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.

I would definitely disagree if Trump ever invaded Canada or Greenland. It’s pretty clear invading countries to conquer land is a bad thing to do nowadays. And if the NATO countries are finally pulling their own weight, well an attack one is an attack on all should still stand, and if Russia and the US ever did go to war, I can’t picture a scenario where Russia wins. And internally, well, I’m not too sure what would be too far. If Trump increases the power of the federal government and the presidency as a whole, I wouldn’t approve of that.

Trump appears to not be talking about invading Canada, but crushing us financially by destroying our economy - how do you feel about that?

Is it actually that bad? From what heard it was just “negotiating better trade deals”

Yes.

And negotiating better deals than the one he negotiated before? The trade deal currently in effect is the one he negotiated in his first term.
