Biden Drops Out of Race

There are a lot of similarities between the Trump base and the left's base, where they simply twist themselves to support what the party commands

But overall, there are tons of ideological diversity among people from the right that I do not see from people on the left. This very board is illustrative - me, thethe, aces, chop, tapate, garmle, etc actually debate multiple issues, disagree often. foreign policy, social entitlements, trade policy, foreign policy, pro life policy and on and on

wheras you, nsacpi, runnin, 57, zito, etc are all in lock step. Trans the kids. Masks work. the border is fine. Trump is an existential threat. Guns are bad. aboriton is good. There's nothing to see on covid, and on and on

Zero self reflection.

They believe what they are told and can't explain why they do.

I think this is unfair. You might think my reasons are bull****, but I don’t believe I simply come here and spout the line of the day without any justification for why I believe something.

You’re quite literally pointing to several positions I don’t have right now.
 
You’re quite literally pointing to several positions I don’t have right now.

Do you support transitioning kids who identify as transgender?

Do you think masks were effective in stopping the spread of Covid?

Do you think the border situation is a crisis?

Do you think Trump is an existential threat?

Do you think there should be more gun control?

Do you think there should be restrictions on abortion?

Do you think covid was covid was a conspiracy to trample American rights?
 
Do you support transitioning kids who identify as transgender? If properly diagnosed by medical doctors, yes.

Do you think masks were effective in stopping the spread of Covid? Not in hindsight. It’s possible it helped, but clearly not to the extent that we were told.

Do you think the border situation is a crisis? No

Do you think Trump is an existential threat? No, I just hate his policies and think he’s a generally bad person.

Do you think there should be more gun control? Yes, but not to take guns. I would treat firearms similar to driving. You have to be trained and certified and that right can be lost.

Do you think there should be restrictions on abortion? Too vague. I don’t believe in souls and don’t think fetuses are developed enough to completely eliminate it, and worry about the practical complications that a ban creates. But I think more should be done to stop women from feeling that they need to do so.

Do you think covid was covid was a conspiracy to trample American rights? No. I think many of the response efforts turned out to be misguided, but I think most people in charge generally did the best with the limited information they have.

I think I pegged your views pretty clearly
 
saying "in hindsight" is meaningless when you were believing it at the time. the authorities told you what to believe and you listened dutifully, while I was constantly being mocked at the time for mocking the idea of masks being useless

I’ll be sure to get my degree in virology before the next global health crisis.
 
As a reminder, the claim was that we all believe solely what we’re told and have no reason for believing it beyond that. Me disagreeing with you on these cherry-picked points doesn’t mean I haven’t reflected on why I disagree. I also break from the Left on several of those points.
 
Oh wow, you knew where I stood on a bunch of topics you’ve seen me react to in the past. Where can I get such magical powers?

Correction. I know where you stand AND all the other leftists on this board stand on each major issue. Fully aligned
 
In real time, did you believe

Trump colluded with Russia?
The hunter Biden laptop was fake?
That Jussie Smollet was attacked?
That a noose was hung in Bubba Wallace garage?
That a 16 year old disrespected an indian?

There are dozens of these

Paul Pelosi and his gay lover say hello.
 
there is nothing wrong with being wrong and admitting it

for example, I was bigly wrong when in the spring of 2020 I said I didn't think covid deaths in this country would exceed 100,000....so far covid has killed over a million americans and 7 million worldwide...so i was off very bigly...by an order of magnitude

I was never a Trump collusion guy. I think he welcomed whatever help he could get, and Russia was happy to provide it, but that he didn’t do anything illegal.

I was apparently wrong about Hunter’s laptop, but I think it’s reasonable to be skeptical of some guy just popping out of the woodwork to claim he has an abandoned laptop with a bunch of evidence on it. I also don’t believe there’s any proof to date that Joe Biden did anything illegal in that.

The other three I didn’t really question because I don’t make a habit of starting my own personal investigations into street assaults, misdemeanors and non-crimes. Fortunately journalists were able to sort that out for me.
 
By the way, it’s still weird to me that people bring up Jussie Smollet like we all should have seen it coming. When I hear someone was assaulted, I generally don’t make the leap to “he’s a ****ing idiot and psychopath that paid people to beat him up so he could hopefully get more famous” because that’s not generally how it goes.
 
The ABC news coverage is nauseating. It's incredibly shameful and journalistically unethical to frame his step down from the race as anything other than a Democratic party coup.

The story was so outrageous anyone with a brain should I have known it was fake.

The others are just the same
