The better question is whether and how we can get along. We must if we ever want to push back against the forces that want us to fight each other for their profit.
People like "The Adult" and other rightwing nutjobs need a new hobby to fill the void in their otherwise tedious life.
Maybe they should start running in hobby jogger races and competing for Age Group awards.
I don’t. You’re just lazily using a straw man to attack, again.
Do you deny that the left is freaking out about CNN today?
It's not a "straw man" to point out that the left routinely tries to silence anyone with differing views.
You claim "People have different views. Adults can live amongst this reality."
I invite you to try and give a pro-life speech on a college campus or a speech on any other non-leftist position.
There are people on the left upset about it, yes.
You used that as an example to attack me. That is why it is a straw man. I am not upset. You constantly lazily paint groups with a single brush stroke because it’s convenient. But that’s not reality.

The left behaves as a monolith. You can't pretend you're the one special liberal who doesn't but it doesn't matter when the people in power all think and behave exactly the same way.
The talking heads are all beside themselves over the townhall. The academics at the schools are in lockstep about mistreating any speakers they disagree with.
The left riots when it the courts rule in a way they don't like.
As partisan news networks like Fox News and MSNBC have risen in popularity, so has the polarization of many Americans’ political views. In new research, Jay Hmielowski, Myiah Hutchens, and Mi…
One side will have a lot of trouble dealing with a shortage of people in the skilled trades and the other will suffer from a paucity of doctors, engineers, architects, computer scientists, etc. Never happen.
Care to guess which side will eat?
Seeing as how food production is split roughly 50/50 between red and blue states...I would guess both.
Also if you think that farmers would uniformly side with the faction that does not support subsidies, does not acknowledge climate change, and does not guarantee their access to clean water...

Just because a state is red or blue does not mean everyone in the state is red or blue. Food production is no where near 50/50 between the parties.
To be frank, the angry liberals that reside here are enough to sway my vote away from Libertarian. If liberals want to win the next election so badly, they should be more amicable, and come across as tolerant and less bigoted toward those who have different religious views, societal views, political beliefs...etc. This board is actually majority liberal based off of the last poll in 2017 that LRC ran, and frankly, the intolerance for people who aren't SJWs conveys that it is mostly liberal.
As soon as one conservative post pops up, you'll see ten posts behind it telling the person they deserve to suffer for being white...etc. It's ironic, as the majority of you are Caucasian.
What's most interesting as well, is that in social settings, the only people I see stoking the fire are actually liberal. I'm not interested in discussing anyone's political beliefs, I just want to relax when I am not working, and it is so irritating to have liberal people feel the need to incessantly discuss politics. Don't worry, no one instigating political discussion is serving a higher purpose.
So, between all of it, I will likely spite the people that annoy me, and sway to cast my vote to the right.

Amazing. I've never seen anyone on these boards tell another poster that they deserve to suffer for being white. Yet it is apparently happening every time a conservative posts. As a liberal, I would disagree with this sentiment and I am sorry that this has been going on and I did not speak up.
Perhaps you can show us a thread/post where this occurred, so that us liberals can be more aware of our blind spots and push back when it happens? Just one example of a conservative being told that they should suffer because they are white would be great! It should be easy to find, since you say it happens all the time.
Sure things were very ugly there in Bosnia for a while. But haven’t they pretty much found peace now? Probably handled better than the partition of India. That thing happened in 1947 and those two sides are still fighting over Kashmir today. Maybe DeSantis or Newsome have that Milosevic in them. But if things go that way take out that guy quickly and move on. Since you referenced Waco, the logic of the federal government will just start massacring women and children isn’t a good reason for red states to stay. If my kid is in a bad marriage and their spouse says you can’t leave or I’ll beat you to death. I’m not advising them to stay in that marriage.
Regarding Bosnia and Herzegovina, the peace is very fragile and may not last. I hope it will endure, but the Serbs are very eager to return disrupt governance. Their leadership in areas where Serbs dominate has never abjured the tactics of Milosovic and his many proxies. These are the sorts of men whom DeSantis and Trump would love to see in charge in North America, who see democracy merely as a front and a sham.
Great post, but you still have to have the arm shot to travel to the US. At least until Midnight tonight! It is ridiculous that it has gone on this long.
From CDC website: As of 12:01am EDT on May 12, 2023, noncitizen nonimmigrant air passengers will no longer need to show proof of being fully vaccinated with an accepted COVID-19 vaccine to board a flight to the United States. See here for more information.

The reality is you're denying reality.
Lol. Everyone knows you're a goddamn idiot but why do you have to prove it every time you open your mouth or put fingers to keyboard??
Monolith??? Give me a break. While both sides have become more partisan this could easily describe the right to more than the left. If the far left, the Fringe group that you want to Define the entire Democratic party by, truly controlled and was representative of the entire left do you really think they would have nominated Joe Biden and will again?? Of course not. it would have been Bernie, Warren or AOC for that matter.
I have been considered for many years to be one of the most vocal liberals on this board yet there are many positions on the far left that I disagree with and have said so here.
I've never heard you or some other right-wing kook like yourself criticize the right for being too far right. no it's always that they are not far right or trumpy enough.
You say you didn't support Trump But ultimately you stand by him on everything he does.
It's the right wingers that are so monolithic that anyone who spoke out against Trump they immediately excommunicated them from the party. Look at John McCain. And so many others in recent years immediately lost power by even slightly criticizing that F'n buffoon.
And as far as the CNN Trump Town Hall you are dead wrong because while I have seen some criticism of CNN in the liberal media I am seeing many others state that they thought it was a good thing to do because
A] Trump made a fool of himself
B] he presented many sound bites that could be used against him and
C] if you try to silence him it only helps him
So no despite your nonsense it has not been universally condemned by the left
But ever since Trump took over the party facts mean nothing to you guys and lies are your currency

Which point are you arguing for? What you just said above supports that the ideological division can not be easily split geographically, but in other posts you are arguing that we are on the verge of another civil war and splitting the US up between red states and blue states.
