Great points---ALL of us can improve and be more open-minded/less partisan! It's tough to do these days with emotions running as high as they are but somehow we have to at least TRY to find some form of common ground.
Everyone with a locked in affiliation simply rationalizes their side's behavior and demonizes the other. On EVERYTHING!! Regardless of the circumstances or facts.
That's ALL YOU EVER SEE on this board!!
I used to be more open about the right (and used to give Laffy hell), but events of the past few years have changed my mind, not to mention the "locked in affiliation" of the right.
This is not a true discussion board. It's a place where people with locked-in opinions come to flame at each other. Some, like cks (a/k/a ChicKenShit) occasionally pretend to be "rational and intelligent" but all they are is transparent partisan hacks.
That said, I enjoy torturing ignorant hypocrites like Wanker The Welfare Queen and ChicKenShit and expect to keep on doing it.
Every stick needs a piñata.
My good man--even though we are on TOTAL opposite sides of the political spectrum I doff my chapeau to you!! Because you have the cojones to FREELY admit what I stated at the start of this discussion. I salute your honesty!!
There is an exception, and that would be Respectful Robert. Very possible to have rational and intelligent conversations with him.
And I can’t stand Bullshit…I may have an opinion but I don’t post caca
What you state is my biggest pet peeve here. Except in very rare cases, people are not interested in honest debate. Posters here, on both sides, often make excellent points and more times then not they are immediately met with numerous ad hominem attacks. I try not to be super bipartisan but I don't always succeed. I can do better and will try. I hope others would follow but I won't tell others how to post so it's a dilemma.

and governed from the center, I think the discourse here would not be as polarized, but he sold his soul to the devil (Bernie and the Progressives) to get elected and now he is reaping the problems that come with that. Independents have especially abandoned him because they wanted someone in the center and that's what Joe promised on the campaign trail, but it was all a lie, and now the independents are going to flood Congress with Conservatives just because the progressive agenda scares the hell out of them.
In a recent poll, only 28% of independents that voted for Joe would do it again. That's enough to deny him the WH next time around regardless of what else he does to get re-elected. If Dems abandon Joe and put up a different nominee, the independents are still going to be gun-shy about getting an inflationary progressive with any Democrat. If Joe can fuck them, anyone can.
They seem so delusional when it comes to this. And the more we're learning the more it is what it is...a failed coup. But yet, the right doesn't get it...so how can "stupid" be rational?
We can rationally and intelligently debate whether it was an insurrection or a riot. More discourse along those would certainly elevate the quality found here at this forum.
It's through those lens is how your party see it..Your party has to realize the intention of 1/6, what was it for and the why? And this is where your party is just whistling in the night, I see nothing, I hear nothing, move along.
And I didn't post that it was an insurrection..
Opinions are like assholes; everybody has one, & they all stink.
This forum just reflects the wider lunacy of the liberal worldview. It's now almost universal in liberal circles to demand censorship. According to Glenn Greenwald, no rightwinger he, CNN and other liberal media stopped inviting him on their networks when he disagreed with just some liberal policies. Liberals are now trying to deplatform Joe Rogan and Rogan is hardly a far right person (he voted for Bernie.)
.
J.K Rowling, author of Harry Potter series, is practially a socialist, but since she disagrees a bit about biology, the liberals want to destroy her.
.
Liberals are extremely intolerant an authoritarian in their world view. If you disagree even just a tiny bit, they will literally destroy your life and laugh about doing so.
.
In short, liberals are horrible human beings. Not surprising they are horrible here on this forum as well.
work and science in saving lives!!
Lester the fester strikes again!!!!
during his career, but he has killed a lot of people with all of his flip-flopping on masks and mandates the last year. The news media is just starting to publish his emails and text messages from early 2020 that shows he was a conspirator in concocting the fiction that the virus was created naturally in bats. The correspondence shows that he knew all along that it was from the Wuhan lab and was involved in the coverup. If Fauci was in the Chinese government, he would be ending his career on his knees with a bullet to the back of his head.
Fox? Don’t make me laugh.
