Yes, you are correct, I meant 2020.

Was it ever? It has always been light on substance and emotionally charged.

There is not much point in engaging in discussion with someone who thinks they have an entire group of people all figured out. It's a LOT of people. Treat them as individuals. Be well.

Controversial opinion, but the time to define policy was before running for president. Like she did in 2016, when she had better policies. Anyway, voting for her regardless over the fascist. KAMALA 2024! Woo. Hoo.

I would encourage you to be respectful regardless. No one will hear you if you are treating them with contempt.

Personally I think that low taxes and small government are valid perspectives. Unfortunately many Republicans are really only in favor of those things in theory, as long as they apply to liberal ideas. Regardless, I think it's important to treat them as human, listen to their concerns and respectfully point out their hypocrisy when it happens. In the end, everyone is trying to do what is best for themselves and their families, and are only viewing problems and solutions through the echo chamber in which they take part. The way forward will involve listening, respect, and a bit of compromise.

I bet Trump sold. He said he wouldn't, so he probably did.

You're afraid to have a discussion with them. You're afraid to have a discussion with me. People are going to disagree sometimes, and that's ok. The path of the coward is to cut people out forever.

Some of them did. It's not fair to treat any group as a monolith.

And feel free, coward.

Did the entire party storm the capital? You're no better than Trump when it comes to prejudice.

Not all GOP people are MAGA. Some of them are into low taxes, religion or guns. We risk some variation of civil war if we lump all of those people together. Try to see them as human.

As if Trump wouldn't do the same thing

Is it? It's on you to express your ideas in a coherent way.
