I have to ask you, regarding telling me I am a democrat… why do you feel the need to ? Why do you feel compelled to reject what I am saying as being political and liberal when I tell you it isnt?

Who decides what they are and what believe?

You guys were sure that professor was obviously a progressive, until we proved it wasnt that simple, right?

You said you had beliefs that didnt fit nice and neat into a box. I think you should have the freedom to believe different things without you having to be one thing or another.

@kjayhawks my point about “if the roles were reversed” logic is that we are framing this as a dichotomy, when it isnt one. We are conditioned to separate everything seemingly even remotely related to politics into two groups, and then we are conditioned to align ourselves with one of those groups and reject the other.

“I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK?” Trump remarked at a campaign stop at Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa. “It’s, like, incredible.”

Hate begets hate; violence begets violence….

And dumbass half baked comments about shooting people begets the same.

This isnt political. Its a sense of freedom to say whatever the hell insensitive thing that crosses your mind in a public forum. Only one of these two people got publicly canceled and lost their job for it.

@kjayhawks so the “if the roles were reversed logic” argument doesnt really apply here right?

Its also a possibility that he votes democratic but registered republican so he could vote against Trump. Who knows? But its not as cut and dry as hes this or that.

@FarmerJayhawk appreciate you looking it up.

@kjayhawks I appreciate the framing of the question in counterpoint, but I think the right is eager to go after this guy, not entirely to condemn threats of gun violence but to make it be like “both sides are doing it”. I still have no definitive proof that the guy is actually a liberal. He doesnt appear to have a social media profile I can find. I think people want him to be liberal.

So are you guys saying the 2025 class is going to be special?

The problem with the parties is that it has created an artificial dichotomy. Why does a pro-lifer have to be pro gun? Why does a fiscal conservative have to be social conservative? Etc.

2 arbitrary camps of positions, because thats how the chips fell and not because the alignment of those positions make much sense.

@dylans umm dont think ignoring thread is feature but i moved post to politics. You can ignore category, first icon next to category.
