i love that alec baldwin as Trump on snl...

[sealybobo]

Was there something in my post with which you disagree?.

Not so much disagree, just an opinion. "both sides are the same", they aren't.

Correct, they are not "the same".

But the ends of the spectrum do share many behaviors, as loathe as they are to admit it.
.

The ends of the spectrum are not the same. Show me where the far left is running the Clinton campaign? What is the far left? ALF? PETA? What? Hell, even Black Lives Matter lives outside of the Clinton campaign. And in case you haven't noticed from those emails, she is not owned by the far left.

Donald Trump is running through a greatest hits of far right wing conspiracies. He was the leader of the ******* birther movement for crying out loud. His campaign CEO (why CEO?) was the president for the gateway site to the alt-right movement. Trump is a big fan of Alex Jones and white supremacists in this country, on this board openly support Trump.

Both ends of the spectrum share many behaviors? No, one of them is being mainstreamed by a major political party and one of them is not.

Again, and I thought I was clear, the ends of the spectrum are not "the same".

However, they share many behaviors, particularly in political rhetoric and debate, such as:

1. Denial
2. Deflection
3. Distortion
4. Hyperbole
   
5. Straw Man Arguments
6. Personal Insults
7. Name-Calling
8. Obtuseness
   
9. Outright Lies

These behaviors -- seemingly deployed as naturally as breathing for them -- make it essentially impossible to have extended honest conversations with them.

If you're really going to deny that, that would fit very nicely into #1.
.

Far left, right or center could employ anyone of those.

Point being, there is no far left in this country that has any real power. The only reason the far left is brought up is to excuse the actions of the far right, hell given the GOP candidate even the moderate right.

It makes me laugh when they blame bleeding heart liberals who want illegals to stay and not the companies who illegally hire them.

 

[sealybobo]

And the opposite is true for the Left. Partisans on both ends are hypocrites. .

And then you have those who are really into false equivalencies and strive to find symmetry to prove their own political bias.

No they are not the same. That's just what Republicans tell frustrated voters because they don't want them to vote. When they can't convince them to vote GOP convince them there's no difference.

It's also what morons tell themselves when they can't be held to having an opinion.

Poor people are so stupid. They say the poorer you are the more likely you are to not vote. No wonder the Democrats only pay them half a mind and the GOP no mind.

I don't think wealth has much to do with it and I actually believe Democrats do quite a bit of courting to those who have been economically disenfranchised. Without them then Obama would never be elected.

So both sides show human traits and that means they are the same in every way? One thing I can't stand is the false equivilecies argument used this year.

Donald Trump says grab em by the ***** = Clinton has said bad things too!

Trump skips out on taxes = uhh so does Soros!

Trump can't find the line between mean and funny at a Dinner and gets booed = Clinton had mean jokes too!

And don't forget the left is just like the right. No differences and if there are differences...they both don't REALLY care about those because they are all terrible.

Some of you guys need a pick me up, some happy pills or at least some glass half full lenses.

Correct.

In fact, what was once considered ‘the left’ a generation ago today represents the mainstream:

The privacy rights of women reaffirmed.

Equal protection rights for gay Americans affirmed.

And a majority of Americans support comprehensive immigration reform and the decriminalization of marijuana.

In response the fearful, reactionary right has fought against this positive, beneficial change with hate, demagoguery, and bigotry – culminating in the candidacy of the likes of Trump.
