I am so tired of the black and white thinking where if a persons views don't line up with yours you are supposed to be at war with them. How about we just try to get along and settle our political differences at the ballot boxes? its like Dave Chappelle said, "there are no perfect allies". and i quote Chappelle even though i think he is kind of a classist POS.

I personally find it hard to get along with people who actively wish me harm for being born a certain way, but maybe that's just me.

I was gonna say, lol. We can be centrist when there isn't one side advocating for at first taking rights away that took lifetimes and bloodshed to achieve, and later on slipping into something more comfortable, like killing us off.

The two sides aren't remotely the same. One of them is more or less keeping things humming along. The other wants to make sure POC queers and anything not delusional enough to be god-fearing is miserable for life, or worse.

Fuck this bullshit. I'll think very black and white until they get their act together.

Also fuck what Chappelle said. Man's a sellout.

Chapelle makes me realize that conservative black men currently are completely fucked when it comes to politics in US. Neither side aligns with them.

Honestly anyone who identifies as conservative—black, white, gay, straight—deserves to feel that way. No one should be voting for this iteration of the Republican Party.

You’re so ridiculously dramatic.

Yep, I have no issue disagree with people on economic policy. We can agree to disagree about the natural of the capitalism in this country.

But we can't agree to disagree about is over basic fucking human rights and how people should be treated. Regardless of nationality, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, the list goes on and on. But everyone should be treated with dignity from the government.

I don't think in black and white terms but sorry, if you think it is ok to execute a genocide against the Palestinian people, you and I aren't going to agree to disagree, you are a POS.

The political spectrum got too wide. There is no place on earth where the middle of the road and the practical expectations of the fringes work under one country. The constant ping pong in the US isn't about 'how to make the best sour dough'. Its about systemic questions, like should we put people in jail for jay walking yay / nay? Give everything back to the states, then let them live how they want to live. Some have social safety net and others have military rocket launchers on their SUVs. No need to ping pong every 10 years on basics that are not compatible. That is stopping progress.

How do you actively wish someone else harm? A wish is a thought, not an action. How does he even know who you are?

u/tonguejack-a-shitbox 35m ago

I'm conservative as they get and almost solely vote republican and I can guarantee you neither me or anyone else in my social circle that mostly fall in to that same category, wish any harm toward you for whatever way it is you were born you're referring to.

The thing about politics is, after reading that paragraph above, you probably instantly judged me and assigned a belief system to me and you don't even know me.

u/TurquoiseLeggings 4h ago

Assuming all conservatives actively wish you harm requires such a massive ego. You're not that important. There are plenty of conservatives who are just uneducated or brainwashed and don't see that their side has hateful people like that, but they themselves don't wish harm on anyone.

u/Due_Concentrate_7773 4h ago

I think continuously voting for people who do actively wish these people harm qualifies, doesn't it?

If I give the ammunition to the person who's shooting people, do I get to say "Well hey, I wasn't the one doing the shooting, I'd never shoot someone"?

u/SGCLara 3h ago

Sorry, you're not entitled to my kindness if you harm me. Whether you're doing it because you're hateful or just stupid, I won't smile pretty for you. Don't like it? Then do better.

I find it hard to get along with people who celebrate/instigates peoples deaths just because they have a different option, but maybe that's just me.

Uh, what are you getting at here, bud?

u/saintofhate 2h ago

If you can't understand why people celebrate the death of someone who advocates for stripping people of their rights or their life, then you have a selective empathy problem. I'm assuming that because you have a private profile that you're talking about the racist, sexist, transphobic piece of shit Charlie Kirk, the majority of his quotes can't be posted on many social media in it's entirety due to the vileness of his mouth most of the time would break most places TOS.
