    • Both sides transgender topics, pretending that making people happy is actually bad for society
    • Defends the genocide of Palestinians as a neutral to good action, praises Israel every second

    Liberals: “Ah, free speech and free press. A good publication.”

    • “Wow that debate was awful. We’ll actually tell the truth for once that people aren’t voting for Biden, they are voting against Trump.”

    Liberals: “BOYCOTT THEM, DON’T BELIEVE YOUR LYING EYES, EVERYTHING THAT DISAGREES WITH ME IS PAID OFF OR PROPGANDA. FAKE NEWS! IGNORE THAT WE ARE ACTING LIKE REPUBLICANS!”

      The survey showed that 41 percent of partisans agreed that simply winning elections is more important to them than policy or ideological goals, while just 35 percent agreed that policy is a more important motivator for them to participate in politics. Only 24 percent valued both equally or expressed no opinion.

      This is from 2015, but it explains so much. If anything, 35% seems like a bit much for people who are primarily motivated by policy. Maybe it’s gotten worse since then.
