Quote from: Bucky Cornstarch on January 21, 2025, 06:56 AMI don't know of many boards that have a left leaning politics section, mostly because my interests (manufacturing, motorcycles, road racing) cater to a largely affluent male crowd. I suppose if I dove deeper into forums that focused on some of my other interests (cycling, alternative music) I'd probably find more left leaning viewpoints, but where would the fun be in that?

There is another board I used to frequent and still occasionally visit that is nearly all politics. The number of right vs left isn't lopsided so the talking points from either side don't usually get too far. It's not as entertaining but for someone like me, who feels like they don't have a political home, it's a lot more fulfilling in that you get to see both sides of some well thought out arguments (some not so much) without the dog piles and trolling. There is some nonsensical stuff on there occasionally but when you have 1000 people or more posting you're a lot more likely to find someone who is better informed on some subjects.

I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

No shit. Never met a guy who is against everything but believes in nothing.

You've never met anyone who thinks for themselves and don't take their marching orders based on political tribalism? 

From my point of view, you're the sheep. I'd rather be labeled a fence sitter than support politics I don't agree with based on which party line they fall under.

Is that what your Reddit research says?

I don't understand why you think I'm a sheep because I believe in there being 2 sexes, legal immigration, justice for victims of crime, a superior military, a government who doesn't go after their political opponents , etc. I believe in those things regardless of political affiliation. In fact I am and was before Trump!

I don't actually believe you're a sheep. You're making shit up about me so I returned the favor.

You're one of the ONLY people on this forum that isn't left of center I've seen admit to thinking medicare for all (or something like it) is a good idea. TBH, I'm surprised that you didn't get criticized for it.

I agree with a lot of the same things you do but with some caveats. And just because I think Trump is a pile of shit for a human being, contrary to popular belief, it doesn't mean that I disagree with everything conservative.
