism, fascism, LGBT discrimination, and racism.

The other side is intolerant for policies for racial, gender, sexual, and cultural equality.

Intolerance is perfectly fine to have in a society. But again, you're being willfully ignorant in believing that both sides are operating in good faith/morally/ethically.

That’s a load of crap and you know it. And I’m sorry - the party that’s for murdering babies up until birth is NOT the party with the moral compass I’m after.

Pretty sure your Hollywood liberal elite with their pedo rings and child molestation aren’t conservative republicans.

Also, just because a party believes in traditional marriage and family values doesn’t mean they don’t support rights for LGBT. See the difference is, you can believe someone deserves to have rights without necessarily agreeing with or celebrating their chosen lifestyle.

...you mean the Democratic policies that tend to reduce racial discrimination like trying to legalize marijuana, reform the police (read: not abolish) to improve accountability for misconduct - problems that tend to more heavily discriminate against minorities? The very policies the GOP had been rejecting for years?

Turns out, I'm not trying to make you believe what I believe because that's not what I believe in. But when what you believe in aren't even grounded in facts, then "thinking for yourself" just means living in an alternate universe. You don't have to be aligned to any political party to do that.
 
Orange man IS bad.

Donald Trump is an immoral, cheating cretin. He lies at a level that is shocking, even for a politician, He is racist and bigoted and a braggart. He takes responsibility for things he never did and fails to take responsibility for things he did. He has no sympathy or empathy for anyone but himself, claiming victimhood constantly, and has zero negotiating skills; no ability to bring consensus and can only use threats to get people to move to his position. He is lazy and incompetent and has never accomplished anything as president that wasn’t handed to him. His childishness is almost laughable. And now, he moves into the rhelm of outright sedition. Trump is just plain mean - a sad individual. And when he dies, few will mourn him. Many will celebrate. That is his legacy.

For anyone to continue to support Trump or, worse yet, excuse him, indicates their complete lack of morals and conscience.
Trump is immoral you are right.
Trump is childish and it’s not laughable it’s sad. But that’s what happens when you don’t get your way when you’re used to getting your way your entire life.

You want to know who else is immoral? Kamala Brown I mean Harris. Yeah that’s right Kamala had an affair with the mayor of San Francisco and it just so happened to advance her political career.

Ilhan Omar also had an affair. She wasn’t married but her fling was. I guess that would make her a home wrecker.

But guess what. I’m sure half of our politicians have or will. They’re all immoral. It just seems you like to bring it up when it’s good for you. Those are the types of facts I like. I’ll call Trump out when he needs to be called out but I’ll also call out others. You just seem to want to call one side out.
 
All the violence and destruction coordinated on Facebook and Twitter all summer and Apple does nothing.

Very sad Apple taking a side in politics. Bad for everyone.

So, you believe in pizzagate apparently? And clumps of cells are not babies. That is a personal choice and none of the right's business.

Meanwhile, you have a probably pedophile right in the White House. Trump, ogling his daughter and telling Stern it was OK to call her a "piece of azzzz". Or saying that a then 12 year old Paris Hilton was attractive. Or walking through the Miss Teen USA pageant dressing room, with underage half naked girls, because he "owns it". Or telling a young girl on an escalator in front of cameras that in ten years, they will be dating (seriously, he saw that kid and THAT was the first thing he thought to say?). Or commenting on his then one year old baby Ivanka's potential breast size in an interview. Or hitting on Michael Cohen's then-15 year old daughter. And let's not forget his buddy Jeffrey Epstein. I wouldn't be surprised if ole Jeffy provided The Donald with a 16 year old Ivanka look-alike. A man with no morals or conscience like Trump would have no problem with any of that.

Suppress their vote? You’re joking right? As opposed to democrats who just want to use their votes, keep them in poverty, living off the system, so they can continue to buy their votes that way - never giving them the opportunities to better their lives?

But times they are a-changin. There are quite a lot of conservative blacks running for office. And frankly, the difference to me is seeing the person instead of the color.

If the only way you can achieve your policy goals is by overthrowing our democratic government, maybe you should re-evaluate your policy goals or do a better job convincing everyone else that those goals are desirable and worthy of enacting.
 
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
The only problem with your comparison is that the people organizing on Parler, the THING IT WAS DESIGNED TO ALLOW, are actual, literal Nazis, people who were wearing "6 million wasn't enough" shirts during Wednesday's seditious attempted overthrow of representative democracy in the United States. Apple banning one app does not censor anyone, the First Amendment doesn't even slightly come into play here. If neo nazis want to try to organize on a website, they can do so. Apple doesn't need to give them a platform to do it.
 
Defund the Thought Police!
This is going too far. I have defended Apple when people attack "Big Tech" for censorship. I do not believe Apple has the right to dictate to Parler what is and is not acceptable points of view to be shared on their platform.
Parler is responsible for moderating the content available on the app. They are allowing violent behavior. As a negligent app they deserve to be removed.
 
This isn’t a freedom of speech issue.
When Apple exerts pressure on developers to impose Apple’s speech standards, which are by no means absolute, on the developer’s app’s users, it becomes a free speech issue. The problem is that all our soap boxes and printing presses have been digitized and are largely controlled by a few corporations. Two-hundred forty-five years ago the equivalent would have been for King George to confiscate all the lead, so that no types could be cast.

It is flabergasting to see how brainwashed & dishonest you are. Murdering babies up until birth. What? Moreover you just outed yourself alluding to your QAnon pedo conspiracy. The sheer amount of cognitive dissonance in this post is astounding.
 
This is a little Big Brother... ISIS and Iran constantly post crazy **** on Twitter. Something needs to be done about big Tech.
What should happen is that other sites need to moderate their content much much more. You should be supporting Apple here. Big tech does need to be investigated -- for allowing neo nazis and other fascist radicals to use their platforms to spread hate, recruit, and organize literal insurrection and overthrow of representative democracy in the USA. It must not stand.

The right has been suppressing monority votes for decades. Like in GA and other states, where polling places in minority areas are severely limited, comprd to white areas. I'm not going to argue reality with you. You seem entrenched in the Qanon world.
 
While I have been a huge fan of Apple (owned every single generation of iPhone from the original one to 12 Pro Max, several MacBook Pros, a handful of iPads and several iPods back in the day) I will not stand for this. Banning stuff like Epic for willingly circumventing AppStore rules is one thing, but banning an app because you don't like what it's used for is total censorship. While using Android or any other OS may not be as easy and enjoyable as iOS, macOS, etc., I will NOT stand for censorship. If Apple does this, I am done.
Go away and please do let the door hit you on the way out.
 
I don’t think that would go how you think it would. I’m here to tell you right now that if everyone at the MAGA rally or even a very small portion (like the number that ascended on the Capital) wanted to still be in the Capital building. They would still be in the Capital. There would be much bloodshed on both sides and it would be terrible. Please tell me again who is trying to promote violence? It sure sounds like you are. Maybe we should ban you for it. Lock your account and take away your ability to express your views of rounding up people that think differently than you. Weird how familiar that sounds. Please tell me again who the fascists are?
Yes. We liberals are literally promoting the idea that our government use force to deal with these enemy traitors.

Remember, these traitors fly the flags of Americas enemies in our own country. The shouldn't be treated any different from ISIS or any other active terrorist group.

You do not have freedom, and you still must obey the laws of this country.
 
Bad move Apple

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
As a Jew I find your conflation of the Holocaust to this disgusting and offensive.
