What positions of the two provided (being against facism, and protecting women) don't you "blindly" adhere to?
And there's the idiotic extrapolation I'm referring to. I'm talking about the discourse in general, not the specifics.
That's a way to say you don't want to say which specifics you are against because people will see your shitty morals
Wrong again. I'm trying to point out that it's exactly this type of conversation that has been driving people away and making the left wing half of the US political spectrum completely impotent.
Seems like a great way to say “I bought into the right wing populist bullshit, and don’t want to be held accountable for the results we’re now seeing. So I’ll blame the left that the right wing populist bullshiit told me to blame for everything.”
As dumb as it is to claim the left and right are only having minor disagreements, or are equally valid, your comment is not helping because this behavior is exactly what Anteater is referring to.
And what would you have the left do?
Meet the right in the middle. Again?
So that in 4 years, asking that political prisoners be treated with the slightest amount of human decency is just too damn extreme for the right to take seriously?
No, I would have them work against the right even more than they are now on a macro level, and on a personal level to be firm that certain things are wrong but to not drive away people who are willing to convert.
we live in an age of information. if someone chooses to wallow in disinformation, that is their choice to remain ignorant. if someone is 'willing go convert', they will do it themselves by reading the news and searching for facts.
You should know most people don't read the news, let alone search for facts
