Which divide specifically?

2018-09-17 19:00:58 UTC  

The partisan gap.

2018-09-17 19:01:42 UTC  

Well, antifa needs to be destroyed by the FBI, for starters.

2018-09-17 19:01:51 UTC  

Antifa is a counterterrorism issue.

2018-09-17 19:02:19 UTC  

while i do want antifa taken down, that wont bridge any gap, that will widen it

2018-09-17 19:02:34 UTC  

We can't engage on civil terms when there's a constant threat of physical violence lurking.

2018-09-17 19:02:40 UTC  

the people that support them will decry it, no matter how soft the takedown is

2018-09-17 19:02:47 UTC  

i agree with you dev

2018-09-17 19:03:39 UTC  

i think the threat of that violence is the only reason i am here

2018-09-17 19:03:53 UTC  

Ending violence against Trump supporters is a non-negotiable precondition for any move to 'bridge the partisan divide'.

2018-09-17 19:03:59 UTC  

its the worst thing to come of all of this crap

2018-09-17 19:04:31 UTC  

that stance i can understand, not sure i could support it to that degree

2018-09-17 19:05:06 UTC  

im not trying to start crap, just in my head there has to be something that can be done

2018-09-17 19:05:21 UTC  

not that us on this board are going to be the ones to find it

2018-09-17 19:05:34 UTC  

There's also the fact that the SJW left is literally a cult and that makes any attempt to engage with it completely pointless.

2018-09-17 19:06:04 UTC  

but if people on a chatroom with similar interests cant even find the common ground... what hope is there for the people sittign on the edges of the extreeme

2018-09-17 19:06:25 UTC  

ya sjw has become a religion

2018-09-17 19:06:31 UTC  

no doubt about it

2018-09-17 19:06:36 UTC  

There isn't hope of that and realistically you shouldn't expect it.

2018-09-17 19:06:58 UTC  

well ok maybe not for the edgelords

2018-09-17 19:07:05 UTC  

but at least the people caught in the middle

2018-09-17 19:07:23 UTC  

we should be able to be saved without jumping in line

2018-09-17 19:07:46 UTC  

Yeah, you need to be able to moderate to some extent.

2018-09-17 19:07:56 UTC  

Who in the Dem Party represents the middle right now?

2018-09-17 19:08:11 UTC  

It looks like the Dems have already cut off the middle.

2018-09-17 19:08:13 UTC  

candidate wise or just people side?

2018-09-17 19:08:19 UTC  

@devpav Ask Lago, he keeps saying they're full of sane people but never really gives names.

2018-09-17 19:09:17 UTC  

The last name he gave was Warner and then I showed him Warner's internet regulation paper. But he claims to be in the Democratic party foot troops and likes who he meets. And he's always felt reasonable to me.

2018-09-17 19:09:25 UTC  

Start with their representatives in Congress. Who are the Dem centrists?

2018-09-17 19:09:29 UTC  

He was clearly bothered by that Warner.

2018-09-17 19:09:36 UTC  

Don't ask me. Ask Lago.

2018-09-17 19:09:53 UTC  

I thought I was talking to TylerC.

2018-09-17 19:09:55 UTC  

But you do need to be able to moderate. And find a way to share parts.

2018-09-17 19:10:12 UTC  

You're talking with both of us. I asked the question on behalf of Tyler if you remember.

2018-09-17 19:10:32 UTC  

Alot of the problem, and the whole reason I argue the right needs to scale up is because the left already has.

2018-09-17 19:10:50 UTC  

But if you can't find a peace, it's just going to be war until everything is ground down underfoot.

2018-09-17 19:10:51 UTC  

the right is way behind in that respect

2018-09-17 19:11:02 UTC  

thats my problem with it pratel

2018-09-17 19:11:10 UTC

2018-09-17 19:11:21 UTC  

nail on the head

2018-09-17 19:11:40 UTC
