Antifa is a counterterrorism issue.

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

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

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

i agree with you dev

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

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

its the worst thing to come of all of this crap

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

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

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

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

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

ya sjw has become a religion

no doubt about it

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

well ok maybe not for the edgelords

but at least the people caught in the middle

we should be able to be saved without jumping in line

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

Who in the Dem Party represents the middle right now?

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

candidate wise or just people side?

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

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.

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

He was clearly bothered by that Warner.

Don't ask me. Ask Lago.

I thought I was talking to TylerC.

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

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

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

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

the right is way behind in that respect

thats my problem with it pratel

nail on the nead with your last line

nail on the head

cant edit from this screen for some reason, not on my laptop atthe moment

Agreed, which I why I have been trying to argue for more activism and organization. You have to be able to scale or it's going to just be bullying. You also need to be able to find the peace.

I think the left already believes it's in a total war.

It does.
