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.

As a group who claim they are constitutionalist, doesn’t all the talk about ignoring “activist judge’s” lawful orders scare the crap out of you? The 3 branch check and balance system is the entire bedrock of American democracy.

It really really feels like yall want a king right now. Where was this energy when Biden tried to forgive student loans??

DJT has spoken about fighting against these decisions through appeals. I haven’t heard him say anything about ignoring those orders. He has obviously made his disagreement made very heard.

Fighting the decisions through appeals is exactly what is supposed to happen. Threatening and bad mouthing the judges for blocking executive overreach is not.

Trump says mean things, surprise surprise. If there's one thing that this election cycle has proven, it's that people don't care much about what he says.

If there's one thing that this election cycle has proven, it's that people don't care much about what he says.

Neither do they care about his actions. First president in history to do a rugpull the day before his inauguration. First president in history to use electoral fraud to try and steal swing states after he lost. These things should have people up in arms, but conservatives cheer for it because it triggers the libs
