This Divided Nation and the loss of actual political discussion

[BackAgain]

These tw governors fro different political parties at least made a start.

This nation is divided practically right down the middle. Not only do we generally disregard what the “opposing side” says, we also denigrate it. On the surface, that seems about fair since the “other side” does the same to us.

But it seems like more and more, lately, there is even such disgust with what the “other side” says, that we don’t even want to hear it anymore. That’s perhaps the root of “cancel” culture.

I’m a bit ambivalent about what they said in the video. But I wonder if there is any real world chance of us ever (again) at least trying to adhere to their advice.

Food for thought.

Discuss or don’t. I’m not here to tell you all what to do.

The political left needs to feel safe on speaking out against the regime. The regime's indictment of Comey is already sending the opposite message.

Comey knew the Russian collusion accusation was a hoax.

Stop. The prior administration and its accomplices sent the message to the GOP.

If you don’t like it, don’t do it yourselves.

In any case, you’ve missed the point.

Just tone down your hate-filled rhetoric.

Lol. You ***** like a little school girl about Ds hating Rs, while you hate Ds.

Think!

 

[Mac1958]

Nice. It has to start somewhere.

Now we just need some momentum from both parties. That'll be the hard part.

 

[elektra]

Rhetoric is what you get when one side wants to create a different form of government the people dont want.

You’re wrong as always. And hateful.

I fully disagree with most of the idiocy espoused by you libtards.

What a moron (such as you) can’t wrap your tiny little “mind” around is that my disagreement with your dangerous stupidity doesn’t require “hate.”

I don’t hate libs or Dims. I just find them to be very ignorant and dangerously misguided. You, however, are even worse. You’re a vile rodent.

All wrong as always.

You think I’m a lib but I’m not. Never have been. Hate me anyway.

 

[BackAgain]

Huh. Another display of originality from Gimp.

You’re a drooling lying libturd; and your denial of that persuades nobody.

So dumb DumbAgain. Stop being a sniffling *****.

I can’t stop what I never even began, you shithead. Damn, you’re stupid.

I leave sniveling ***** shit to twats you, you lying libturd.

Lol. Please try to post something intelligent you *****.

Why? You have no ability to discern intelligence, you **** rash.

Spencer Cox was definitely involved in the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

I'll be attending a no kings protest as a republican soon, as i did the last one......what to do?.....well how does one talk to angry irrational sorts that don't make a lick of sense BA?

~S~

I love all people. You don’t. You hate liberals and Muslims. Who’s right?

 

[whitehall]

Add the shooting of a Mormon Church today. The apparent lack of political discourse centers around the mainstream media defending democrats and the crazy TDS hatred on the left.

Very good question. And I suspect it’s obvious to one and all (if they’re familiar with a fair and representative sampling of my posting history) that, I don’t claim to know.

But I try more and more to post respectfully to those who meet me halfway.

If I run into a troll (we all know them), I generally feel zero function about treating them as rudely and as dismissively as they treat others.

But that’s all Board shit.

In real life, I rarely allow political discussions with any of my liberal or leftists pals to degenerate into the same kind of disgraceful behavior. Real life has boundaries. And I assume that’s the secret.

The political right lost a presidential election in 2020 and never accepted he results though the same election saw them gain seats in Congress, several legislatures, and a few governorships I believe. You were so pissed that you staged a failed insurrection. The last 5 years and 10 months have seen nothing but denials from you guys trying tp blame everyone except yourselves for the insurrection attempt.

When you guys return to reality and we’re all accepting the same facts as truths, then we can have meaningful discussions.
