I honestly ask why?
I agree with HFD from another post somewhere. He said he gave the trump people he knew four years to convince him that you all weren’t bad and sadly after that long time of looking for the good we’ve found none. If you voted for trump you voted to continue racism and white supremacy.

As Obama himself said - not even the far right fringe extremists parties in Europe suppress votes or question democracy as the republicans do.HughFreakingDillon said:if you think biden or the democratic party is the left, study up on canadian politics a bit. our center right is your left.

and don't forget "you lost get over it." that's all we heard back in 2016.HughFreakingDillon said:the same reason we should be asking where was the olive branch when we were being called snowflakes, fuck your feelings, terrorists, thugs, communists, baby murderers, and the like?
it does go both ways.
I don't know which thread it was in, but i posted yesterday or the day before that i personally don't believe in mass-labelling. it's not necessarily about extending an olive branch to those across the aisle from you, at this point, it might be more effective to deal with your own house of dicks and stop them from being so fucking ignorant and angry at "the other side". i try to do that. i do it here, and i do it in analog life.
opposing sides won't listen to each other anymore. it's going to take the reasonable people on each side to calm down their own.

Did a quick search but too many postings to go thru. It was the night you posted in the middle of the night and drank too much. Maybe that will help you remember. You question every time I agree with you so you’ve made your point...won’t do it againHughFreakingDillon said:

Either way it's a radical leftist getting the blame0 -

as to your last statement, I honestly don't know what you mean. if I do it's certainly not intentional or just because it's you.

It’s fine. I’ve been accused of knowing too much about you all without having posted much. I like to read... and like people’s opinions so I’m not stalking anyone. I have the unfortunate ability to remember most of what I read, nothing like dates, days, numbers like marylou henner but a lot of what I read, if I think it’s interesting. I remember the first time you reprimanded me for basing some guy whose daughters were devastated when Ed got sick in London. So how fucked do you think my head is on a daily basis. 🙃Hahahaha it’s good to laugh at yourself first. Like I said, it’s fine.HughFreakingDillon said:

well if i can take anything positive away from this it's that I now know for sure that I treat most people as blank slates; I judge by the comment, not by the person, since i often don't recall usernames or avatars. It's weird though, i seem to have your same ability but only in 3D life. People often look at me like i'm an alien for recalling seemingly meaningless events or things people have said and people i've only briefly met.cblock4life said:

What's on 2nd.
The love he receives is the love that is saved0 -
interesting that the OP comes in and throws this bomb and didn't come back. i am not surprised. pretty typical actually.
after 5 years of being told to fuck my feelings, i can't give a shit about the op's opinions. and i am not sorry about that."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."0 -
and to answer the op question, why should he come around to joe?
he shouldn't. he can hang on to his shrinking, dying party for all i care."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."0 -
i keep seeing people posting this over the last couple years. what makes anyone think the GOP is shrinking or dying? trump got the second most votes of any candidate in history, did he not? how is that a dying party?gimmesometruth27 said:and to answer the op question, why should he come around to joe?
