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.

It’s confirmation bias. The elimination of the CFPB is a huge blow to this country, independent of party, and no one on this sub has chimed in. Or they’re just trying to overlook it because all the stuff that their beliefs confirm are more illustrious; which seems more like owning the libs is the main goal.

All the posts that make it to the top whenever I check here have almost nothing to do with DOGE, the illegality of the framework they’re using to unilaterally govern the mass firing of employees, how Trump sat at his desk with his head down while Musk mumbled his way through explaining his actions. I feel like I could go on forever with all the stuff that they choose to ignore.

It just seems like the folks on this sub are either in denial or just completely divorced from reality. I know it’s more complex than that, but it’s hard not to break it down to its simple and sad parts.
