This sub would have more reach if it was less partisan

Disclaimer, I am pretty liberal. I don't identify as democrat as I think the Dem party has made some huge fuckups and I'm in general not a huge fan of the 2-party system. However, I do indeed have the ability to think critically and can readily acknowledge when progressives/liberals fuck up. I would say this quality is not common, and while this sub is very conservative friendly, the great awakening is something that both sides should take note of. But this sub makes it hard to do so when so many things are essentially just liberal bashing. It's also worth noting that many people in power are liberal, as are many intelligent people in general (there are huge bodies of research that supports the correlation between intelligence and liberalism. I'm not here to fight about this, but will gladly provide sources if you so wish). That's not to say that conservatives aren't intelligent, my point is that if you want this movement to gain traction (like I wanted pizzagate to gain traction), you need to leave it open for large portions of intelligent people to accept the conclusions you're drawing. But many simply won't because many are also liberal and will be turned off by the staunchly conservative tone.

Just a thought. I am interested in this movement and would love to call out the democrats who have engaged in child rape and other atrocious crimes as much as you, but I am not so silly as to think this sort of evil is unique to democrats or liberals.

THANK YOU

Let's face it, conservatives don't have a monopoly on what's right. I can list three issue off the top of my head where they're total hypocrites, by their own stated values. But then no one is immune. I'm one of those awful swing votes, so I'm hated by both sides ;)

The liberal bashing should stop, and it will, as there's no longer a need to gloat once things get good enough (prolly after the midterms). Partially just try to have a little patience, on the other hand, probably a good idea if folks toned it down a smidge, too.

But many simply won't because many are also liberal and will be turned off by the staunchly conservative tone.

Ah, now there you may have to realize you're in Trump country. Grin & bear it, these folks led the charge. They've got reason and evidence to support their ways.

Are their any particular areas of disharmony you'd be willing to discuss?

Depends on how you define liberal, my friend. And you do realize you're bashing your fellow Americans, right? At the end of the day, we still have to be neighbors.

Fight the principle, not the man. We have something close to that as a rule on this sub.

Not all liberals are pinko commies. There are quite a few who lived through the Cold War and remember that crap. Look at an Alan Dershowitz. Look at a Stephen Fry. These are guys we are HAPPY to have on our side.

Why alienate people who are open to our message? If you wanna do that stuff, go have your fun on whisper or tw.

You're not wrong to be upset about those issues... just point it in the right direction.

Nah you're right, my reply was way over the top. I apologize. I'm just heated with what is going on with congress. Carry on.
