Machete 07/28/20 8:44:04 AM #154:	asdf8562 posted... You're not helping to prove my point wrong..... The topic of immigration has been a subject long before Trump. I dont support Trump or his policies so he's irrelevant to my posts. Immigration is a big example to a complex issue. Even with immigration alone theres a lot to address. For example illegal immigration (a separate issue to HOW or IF they are deported) isn't an agreed upon subject. Just the simple topic of an immigrant crossing the border illegally is polarized by the 2 vocally loudest sides. "If you don't support immigrants pouring in illegally, you hate immigrants, you're a racist." "If you do support illegal immigration, youre a radical left who supports open borders." This logic that theres only 2 sides to an issue is no different than the logic our snowflake in chief uses. My stance is that it should be looked at on a case-by-case discretionary basis and I haven't seen anyone else on the left definitively contradict that or act as though it's this 2 sides issue as you describe it, while on the other hand everyone on the right that I see is "immigration bad and everyone on the left wants open borders!!!11!" so really with your two quotes there, the latter is absolutely true but the former is not something I've actually seen (other than as the right's assumptive perception of the left).

We're being led down the path of less economic security, worse health, and fewer civil liberties and rights by the right wing all across America. If you see all that, hear someone talking too much about pronouns and say "the left is losing me" then you are beyond help.</quote>Thank you. </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

"Its great you agree with me on x and y, but since you disagree on z, you are a bigot (or in Trumps and his cults goto counter argument, the radical left). THATS why some don't want to be associated with "the left." Not wanting to be associated with "the left" =/= wanting to associate with Trump or the right either. Contrary to the purity belief system the two extremes are working on, theres more than 2 sides. Like how our snowflake in chief has politicized wearing a fucking mask. This snowflake attacks members of his own cult the moment one of his religious followers have the audacity to disagree with even one thing his moron ass says. Suddenly he never liked them and theyre part of the radical left. Or some in this topic taking losing "the left" as, "Vote Trump 2020!"

When one side is "everyone should be able to live without worrying about medical care, food, or housing, also equal rights for racial minorities and LGBT people" and the other side is "you're all on your own, also more money for the ultra rich, and LGBT people don't deserve rights"... Anyone who is still in the middle has shit opinions. And no, I won't try and meet the middle in the middle, that slight sliding scale is what the DNC has been doing for decades and look at all the good that's done them the first time they end up against someone who has zero qualms breaking the law or precedence.

We call that a strawman. There's a lot in between where I am and where Trump is and I'm fine with most of that ground, even if I think they're wrong. I'm fine with Dems who want a public option, anti-abortion Dems, religious Dems, actual libertarians, etc. It's not about agreeing with me. What I'm critiquing is this idea that anything the American left or the Democratic Party is doing could justify an ostensibly "neutral" or "moderate" person to identify more with the current right than the left. When you look at what the right in this country is actually doing, it should be clear that there is no equivalence with the left. --- I gotta be righteous, I gotta be me, I gotta be conscious, I gotta be free, I gotta be able, I gotta attack, I gotta be stable, I gotta be black. <cite>legendary_zell posted [p:942694387] in The left i...
