    Because I at least try to have conversations with people instead of calling every centrist and Republican Nazis right out of the gate. This whole thread is smug af because they think everyone who isn’t auto-agreeing to every single left talking point is one of the bad guys.

    If more people attempted conversation there would be less animosity. Things would get resolved quicker. But it’s all children throwing tantrums at each other and the people trying to hold conversations are being drowned out. Actually worse, they’re getting lumped in with the Nazis like in this comic so… keep it up, because you’re one of the Good Guys!

      So if more people attempted conversations like you, there would be less animosity?

        You’re free to decide that for yourself. There have likely been many wars in the past fought in the name of tribalism, which didn’t need to be fought. Us vs them apparently feels too good to talk things out.

        I consider myself left-leaning but I also believe that anyone who’s painting KKK hoods on all their political opponents is dumb and is doing us a major disservice if we want to actually accomplish anything.
