Except for the fact that things like being anti-abortion and anti-lgbt rights are literally part of the Republican platform.

thanks for illustrating perfectly how Republicans are the party of restriction of liberty and rights.
You still haven't addressed why those things would matter, though.
because you can't have democracy without freedom. Might as well be North Korea without it.

I'd prefer liberals be condescending towards others instead of conservatives actively denying rights to others.
Thanks for proving my point.
Except nothing I said was wrong. The Republican party is the party of restricting rights and freedoms.
We could talk about why that is objectively not true, but then you'd just accuse Republicans of allowing too many dangerous rights and freedoms.

Instead I'm going to ask you why rights and freedoms matter.
Please remind me which party wants to overturn the SCOTUS rulings on Roe v Wade
The Republicans, in order to protect what they see as a child's right to life.

and Obergefell v Hodges.
I'll give you that, and I'll also point out that gay marriage doesn't matter. Like, at all.

Please remind me which party cut the Voting Rights Act?
I'll have to admit that I don't know enough about the VRA or the politics around it to comment, but I doubt it's as simple as the "Basically Republicans don't want blacks to be able to vote" shit Huffpost tried to sell me when I googled it.

Quote
Remind me which party wants to require ID to vote.
This is just being reasonable, and I'd argue that that doesn't go far enough.

At least Democrats don't have the gall to claim to be the party of liberty and freedom while acting directly against those values.
They do though.

Rights and freedoms matter because that's the foundation of our country.
And then you'll probably turn around and tell me the 2nd amendment is outdated, and the removal of native americans was a genocide, and the founding fathers were actually bad guys because they owned slaves. There's a lot more to the founding of the United States than those "rights and freedoms" that YOU and your faction consider legitimate. Do not appeal to it unless you are willing to address or embrace those discrepancies.

We are not longer the United States of America if we turn away from rights and freedoms.
lmao you sound like Rand Paul

This is not a case of bad apples spoiling the tree. Just because every Republican in the state of Mississippi wants to kill all blacks doesn't mean every Republican in Wyoming wants too but that's what your posts are implying. Even if negative opinions represent a majority, you can't just say that everyone in that party is in their for those reasons. That would be incredibly false.

So states like North Carolina and Indiana and Georgia are acting in the best interests, freedoms, and rights of their people with their recent laws against abortion and LGBT protections?

It's not limited to federal politics.

But Republicans think that absurd cost and damage to the economy is worth not having those damn wetbacks taking our jobs.

Many do, yes, and they need to learn that they're wrong.

Correction: Republican Federal Politicians are in the business of doing that. Federal representatives are the most out of touch with their constituents, and if you were to poll every single person who is registered under the party you would get more than enough that aren't about restricting freedoms to make that statement false. You might even get members of the party that are part of the minority groups that you claim are being attacked by said party.

Political parties and the people in them aren't as black and white as you're trying to make it out to be.

Wew lad.

I never said one was right, I was saying one is less shitty.

I thought Republicans hated all that "muh feelz" shit from the SJW-left. Why do they care about people being condescending?

I love when Sep7 tries to talk about transgenderism.
I love how this is all you can ever say when there's a thread like this.
Because there's nothing to be said. Attempting to convince retards that transgenderism is not a mental disorder is a fool's errand.

"You can talk about anything you want"

LOL
Can we talk about how any race can be racist, it doesn't require a position of power?

..No?

oh ok.
zzz, theres an important distinction between racist thought/action as a fundamental concept and the presence of institutional racism as an extension of a dominant race/ethnicity's power
You're right. But there's a not-insignificant number of people from the Sapphire crew that insist that racism = hatred + power.

Can I at least put an insult on the insult thread?

"No, you might offend someone"
I wonder how they feel about being critical of Jews who basically hold airplanes hostage because they don't want to sit next to women. They're probably fine with that...right? [I actually got a warning and a thread removed on b.net for that one, lol]

I don't know, shall we find out?

but it's different depending on where you live

so do you mean the US or UK or some other place?

and if it's he US, which state?

these are important questions
I didn't think the UK did DST. The US does it, except AZ and HI, I think.
