Say something nice about opposing political party, something you find respectable

[hiphopanonymous]

Most people aren't so black and white politically and the political agendas of the parties often change overtime anyways so find a good point the other side recently made. It must be something you liked about the political party you side with the least often (or never at all) that you think they are or were on the right side of, or good at, or something along those lines that again, you actually liked. Let's see how this goes

[jstern]

There's nothing respectable, as all is manipulation by pathological liars. Only that this time around the Republican party happens to fall on the less evil side.

Where's the video of that oil executive who was tricked into thinking that he was interviewing for a job? it really shows you what fools the politicians who are all for the environment think of the public.

The same goes for the media.

Well, I will speak more towards long-term patterns and more towards ideology than party.

Conservatives say what they feel, which I respect. I often do feel it's cynical, but I don't mind them saying exactly how they feel. It helps me feel grounded and think about what a conservative would think & I try to be as pragmatic as possible.

As for party, I do like Republicans coming to the table with an opposing thought on almost everything. It makes me realize what the naysayers might think about something and try hard to appease to them. If you want a specific recent example then I would say the cost of the infrastructure bill. Democrats wanted to do a lot more in infrastructure bill, but the cost also went up too much. Republicans helped bring down the cost by pushing to remove things from the bill. You can't always possibly get everything you want in life, there just isn't enough time or resources for everything - you have to pick the most important things and let other things go. You have to be willing to negotiate so that's what I learned.

I dunno, but it BETTER not be Lebron or ima whup that ass.

[Patrick Chewing]

There is nothing nice I can say about the opposing political party. I believe they have become too radicalized and have radicalized their base that it's near impossible to sit down with them and hold an intelligent conversation on any issue facing us today. They attack Conservatives at every angle up to and including attacking certain amendments to the Constitution which we favor and respect. When the Constitution poses a threat to Democrats, you know you are not dealing with a moderate and open-minded political party at that point. You are dealing with zealots.

Most people I know aren't radical from either party. And the radical ones from both parties do indeed look insane but just show up in the news a lot but don't necessarily affect our daily lives and aren't spotted very often in day to day life. Where do you live that you think everything is so radicalized? You yourself seem pretty radicalized tbh based on all of your tinfoil hat theories I've seen lately lol which would make sense if you thought the entire opposition was extreme. Fighting fire with fire - that'll work.

[hiphopanonymous]

I vote republican for economics but when I see far sidedness trickle in especially when it comes to environmentalism / abortion rights / marijuana usage I believe they're almost always on the wrong side of it so I guess I'd say Democratic side gets those things right or at least they pretend to at the moment.

Like I said, these parties can flip flop historically on which stances they take on things so I often just think either side is simply trying to "win" by saying what their voters want to hear and most conservative voters I guess want to make and spend lots of money but also take a simplistic sunday school stance on things such as the land is theirs to pollute gifted to them by god, abortion is bad, and drugs are drugs.

Government mandates of a vaccine was laughed about by Nancy Pelosi herself just a year ago. Today, government mandates are in place. Imagine the reaction to government mandates 20 years ago. That's radical. The entire Left seems to embrace that. Eliminating the filibuster, creating more States, implementing more Supreme Court judges, all radical ideas, all from the Left. A national gun registry. Radical idea. The Federal government tracking transactions as small as $400 from every day Americans. Radical idea. All brought forth by the Left.


Find some radical ideas from the Right. Find some tinfoil hat theories that I've shared on here.

Democrats are more concerned about the natural environment. I'm not talking about climate change, that's a load of crap, I mean things like habitat protection, protection for endangered species, etc. That's good. Unfortunately that's the only thing they do that isn't deplorable.

I appreciate that you continue to post in here while in your elder years. It's respectable. I showed my grandmother and it is inspiring her to get on social media.

Where I live there are not a bunch of government mandates in place that are affecting my life in any way whatsoever. My life is literally the same as it was pre pandemic at this point that's why I'm a bit confused why you keep yourself so jacked up about how extreme the other side feels to you. Do you live in California or something where it is allegedly very liberally run? Or further north in Seattle perhaps?

As far as the tinfoil hat theories you just generally tend to view anything that appears to be a gaff from the conservative spectrum to be a "conspiracy" orchestrated by leftists or whomever and when the left end of politics has a gaff or problem you don't hesitate to blame them entirely for that as well. You view literally everything as a win win for your party and a huge sign of dysfunction from the other which is a sign that you aren't a good critical thinker because life just doesn't work that way and you should know better. Politics are far from perfect and at the end of the day it's just people trying to come up with solutions for problems and the truth is that most people from either "side" are pretty slanted towards the middle and understand that compromises and minor victories and minor defeats on certain issues are all a generally welcomed part of bipartisan politics. It's when you start believing everything is black or white that serious conflicts arise.

So you can't name any tinfoil hat theories, I got you. Gee, I've been saying that the Russian collusion narrative has been a farce since Day 1. Is that a conspiracy? Cause that's pretty much been my stance since Day 1. And the Left IS unhinged. There is serious dysfunction from that party and you'd have to be deaf, dumb, and blind not to see that.

And please, whatever shtick you're trying to employ here, it isn't working. Politics are far from perfect? People trying to come up with the best solutions? Let's hear those best solutions from the Democrats. Let's see what they have on the table with our best interest in mind. I'm willing to give credit where credit is due so long as it's real improvement and real change for the American people.

fck those fcking rat democrat parasites

nothing nice can be said about a bunch of brainwashed leeches. They literally watch illegal immigrants pour into the country for example, and cheer it on completely ignoring the word "illegal."

like what is there to say about something as small and simple as that? Why even have laws? They've lost their fcking minds and they need to be trapped on an island in the pacific

[iamgine]

Well Democrats serves well as a balancer on some issues up to the point when they didn't take it too far. Like gun control, I do feel guns need to be heavily regulated. And there are some positives that came out of the metoo movement.

[bladefd]

Conservatives in this thread only feel hatred - I don't think that's real-life conservatives on average.. You guys here are just nuts.

100%. Conservatives like Chewing are literal cancer to society. Guy sells melted rock fashion accessories from a pawn shop for a living (still not convinced) and thinks he's doing the lord's good work. :oldlol:

Just another ignorant moron who Jesus will give a reality check in the near future. I think he knows it but sees no way out. That's why he's so bitter. He's on the wrong side of things but can't let go of the greed. Also, the Knicks won't get a championship in his life time.

There's nothing respectable, as all is manipulation by pathological liars. Only that this time around the Republican party happens to fall on the less evil side.

Where's the video of that oil executive who was tricked into thinking that he was interviewing for a job? it really shows you what fools the politicians who are all for the environment think of the public.

The same goes for the media.

Precisely. Agree with you and Patrick Chewing's posts so far through this thread.

I will add this though, I don't see it as 'opposing' any more as opposing implies balance. That is my biggest issue. We have increasingly lost rationality and reasonable debate.

As to the Demicrats, I would like to say I respect them being in power - but the ends don't justify the means.

Respect is not the right word, but I am shocked how they have dumbed down society and outraged people enough to be blinded by a 78 year old senile weird man being President of now the 2nd most powerful nation on earth. This is a better tanking job than the 76ers, but that hasn't worked out for the 76ers either...

Repub's are typically conservative
Dem's are typically free open thinking liberals

And now you know why I am a conservative liberal.
