Re: Anyone bored and want to fact check this for me

I don't think a fact checker can properly say they are lies by comparing to the Communist Manifesto because the Demecrats do not admit to being Communists. I am sure the person who copied and pasted probably thinks of himself as a compassionate person. I may believe that the leaders of the party are all wanting communism or at least socialism, but the question is if they are lies based on the DNC Party platform.

I don't know if I can say they are lies based on the wording of the platform because the platform does not define terms the same way I do. For example, in the one line we all do not believe, they claim:
They say we want to take away your guns: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want logical gun control to help prevent mass shootings.
I claim they are trying to take away my guns if they are trying to take away any of them and they claim it is not taking away my guns because they are letting me keep some of them. I could also claim there is no such thing as logical gun control and no gun control will stop the mass shootings. I would also claim it is a lie by posting quotes from as far back as 1995 with Dianne Feinstein to 2019 with Beto Rodriguez both saying they would collect/ban all assault weapons.

Many of the other claims are of similar nature: the definition of the terms is critical to the argument. The biggest one I see as a clear lie is the claim that they don't want free things. The party calls for a move towards what they call single payer heathcare. They want to provide health insurance to every person in the US free. The honest ones recognize it is not single payer but a tax increase where everyone who works is paying, so it is hard to say the claim is a lie even though I define it as a lie.
