    Here’s the thing: If I don’t include that I’m a leftie I spend the whole time defending why i’m not a conservative and never actually discussing the topic.

    If I mention that I’m a leftie that disagrees with the main take: I spend the whole time defending why im not a conservative and never discussing the topic.

    NO ONE ENGAGES WITH THE SUBSTANCE OF THE DISCUSSION

    It’s damned if I do damned if don’t. This is cult behavior. If you disagree with my position, refute my position or provide an argument. There is no grace or charitability offered. Like, why?

    So many people on this platform spend all their energy in labeling but never discussing the actual points.

        FOR THE RECORD: I DON’T SUPPORT KILE RITTENHOUSE; I THINK HE’S A POS

        The fact that you automatically assumed that from the get-go is ALL I NEED TO KNOW about how much you care about reality or facts.

        The ONLY thing you talked about is if is this guy really left or not?

        You’re a self-proclaimed leftist who supports a fascist who murdered other leftists at a BLM protest.

        No, they are addressing the facts. Notice how you don’t mention the facts at all, you mention a narrative: sticking people in boxes and then taking sides. You’re all but outright admitting the facts are secondary, at best. Just like a good trump supporter.

      spend the whole time defending

      You’re defending your braindead ideas, not ‘which social group you’re in’; it’s irrelevant.
