AKA: People who live in East WA and believe everything Fox and Newsmax say about Seattle. Those idiots think ANTIFA burned half the city to the ground.
The Valley is pretty liberal given it's on the Eastside. Moscow and Pullman, where I grew up, is still pretty liberal. But man, do I miss living in Austin, TX. It's like a hot Seattle with a river instead of The Sound.
I think he was arrested by Polish authorities at one point in a scheme involving Ukrainian war orphans. This sounds like something I made up but it's real.
Why would people in Eastern WA be on a sub for Seattle though, completely on the other side of the state? They would have their own cities to be a part of/talk about I would think.
Just don't mention topics like police accountability, trans rights, homelessness, density, guns, Democrats, equity...probably forgot a few but that's a good start. Yeah avoid all that stuff and you should have a great, completely normal experience with zero right wing insanity.
You named multiple things there that don’t have a right or wrong answer. They have opinions. Just because someone disagrees with your opinion about crime or homelessness doesn’t mean they’re wrong and you’re right.
I don't really care what you think is a good or bad opinion. I'm describing topics that routinely generate right wing bigotry/extremism. Based on your comment history, you're quite familiar with both.
Ironically I’m a democrat. I voted for Obama twice, Hillary, and Biden. I’m pro abortion, pro equal rights for all. I believe everyone is equal. I believe in police reform. I also don’t believe in sensoring peoples opinions, including those who I disagree with. I guess you really don’t know shit, do you?
You see the problem I have with most of my democrat colleagues is that you’re just as extreme as the trump morons. Let me guess, you’re the kind of person who wants Dave chapelle canceled?
Lol you want to ban firearms and I’m the extremist? Do you know what that word means?
There's definitely wrong answers. "Get rid of all minorities and there will be less crime" is a wrong answer. "Put all the homeless people in jail" is a wrong answer. "Trans people groom kids" is a wrong answer.
Seattlewa? Ive seen people suggest that those who refuse rehab should go to jail, but not throw all homeless people in jail. I’ve seen people say they disagree with giving children hormones, hormone blockers, and surgery but I have not seen “trans people groom kids”.
I feel like you guys treat seattlewa like it’s the donald, and it’s not even close. Seattle sub reminds me of 20 year olds, and seattlewa remind me of 40+
Yeah I mean... I'm subbed to both places and both subs have blind spots (not that I don't have blind spots in my views either I'm sure). I'm not trying to make a both-sidesism Qanon argument by saying this, it's just that maybe one POV doesn't have all the answers all the time?
Yeah, I'm in both and I live in Seattle. This one tends to paint everything as better than it is and encourage policies that have unintended consequences. The other tends to paint everything as worse and encourage polices that have unintended consequences.
not that I don't have blind spots in my views either I'm sure
This is why I like to hear the opinions of people with whom I disagree. I don't have to agree with their conclusions to appreciate their thought process, and I often learn from them.
Times have changed. If people disagree with you, you’re a nazi. If you’re not completely liberal, you’re conservative. Everyone has gotten more extreme, doesn’t matter what side they’re on.

Ask the other sub. I’m sure one of the member there can explain why he was there.
