When conservatives try to explain things nicely, liberals dismiss them as naive, overly sympathetic, and out of touch with reality.

When conservatives explain things not so nicely, liberals dismiss them as smug meanies who need to do more listening.

At what point are conservativesallowed to explain things?
Lol, see how easy it is to change it around and it comes off just as truthful?

Both sides are more similar than not. Just nobody wants to ad,it it.


Liberals and conservatives both run around with their eyes and ears covered and their mouths talking.

Liberals too often fall back to childish insults and cartoonish rhetoric, conservatives just repeat misinformation.

Misinformation plays better to the average person even if they think it's probably a lie

Why do liberals think they have all the information?

I'm neither liberal or conservative but the amount of hubris on the side of liberals sometimes astounds me...

Yeah...your keyboard makes it really easy to change the words around. But does it come off as truthful? Not really. I mean, the term "bleeding-heart conservative" isn't really that popular for a reason.

Both sides are guilty of operating in information vacuums, I think it seems to play out as it does because liberals make it competition and thus become antagonistic. It's win-or-lose, I'm going to prove to you why I'm right and you're wrong which too often lazily devolves into I'm good and you're bad whereas conservatives have a that's the way I think, I don't care what you believe attitude.

What "information" are you referring to?

If there is any hubris on the American left, it's that liberals constantly overpromise and underdeliver. They talk a big game about progressive policies and then refuse to actually fight for them because they're afraid of the political consequences.

Conservatives are the opposite. Their policies are trash to begin with, but propagating them yields great political rewards. So conservatives do what Trump does now---make dumb people believe in their ideology and then slyly backtrack when they get into office.

"Science is real and important."

"Science is a massive hoax perpetrated by China and the Devil."

:troll:Both sides are basically the same, c'mon guys.

THISSSSSSS!!!!!

i don't even consider myself liberal, but if you say you can't recognize the mass idiocy coming from the right, you're lying to yourself and everybody else...

It would have been more helpful to Dems if celeb liberals like Bourdian had challenged
the party and H. Clinton during the campaign instead of after.

Even Bernie wimpered into Dem obedience when it counted.

Lena Dunham/Bill Maher HBO cable smugness didn't challenge Trump -- in fact, it helped illustrate
his point about the media and their surrogacy for H. Clinton.

The American right is driven in large part by racial resentment of minorities.

How do you begin to find common ground with these deplorables?

fukk what about daub is talking about. We need to engage them aggressively at every turn and drag their asses kicking and screaming towards a more progressive society.

As liberals have always done with respect to almost all issues in America. We are usually on the right side of history. (Ending Slavery, workers rights, Social Security, Medicare Civil Rights etc)
