Quote from: beej on January 03, 2025, 07:05 AMIt's not hard to know what you think, it's right there in your posts. why would anyone think that you are anything other than a progressive democrat?

The only thing I can tell for sure, is that he doesn't have a lot of respect for the fringe of the Republican party and even less for the MAGA crowd.  That doesn't make him a progressive.  :shrug:

It's possible that I'm just being naive?  :D  If I had to make an assumption, I'd guess that he's more left leaning but I would be throwing a dart at the wall.
I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

The one thing that I know for sure, is that I know a LOT of people that are in the center. Center right and center left. I've never seen people with near center views, troll. If Bucky wants to show me why his not progressive left, he is welcome to do that, but he really doesn't really do question and answer conversations. Not on here anyway.

You should invite your centrist friends to this forum. I'll bet they pick up the "troll" tendencies in pretty short order. :)

As far as honest conversations go, very few people here want that. The vocal majority want an echo chamber and if they hear anybody interrupt that echo, well, you know what the responses are. :)

Personally, I would rather have conversations with people I disagree with than people who see things the same as I do. There is real value is understanding both sides of an argument.

You do understand that I am under zero obligation to explain myself or quantify my political leanings, right? You are aware that this is the internet, and that part of the fun is toying with those that allow themselves to be toyed with? (Thank you for that, BTW)

My experience is that conservatives in general, Republicans in particular, and Trummpsters specifically, have never proven to be particularly honest, self aware, or even bright. So, they might get the brunt of my criticism. Now just happens to be a magnificent time where all of the Trumpsters are displaying their colors proudly, flocking together in the shine of their victory, and chumming in the cesspool of misinformation and hyperbole that they seem to thrive on.

I just happen to be enjoying this period in history as you are, albeit for different reasons.

So no criticism of Biden/Harris and Their supporters?  I think we know where you stand. That's fine. Just admit it.

They probably have a Biden/Harris poster on the ceiling above their bed.
