MODERATORS
you know you can think all of those things and still disagree politically on the how right?
How children shouldn't be fed
How the poor shouldn't be housed
How the sick shouldn't be cared for
How women shouldn't control their bodies
How Americans can't marry who they love
How certain people shouldn't exist
Yeah, you're not making the point you think you are..
youre proving my point by phrasing things that way. lets go with healthcare as thats an easy example. it's obviously not how the sick shouldn't be cared for as you stated, but how should they be cared for?
Maybe you think we should abolish the entire health insurance industry and have a single payer system.
Maybe you think we should require everyone buy health insurance and fine them if you don't.
I'd prefer the former but if you oppose the latter people assume you think sick people shouldn't be cared for.
That's not actually how it is, though. Easy example is abortion.
I take it you are unaware of American politics.
I wish. instead I get to be annoyed by people who think that if you don't perfectly align with the talking points they listen to you must be the enemy
Well the "talking points" greatly affect people's lives and rights. So, yeah. For example, if you disagree that LGBTQ people should have the same rights as everyone else then you are in fact the enemy.
