    I really don't like people comparing Marge Greene with someone on the other side of the political spectrum and simply saying something like "well one is far right and the other is far left." No. One is a racist, wackjob bigot. The other believes in rights for people MGT discriminates against. It's not the same thing. 
    That’s what I was trying to convey! You said better thanks
    It just comes down to common decency for me. One of the reasons I left the republican party was because I could tell that these wackos were gaining more and more power and were trying to eliminate or lessen the rights of certain kinds of people. And while those on the far left might seem a little odd and I might not agree with them all the time, you can just tell that they were/are the ones standing up for those peoples' rights that are being challenged by the republicans.

    There’s no comparison between the two sides. Sure, they each have their extremes but there’s no way that you can compare any member of the squad with what the repubs have in Matt Getts Off, Maggie Three Names, Lorena Bobbit, George Costanza or Josh Hee Hawley.

    If both sides were the same, Al Franken would still be in the senate and even if he were, it’d be a huge stretch to compare the two parties’ extremes as being the “same.”

    This is exactly right. Any non biased, independent person should be able to come to this conclusion if they are being honest with themself. Problem is there plenty of people who are not honest with themselves

    The repubs, on the very eve of secession, were once known as the “Wide Awakes.” Fancy the fuck out of that! No wonder they’re currently so anti-“woke.”

    Rapinoe also didn't drop a flag.
    I recall the incident where Allie Long dropped the flag while doing a choreographed routine w/ Rapinoe, (& one of her teammates quickly scooped it up) but I don't think it was anything other than absent mindedness.. It sure as shit didn't LOOK like any sort of deliberate statement or action. 

    If Rapinoe dropped the flag, it's news to me. 

    In googling the incident, there were were also questions "Did Rapinoe stomp on the American flag?" so I'm thinking people took that Allie Long incident and tried to make it appear way worse than it actually was. (unless I'm missing a whole other incident... I'm open to being corrected here)

    Based on what I've read and heard, I'm inclined to think Rapinoe's been built up as another RW boogey man (boogey woman / boogey person?) by Fox News because lets face it... hating women like Rapinoe resonates w/ Fox's audience. 
    That was the incident.  I thought she was holding the flag.  The stomping thing I never heard about until now.  I watched that in 2019 so forgive me if I remembered wrong as I knew she was in the clip I watched live years ago.

    You and I are in 100% agreement on this.  What they did was a rather standard soccer trophy celebration.  Dipshits with an agenda turned that into "She hates America!" and that pretty much brings us up to today.  
    Not what I was saying but what I had remembered, which was partially correct but Rapinoe did not have the flag in her hand..  Never said she hates America either.

    I really don't like people comparing Marge Greene with someone on the other side of the political spectrum and simply saying something like "well one is far right and the other is far left." No. One is a racist, wackjob bigot. The other believes in rights for people MGT discriminates against. It's not the same thing. 
    That’s what I was trying to convey! You said better thanks
    There’s no comparison between the two sides. Sure, they each have their extremes but there’s no way that you can compare any member of the squad with what the repubs have in Matt Getts Off, Maggie Three Names, Lorena Bobbit, George Costanza or Josh Hee Hawley.

    If both sides were the same, Al Franken would still be in the senate and even if he were, it’d be a huge stretch to compare the two parties’ extremes as being the “same.”
    This is exactly right. Any non biased, independent person should be able to come to this conclusion if they are being honest with themself. Problem is there plenty of people who are not honest with themselves
    You guys are blowing this way out there...

    You have far left and far right, yes?  So you can compare them on a scale.  One is far left and one is far right.  On different points of a political scale which I tried to convey in that one is for LBGT rights and the other enjoys Gazpacho police.  It's not that hard of a concept to grasp.

    It's called a political spectrum.

    Do I understand you to mean that standing up for or kneeling with  marginalized communities, demanding equal pay or Equitable pay for equal work standing up for lgbtq folks of what she is a lesbian. That these are in fact far left extremist points of view basic human fucking decency is a far left extremist point of view?

    Alrighty then.
