  • It seems you, personally, are unaware of the fact that the word “you” can also mean “a person” or “an individual”.

    The Democratic party is not running itself as “you support Biden or you’re out”. There is plenty of dissent within the party itself, which is healthy IMO. You can vote Democrat without necessarily supporting Biden himself, unlike Trump and the Republican party. The right is pushing fascism. Straight up. This is not a hypothetical or hyperbolic sentiment.

    Do I like and support the two party system? Absolutely not. I have lots of disagreements with many things that the Democrats do. But that pales in comparison to the right.



  • The problem is that the right wing has defined themselves as such, because that is who they support and position to run our country. So, by supporting the right at all, then you are willfully supporting exactly those people. Trump has defined the party as “you’re with me or you’re out” and the party as a whole has joined in that.

    Additionally, since Trump is the main leader of this whole party, then supporting the party means supporting him directly, of course. He is a clear liar, a convicted felon, and a proven rapist.

    So, yeah, I’m going to lump all Trump voters together. That is based on their own actions, not by some arbitrary personal desire.


  • Absolutely. I live in a very red state. I constantly see racism and bigotry personally, and also my area is far too often in the national news due to the right’s actions. I’ve personally seen:

    • Nazi flags flown on vehicles (often alongside a Trump flag), also confederate flags all over
    • people being falsely (proven by law and law enforcement) accused of rape because of their ethnicity and/or nationality
    • library workers get death threats because they are simply doing their job or stating “we don’t even carry those books” when radicals want to ban books because they don’t agree with the ideas in them
    • OBGYN departments at the hospital forced to close because they can’t get doctors to work here because they will be criminally prosecuted for doing their job
    • LGBTQ+ people threatned for existing

    And that is not adding in smaller everyday examples of general hatred and bigotry.

    Not only do I constantly interact with right wingers, as they are the vast majority of the population here, but I also have family that have been elected to state positions (as Democrat). I helped make that happen, as well. I have also been involved with other’s campaigns.

    I have no idea how or why you are somehow connecting with my own personal judgement of people by their own actions with a “strategy” of winning elections.

    This is the main disconnect. Right wingers either don’t want to believe that these horrible things are happening, or they simply like the behavior.




  • You’re judging people based on some flaky righty-lefty dogma that attempts to put people in teams.
    Judge people on action

    I literally listed actions of individuals. I did previously also very clearly provide logic explaining how the right has defined their party as “all or nothing” themselves. If you don’t want to be a part of a party that wants that, then don’t support that party.

    Additionally, you’re the one spouting brainless “left bad” nonsense without anything to back it up:

    Much more tolerant than a lot of people who vote left that i’ve mer.

    Then you’re trying to put words in my mouth:

    Especially when you call them evil, or whatever you think they might be.
    don’t fucking label half your country as evil.

    I never even said the word “evil”. I think you just outed yourself.

    My gut feeling? You did lose the election. Are you not living in the same world I am? You have lost touch with what people want and prioritize.

    I never said anything about not losing “the election” (Note how that’s different from “elections” like you said earlier. Now you’re shifting the goalpost). I was specifically asking about your claims for the cause of lost “elections” (again, different from “the election”). You made a very specific claim about the cause of lost elections, and you also said “elections” which claims like these need backing data and information, otherwise you’re talking out of your ass.

    But again, it seems you’ve outlined the disconnect there in that you’ve decided to live in a different world where you get to choose what I said and what I meant. Good luck in that little world of yours, kiddo. Keep me out of it.


  • What exactly is the logic of your comment? The attitude of people judging right wingers based on their own actions makes “liberals lose* elections”? Where exactly is the information you’re basing this on? Your gut feeling? None of what you said made any sense.

    The actions of voting for people who want to remove people’s rights. The actions of supporting a rapist convicted felon liar. The actions of spreading lies that cost people their lives. The actions of spreading hate towards LGBTQ+ people and anyone who is not willing to be a bigot towards them too, like library workers who get so many death threats they have to leave their job and town. All of these of their own actions are what makes them no longer decent* people, not the label itself. Their hateful, disgusting actions.

    How does that exactly cause liberals to lose elections?

    People who are willing to do and/or support any or all of the aforementioned behaviors had already made up their mind on who they would vote for. When logic and reason was never even involved in their decision in the first place, then logic and reason is not going to magically start working suddenly.



  • I’m “hateful” because I disagree that people who support a literal felon rapist get to be called “decent”?

    It’s clear you’re just a troll, because you don’t even make an attempt at logic and immediately jump to insults to try to disguise that. Your post history proves that you desire downvotes like it somehow validates your pathetic child behavior.

    The right has shown time and time again that they specifically want to define the entire party as “all or nothing” and we can only accept that as truth. Yet, when people treat them that way we are making things black-and-white, “Leftist good, Rightist bad”.

    You can’t hide your true face, troll.


  • Must be nice to be able to not be a subject of people’s bigotry and think that people who are actively trying to remove other people’s rights and even have a hand in causing people’s deaths could be considered “decent people”.

    Considering you immediately turned on me for having a different opinion on who could be considered “decent people”, you are likely to be similar to them in their lack of empathy towards people who are different. Maybe you’re not exactly the most qualified person to determine who is “decent people”.

    But please, prove me wrong and show me that empathy you seem to have for your so-called “decent people”. I’d suggest starting with treating me like a person and asking “why do you feel that way?” instead of spewing negative comments towards me.
