I will speak politely with my sister-in-law, but her politics are so far up her ass that I have given up convincing her that the sun rises in the East and sets in the West. She believes what she believes, esp. in a magic sky pilot that hates women having autonomy over their health care decisions.

I want to hear diverse political view points so that I know what I am up against or, you know, maybe I failed to consider something. I draw a hard line at debasing, degrading and dehumanizing groups of people. Respect for the human condition is a minimum standard.

I'm a huge Beans fan. Love you and DG. I figure the Clean Up on aisle 45 pod will easily transition to #47. What will happen to the Jack pod? Could that also be transitioning due to the inevitable court cases that will come? You,Andy and Pete breakdown the laws in a way that is easy to understand.

Exactly this. All the chatter about trans rights, I get it and we should be able to openly discuss topics but peoples basic rights shouldn’t be contentious campaign matters.

The hypocrisy of those same people is that if you do try to discuss your beliefs with them, they have no problem with unfriending you themselves. I rarely block people online, but I have found myself blocked by over a dozen people that I now realize were just awful to begin with.

I have no problem having discussion and disagreements over policies, such as how much should be spent on projects, etc. I draw the line, however, as soon as someone starts pushing to remove rights and freedoms from groups of people and treating them as second-class citizens.

There are two opposing poles to this problem, MAGA is one communicating with MAGA is the other. Blocking willy-nilly doesn’t help the cause, education sometimes requires confrontation. Let’s keep in mind the humanity in others. #SemioticResistance

Only emotions do. This might the most brilliant innovation of the conservosphere this century. Facts don’t matter. Human rights don’t matter. What does matter are uptight white peoples’ opinions and Republicans Uber alles.

I disagree. Hard left, hard right- either way right now no one is listening to anything. Maybe in a few months or half a year, but no one is moving from their position even if it is against their own best interest

Besides, the Conservatives idea of getting along is D’s agreeing to everything they want or believe. ANY Dem sentiment is immediately bad policy. E.g. R’s hate paying for education initiatives, but our taxes paying for Christian private school, that’s OK.

Chicago or Detroit style. Everything else is just gross. Pizza, not people that is. The occasional brick oven pie is acceptable but you have to nail the ratio of char to unchar and the center needs the right amount of chew to the outside crisp. NY pie is an abomination.
