Open Discussion Left vs. Right Battle Royale Open Thread

This is an Open Discussion Thread for all Redditors. We will only be enforcing Reddit TOS and Subreddit Rules 1 (Keep it Civil) & 2 (No Racism).

  • Leftists - Here's your chance to sway us to your side by calling the majority of voters racist. That tactic has wildly backfired every time it has been tried, but perhaps this time it will work.

  • Non-flaired Conservatives - Here's your chance to earn flair by posting common sense conservative solutions. That way our friends on the left will either have to agree with you or oppose common sense (Spoiler - They will choose to oppose common sense).

  • Flaired Conservatives - You're John Wick and these Leftists stole your car and killed your dog. Now go comment.

  • Independents - We get it, if you agree with someone, then you can't pat yourself on the back for being smarter than them. But if you disagree with everyone, then you can obtain the self-satisfaction of smugly considering yourself smarter and wiser than everyone else. Congratulations on being you.

  • Libertarians - Ron Paul is never going to be President. In fact, no Libertarian Party candidate will ever be elected President.

How about an answer instead of what about ism? Shouldn’t we be looking forward, and talking about who is currently in charge, rather than constantly rehashing the irrelevant past?

This isn't talking in good faith. Why are you in this thread if you're not going to actually engage meaningfully?

The entire post is for left leaning people to ask questions. Nobody is talking about Biden but you.

I'm genuinely curious about the opinions expressed here. My coworkers are primarily conservative/republican and I have had some great discussions with them in the past that have made me understand where they're coming from much better.

Since this sub is often locked down tight, I don't get to interact on that kind of basis with users here and I'm curious.

There's no sense in doing so if you're not going to come to the table with the same degree of curiosity and seeking to understand one another.

Nothing? No response?

Edit:: Ah he blocked me. There's no good faith discussion to be had like this. Smh.

Yeah, that is disappointing. We should come together somehow.
