WITH GOOD FLUCKING REASON. MAGA repub ZOMBIES want to win at ANY cost, no matter if that cost is the end of democracy in the US, which you would LOVE and go dancing in the street TRAITOR COMRADE.
Biden should spend at least as much time calling out the intolerant mindset of many of his own voters, like you. You are opposed to freedom of speech and due process for people.

Those you find yourself agreeing with are you, and they are looking for
solutions or just justifying the dislike for another group of people?

This could be true with either the right or left; those you disagree
with, are they respected as individuals, or do we think of them as
less than in some way? Are we building bridges or casting stones?

Thoughts?
Sadly, I am casting stones.
And I know it’s not constructive.

Part of my job is to find middle ground and I have to deal with a lot of quite unreasonable positions. So when I get on here and people are even extremer, I just get the urge to let rip.

But, in my defense, even when I do try to take a mature position by questioning and writing from internalisation, instead of pointing and externalising, you just end up against a brick wall here.

And that is the trouble with internet. Most of the right-wing turkeys on the forum wouldn’t be half so extreme if you were talking to them on a park bench.

When I see the words, "right" or "left" and then extremest I think it is more a knock
on all those people who lean that way instead, of just the actions of a few, who are
acting in ways they should be demeaned for, if the word extremist alone was used I
think it would be more apt. I know there are decent people on both the left and
right, but we (I included) can simply cast them all under the bus so to speak by
addressing the whole for the actions of a few, it becomes easy to think the worst
of people who don't deserve it.

Says the kiwi sucker who isn't even American but feels ok to bitch about OUR government. Tell me, how much bitching do you do about your OWN government or do you just spend your time screaming about ours?

And ONLY dems, never a WORD about bad stuff repubs do.

Yep, you are SO unbiased AND not even American. I would say stop sucking Kiwi's and go suck an EGG.
