Curious what my fellow Dems think, and independent intellectuals such as KVB.
Gun to my head I would unapologetically say YES, 100%

Yes And not living in realityComment -
The question should be more is dividing people you know into two categories liberal and conservative a disease and bad for the health of the community?Comment -
Your Birthing persons would be proud.....Comment -
good day to dive deep down to the cesspool of sbr todayComment -
Always remember there’s a direct correlation being liberal and being a very weak person because liberal beliefs are weak beliefsComment -
But being a conservative and believing in make believe mythical characters and deciding how you live your life based on these mythical characters is not weak? The fact that you trust blindly some rhetoric with absolute no proof would make me think it’s the same follow the sheep mentality as liberals get accused of.Comment -
Only sheep need shepherdsComment -
COVID 19 is a virus.Comment -
A liberals like a Nerf football
A conservative it’s like a brickComment -
Life is not fair, period. Never was, never will be. In that way, the far left is delusional. I like to say everyone deserves opportunity, not outcomes. Many people start from a much lower place. It is like a handicap. People can start down 30 pts, and come back to win, but it is a hell of a lot harder. Yet they are still given that opportunity to be in the game. Being allowed in the game is everything. There was a time in America many weren't, now they are, and that is what I love to see. Sports and life are very similar. Mix of nature and nurture, but more than anything WILL.Comment -
yes
but being human is a disease tooComment -
I am all for blacks getting opportunities but just not given stuff for nothing or undeserving
Many think I could be a mild DemComment -
I consider myself mildly liberal, but if your argument is that the far left has gone too far, I'd agree with that. It's an over-correction for problems that have existed for too long, but at least it tends to come from a place of tolerance
Racism is a far worse and more harmful disease, but y'all don't seem to mind that this forum is filled with hateful bigotsComment -
Ironically the left has no tolerance now. If you aren't 100% on-board, you're a far-right nazi. Its out of fukking control.
My main problem with liberalism right now is that they're attempting to tear apart fabrics of reality.
Ofc racism is a huge problem, no denying that. There is a helluva lot of racism here and everywhere.
But I cant deny that liberals, and by extension a lot of Dems, tend to throw the racism card out without any thought or support for doing so. I've certainly done it and see it a lot.Comment -
America is the least rascist country in the world. I'm tired of hearing that b.s. If it's so rascist and unfair here than fukin move somewhere else.Comment -
Progressive here. far lefttt on most issues. far right on someComment -
Kraken, lets face it. Racism was here since the beginning of time. It isn't ever going away because people don't all think the same. Is it right? No. But I find it mighty ironic that a guy like LeBron James, who is one of the most hateful and racist motherfukers on the planet, can go out and say whatever the hell he wants in the name of racism. The race card is used so much now it has blinded many of these clowns so badly, they can't even see how racist they are. So who is really racist now? Is it the racists or the racists?Comment -
Liberals = complete madnessComment -
Yeah, there's a lot of truth to that, and it's part of what I'd call the over-correction. It started from a place of being pro-equality and all that, but in the pursuit of all forms of "anti-bullying", the far left have often become the bullies themselves, harassing the shit out of anyone who dares use a word they consider wrong or discriminatory
In many cases it's misguided and extreme, sure, but the forefront of the whole movement are enthusiastic Gen-Zers. I expect them to be misguided and extreme. They're young and naive and don't know any better. It's far from perfect but I'll still take that over the other side of the coinComment -
because this country have more economical opportunities than their countries. I think racism is perpetuated by the media and all the white right wing men are so gullible, it riles them up and then they spew it out all over the place saying they are a dying race. stop perpetuating this shit. You are part of the problem too. whe. Italians and Irish came to the US they were treated like dog shit but still better than any black. Eventually, the prejudice towards the Irish and Italian went away completely. That's all most African Americans are fighting for and yes it does take some complaining and marching, time is the master of everything though, so I see everything slowly changing for the better. Bottom line, stop feeding into the God damn division. Live your life and love your fellow manComment -
Part of the problem of any argument is definitions of words. I rarely see definitions given or asked for, and the debate is usually toxic, unproductive and circular.
A primary problem in the racism debate is that everyone has their own definition of what racism is. And if we're all using different definitions, then ofc we disagree, we cant even agree on a simple definition
Ex A lot of woke motherfuckers on the left have attached the word "power" to the definition of racism. And in society white people hold power so by that definition, only white people can be racist. Black people can be prejudiced but not racist.
Im not saying I agree or disagree with the above, and am not interested in turning this thread into another racism thread tho, just giving a quick example.
Im more interested in hearing from fellow progressives on whether they feel as if they're being alienated by liberalsLast edited by The Kraken; 06-29-21, 11:02 AM.Comment -
In theory, if everyone worked the same amount and gave the same output, liberalism would be great
problem is that is not practicalComment -
Rudy you're nothing if not practical
And I like thatComment -
Agreed. It is out of hand these days. People using this as a tool for monetary gain and other agendas at an alarming rate. It has derailed the actual case. We have seen it with several movements lately. It has only made the divide greater and put out more hate. This world is getting out of control.Comment -
America is not a racist Country anymore. We are not Germany like in the 50's. Liberals and fake news created a false narrative today with the help of BLM and Antifa which are slowly getting exposed for being total crap finally.
Blacks today have as much opportunity as whites if they apply themselves. Liberals are the worst with cancel culture and over playing the race card.

This statement would have at least a tiny bit more credibility if you were black. Cause I think there are around 50 million of them who would disagree with you based on their own experiences. They must all be biased and delusional. And accidentally running into stray bullets from copsComment
