That's all it is.
Why is that a source for frustration?
my wife mainly reads CNN website
and watches Colbert
it's tough
But even when I show the data I’ve seen it’s like talking to a wall... I find any form of media gaslighting extremely frustrating. I am aware that I have a bias... I really don’t like Biden
No belief system is rational.
Socrates showed that.
You presenting data is a drop in the sea compared to what your opponent have absorbed over a lifetime.
Yes, you sound like a very intelligent person in psychology?
Im a psychiatrist.
But this is free.
That’s a very good point
Doc's the bomb...
(That's a good thing)
haha
bombs are always good.
@Beth You present gigabytes. A lifetime is Yogibytes. No way you can compete.
I have to make sure I don't make any assumptions with the colloquialisms..
I’m new to politics this year.. The pandemic/lockdowns was the door opening for me so I’m looking at this with fairly fresh eyes
Yes!
I agree but I also think this is the challenge that makes or breaks it
if you can't get your party to stop consuming the opposition party newspapers, you are screwed
@Beth Here is a rule of the thumb: a political discussion is constructive if, and only if, the object of both is to understand - truly understand - eachothers standpoint.
@realz Always... can always count on the glass half full perspective. Stop being such an optimist.
It's a game.
Being angry at what people believe is like being angry at the tide for coming in, or being angry at a tornado for destroying a town.
lol I see this as the first opportunity we have had in forever to rectify the situation; the right finally has had enough
There seems to be a communication problem in my house to say the least 😂
belief systems can be rational, but people don't just follow rationality to create beliefs
We?
@Beth Four reasons people communicate: submission, mastering, negotiation or shared experience.
We the country
we need to fix our media
we can do this buy not respecting the partisan media as neutral and exposing them as partisan
That mask came off in 2016
