BGP populist party

[Pioneer.Pride]

Darn, I thought this was going to be about planning a social event!

Who would decide on the line between the yeps and the nopes, and where would that line be?

 

The platform is clearly noted at the top of the page. I love how a parade of people from the left who would never be a part of the party are the ones commenting on the party.

Is this your answer to the question that I posed?

Well, to be fair to those who don't seem to be on board with your party's policies of inclusion and tolerance - you did ask.

Nope

 

How about a Black gay couple?

[kypride]

I don't understand what you guys think is wrong with being black?

[UKMustangFan]

I think most don't understand what you think is wrong with being gay?

I think the vast majority of us don't think there anything wrong with it. If someone chooses not to serve a gay couple and that's seen as okay then someone else may not want to serve an African -American couple or a Muslim couple or someone who is transgender. Why don't you clarify your "Party's" platform by first responding to UKMustang's post?

Or a white person...don't discriminate.

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.

Precisely .

I am coming to understand that its super hard for those on the left to comprehend that people can be different but actually leave each other alone and not force offences on each other.

The replies here from the left have been nothing but an attempt to polarize issues. And conservatives have remained quiet or disinterested. The idea of the thread was to explore a middle ground, a moderate ground, a populist ground. Not the edges of ideology. I have failed. Somebody just close the thread.

Gotta tell you - the "religious right/freaks on the far left" didn't really help on that particular score.

 

And the BGP conservatives have already spoken. See post #2.
