    Validity of Left-Right Divide Concerns

    Here is the official Republican Party Platform document for 2020, which appears to be largely the same as 2016. https://prod-cdn-static.gop.com/docs/Resolution_Platform_2020.pdf?_ga=2.165306300.2055661719.1598124638-455285808.1584478680 By jove, you're right. It is in fact listed on there as a...

    Validity of Left-Right Divide Concerns

    No, Conservatives want SCOTUS justices who actually read the bloody Constitution, for two primary reasons; gun control and abortion. A third one added this year, is protection of religious freedom, since the Democrats now feel confident enough to start moving against that. Trump was the first...

    Validity of Left-Right Divide Concerns

    Some people simply refuse to accept the idea that a lot of people's problems, are purely self-inflicted. They think that if person A is suffering, not only must it be someone other than person A's fault, but that person A's suffering cannot be ended without someone else's help, almost certainly...

    Validity of Left-Right Divide Concerns

    Because whether or not people are starving is being questioned as 'is this a valid concern or not?' I'm arguing that it only is for a tiny minority of people, not enough that we should be doing crazy things like restructuring the entire economy over. I think Arxxy is arguing something like...

    Validity of Left-Right Divide Concerns

    Diet patterns can be habit-forming, but to compare them to crack is disingenuous. Especially because almost any food out there you can eat healthily if you eat it in moderation, so it's a lot easier to still keep a little bit of what you're so fond of in your diet, while shifting the mainstay of...

    Validity of Left-Right Divide Concerns

    You do not know what you are talking about, and blank assertions with no substantiation are not an argument. It takes minutes to prepare food that can feed you for days. People absolutely have the time to do it. The idea that there are statistically significant numbers of poor people run into...

    Validity of Left-Right Divide Concerns

    Alrighty then. (All of this post is regarding the US, not the world at large.) So, I see people pushing the 'lack of access to affordable healthy food' BS again. I understand that some people end up at this conclusion, because they're exposed to large amounts of media that paint a grim...

    Validity of Left-Right Divide Concerns

    I don't think I could support government programs like that; I've seen too many perverse incentive feedback cycles to do so. However, if it was handled at the state level, rather than Federal, I could perhaps say 'I'll abstain from this issue and let you try.' Actually, if it came as part of...

    Validity of Left-Right Divide Concerns

    So, I'm going to have to chime in her on the theme, The overwhelming majority of people will not work if basic essentials and very basic entertainment are supplied. They will vote for themselves to get more and larger subsidies. They will riot for such things. They will go out and steal such...

    Validity of Left-Right Divide Concerns

    I think that any form of promiscuity, heterosexual or homosexual, is unethical. I also am not going to hate somebody for falling to that temptation. Lord knows I struggle with lustful thoughts myself. I like to use anger as a comparison. Just because you feel lust, does not mean you should act...

    If you'd like to set aside other people's arguments with you for a moment then, what would your response to the links I posted a couple pages back be?

    Validity of Left-Right Divide Concerns

    I cannot think of any other system of government that has managed to starve its people en masse like socialism has. 'Your people are dying by the million' is the most terminal kind of failure I can think of, and on those grounds, I cannot think of any form of government worse than socialism.

    Validity of Left-Right Divide Concerns

    You have demonstrated yourself capable of responding to disagreeing positions with calm 'I disagree' statements. Congratulations, you aren't part of the problem with today's political discourse. Honestly, in my experience, most leftists are like you. Leftists in power though, have shown a much...

    Validity of Left-Right Divide Concerns

    You asked for some specific views people often feel afraid to express around leftists/in leftist controlled spaces. I'll offer a few: 1. Trump is not Hitler. He is not a fascist. He is not an authoritarian. He's a somewhat abrasive type-A personality who has a policy of hitting back against...

    Validity of Left-Right Divide Concerns

    It has never (in America) been the position of the right that the left are faceless monsters. Sure, there are fringe elements who argue that, but it's never entered the platform of the political right in any phase of our history that I'm aware of. The dehumanization, hysteria, and mass violence...
