Did you vote for Trump?

No, I didn’t. Now ask if I voted for Biden? Ask me if I voted for Harris?

I think we both know what you implied.
Again you made my point

We know you did.

Or are you going to pretend you are a libertarian?

I’ll just give one in my opinion . He loves to feed his base red meat. He loves the feedback from his crowd. He knows what will fire them up. And one of the things that fires them up is “owning the Libs.” And if you don’t think “owning the libs“ is divisive, then I don’t know what to say.

You know and I know the PT eats that up.

Epstein’s girlfriend knew exactly what she was doing when she went out of her way in the interview to say that ‘she admires Trump, and has always admired him’

Again, you have made my point. Attributing all left leaning views to a left leaning poster.

I voted. I did not vote for Biden. I did not vote for Harris.

I only recently started a Reddit account and found out that it's full of left-wing loons. It's so bad, that it makes me question if there's more loons than MAGAs. I figure a fair percentage are just bots. But, there ARE a lot of simple, fricking idiots in this country that think their a lot smarter than they really are.

I try to keep my Redditing to simple non-political things such as food, cooking, etc.

I don't even downvote 4cubbies, she seems harmless. Besides, nobody ever changes anyone's mind on the Internet.

I only read a couple of things like /r/AITA. I can tell that there are a lot of Asians in there based on comments about family structures that make their way into a lot of the posts.

I'm shocked the original article even got posted to MSN's aggregation engine. I'm sure someone will try to get it taken down.

We all probably know more people kicked/chased off of reddit than people actually on it.

Yes Reddit is a communist cesspool. But I still go there for porno.

Yeah I think a lot are bots but I don’t for sure. But it’s very easy to get banned.

I stick to the subs about guns and movies and sports.

Just to give you an idea of my leanings:

I am pro constitution.

I’m a strong supporter of the second amendment. I also support sensible gun control, mainly in the form of more strict background checks and waiting periods.

I am pro “the right to choose“. But only up to about eight weeks or so. Anything after that should be a medical emergency.

I am a big supporter of the right to protest, unless it involves physical violence or property destruction, or puts another person in danger. Yes I support illegal passive protests. But I also support consequences for those. The violent BLM and January 6 protests were reprehensible.

I support inclusion for LGBTQ. But not to the point of teaching it in school. Not to the point of a biological female or biological male participating in the other gender’s sports. Frankly, I don’t care how a person identifies. But I don’t think a biological male or a female should be allowed in another gender’s restroom. I like the idea of a third unisex bathroom.

I appreciate that some minority groups are at a disadvantage for various reasons. But I’m also against affirmative action.

I am a big supporter of one being able to criticize the government as much as they want. With no repercussions whatsoever, other than from others who express their opinion.

I support mail in ballots. I also support voter ID.

I support freedom of religion. Any religion. Anything related to religion should not be taught in public schools unless it’s in a history class. And in that case, all major religions should be given equal attention.

I support the right to be rude to LEO without repercussions. But I don’t recommend it.

I am pro LEGAL immigration. I support deportation of illegal immigrants. But not those who have started the process to become legal.

I will probably add to this

It may be for many progressives and their meanings may be different. But I specified mine.

So are you saying that people are much much lower SES, (majority are minority) are not disadvantaged? Because that’s what I specifically meant.

I specifically stated what sensible gun control is to me. Mainly in the form of more rigorous background checks and longer waiting periods. You can disagree. But that’s what I meant and spelled out.

Are you saying LGBTQ should be marginalized? Because not being marginalized is what I mean by inclusion. Definitely should not be given special treatment, but should be given the same opportunities as anyone else. That’s my opinion, although you can disagree.

Many liberals and many conservatives hate free speech. To be more specific- hate free speech when they don’t agree with it.

Hypocrisy knows no political boundaries.

I’m not trying to do a gotcha nor win an argument

I’m saying that you are using buzzwords without maybe even realizing it because they have been pushed into society for a purpose.

Here are related threads I started on the topic awhile back if you are bored:
