It's the corrupt authoritarian piece that is despicable

Debate civilly with one another.

I am saying the most popular member of the DNC is calling for re-education camps, and blacklisting private citizens of the opposing politcal party and beliefs. this is dangerous and awful. This is what Mccarthy was crucified for. McCarthy was probably right though because he knew it would lead to this shit. https://www.npr.org/2020/10/11/922849505/healing-u-s-divides-through-truth-and-reconciliation-commissions

@SPEARS, you just advanced to level 4!

and yes this is turning into a party platform

and no, calling this out isnt right wing fear mongering

This is not a platform where we allow vehement rhetoric between sides, it's not conducive to productive discussions.

So please refrain from throwing insults at one another.

If you feel like you cannot debate or discuss civilly, please take a moment to relax in real life before continuing.

maw there is a line that zulu and the other leftists constantly cross. by belittling and demeaning people who actually have a more informed opinion than they do. they do it constantly. any time at any hour I check chat and zulu is in here being an arrogant prick from a holier than though position that he isnt even informed about

if they wish to do this they deserve to be called out and belittled as well

You're doing it right now by saying they're uninformed and their opinion means less.

I belittle no one.

@SPEARS I was reacting to the false dichotomy that all aspects of socialism are bad. We have a mixed structure that includes aspects of socialism and have from the start. The left trying to win every argument by calling conservatives fascists or authoritarians is just as bad as the right calling all liberals socialist and commies. It's counterproductive to what we can accomplish otherwise.

yes maw, that is my point. they are bullying and shutting people out with other opinions than themselves.

Again, please abide by the channel rules that are in place. What you do between yourselves that doesn't occur in here is up to you.

I can guarantee you that she is not the most popular... she is the most newsworthy to both the MSM and RWM for different reasons.

never does zulu provide sources to his claims

What goes on in here is different.

she is the most popular DNC member, but that doesn't mean she has the most power

she broke records on twitch

The tech platforms only masquerade as having classically liberal values.

None of my claims require sources, not that I am obligated to provide them in the first place.

That seems to be a trend.

zulu when you insinuate that people that have a different opinion than you bought into propaganda and that your opinion is bulletproof you need to back it up

You are making my point... she is newsworthy because she is provocative. That's all.

yes talon thats what popular means

Large corporations are run by dictators.

I disagree. The opinion is as valid as the the one I am addressing.

He only needs to back it up if he wants to be taken seriously.

@SPEARS I for one have been advocating getting rid of low population conservative states. They don’t represent the majority of America and constantly get in the way of any meaningful progress. Yet they currently have a tyranny of the minority currently

You are not required to find his opinion valid.

Stop. Name-calling, please. Final warning.

all he does is de rail conversations and provides zero substance

@james j please outline what the majority of Americans think?

I mirror. It's not by accident.

But that doesn't automatically mean that it has an effect on policy. I don't equate popularity with policy.... Q Anon is wildly popular and picked up many seats in the House. i would not make a claim that the Republican party is becoming the Q party, as a result.

funny, because low pop rural conservative areas dont give a fuck or care about what you do. however the coastal blue areas are OBSSESED with dictating the lives of people that live 1000s of miles away

Omg not q

I mean representation of values @TaLoN132 we currently certain values (a minority of people) dictating their values to the majority of people

yes, popularity does not equal power
