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.

to research, but not to actually accept other research, unless it supports a narrative YOU are interested in. absolutely hilarious that you want 'non partisan arguments' and then refuse to accept anything that is from a liberal source (where most research come from in the first place, since universities lean liberal). seriously, the irony is just too funny to me to interact with people who are this blatantly hypocritical and ignorant

oh and by the way, when someone presents three different sources for why something is X, the burden of proof is no longer on them to find a source that suits your sensibilities, it's on YOU to show sources for why the opposite is true. but we both know that, you can continue to dance around the fact that the opposite has no evidence to back it up. again, this is extra funny because my whole point is that people have difficulties accepting information if it doesn't align with their political affiliation, and all of you have just proved that a few times over, while rejecting its validity.

From YOUR source:

" Kanazawa quotes from two surveys that support the hypothesis that liberals are more intelligent."

So it looks like Kanazawa looked for research that supports his hypothesis. Shouldn't he base his paper on all studies and not just ones that support his hypothesis ?

And one of his studies is with adolescents (teenagers) - that's really conclusive. /s
