I may not be a liberal by several definitions offered today, but I know I am for sure not a conservative by just about every definition.

I already stated that I know you're the one living in an alternative reality where Antifa isn't a domestic terror group. There's no need to keep pointing that out.

Is Antifa a designated domestic terror group?

In any other sane, alternate world, it would be. As it is, it's merely a poison that keeps dripping into vulnerable drinks, slipped in there by ultra-left bartenders. Thanks!!

No, this is the part where we recognize the murders committed by and in the name of white nationalists and accept white nationalists are a terrorist group.

However, a rag tag unorganized gaggle of college students that protest nazis is not a terrorist group.

Attempting to turn the table on that reality is support of nazis. The fundamental claim inherent to "Antifa is a terrorist organization" is "white nationalists are not terrorists". That's what is being pushed. Clear support of nazis.

White nationalists are terrorists. Who can't say that. Show me someone that claims white nationalists are not terrorists and I'll show you a sympathizer.

In actual fact, the federal definition of domestic terrorism can be found under 18 U.S. Code § 2331(5), and it places ANTIFA as well as BLM directly in the domestic terrorist category.

(5) the term “domestic terrorism” means activities that—
(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;​
​
(B) appear to be intended—
​
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;​
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or​
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping;​


(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States;​

Just like ALF, ELF, the Weather Underground, the KKK and every other Democrat-created organization, they are indeed defined as domestic terrorist organizations by an act of Congress. Which makes those who support any Democrat-created organization terrorist supporters.

Not all opinions weigh equally. Certainly a member's ability to generate respect from other members can add a modicum of credibility. I like this forum's poll function, wherein it lets members weigh in on specific subjects.

this board is 80% left-wingers. Polls mean nothing here

Suit yourself. Doubling down on an unfounded assertion exemplifies a very Trumpian inability to recognize truth from fiction. Alas, the notion of Alternative Facts in an Alternate Universe became normal for a significant number of Americans.

did you ever bother reading the polls on this board as to who people were supporting in the election?

Irrelevant to you not 'proving' your positive claim this board is comprised of "80% Left-Wingers."

I read countless polls. In at least one or two of them, I offered Trumper's 2:1 odds, my double donation to their single donation. Ask our benevolent site owner @Schweddy how that turned out.

Did you read posts by Trumpers anticipating a Trump win, in hope of gleefully watching Anti-Trumpers melt down?

Back to the topic: I voted YES. Did you vote?

TD, they are lefty to you because you are so far out their in libertarianville. So from your point of view, it's true. From our point of view, only your eyes are showing over the far right horizon.

the vast majority of those who responded to polls concerning the election were Biden supporters.

the poll question is bogus IMHO, because the term liberal has several different meanings

You might believe that, but there is no scholarly support for that.

all you have to do is look in the poll section of this board for yourself

Always thought of myself as being moderate conservative or never trumper, but after reading the definitions, perhaps may be a liberal.

Conservatives believe in one thing: Move American backward at all costs so they can win their races. Every single Republican policy is specifically designed to make rich people richer and poor people poorer. So if you believe in helping the poor and equality, you are a liberal.

And then confounding all the polls on DP, Biden won the election.

I don't recall ever reading about white nationalists being responsible for the deaths of millions of people. Perhaps you are confusing white nationalists with socialists or communists? Can you provide links to where white nationalists are responsible for millions of deaths?

I'm not a Liberal.

I'm becoming less Conservative.

I'm more just a Dick!
