What is one defining trait about both political parties?

Try not to fight, kids, but be honest.

For Democrats: Take a high and mighty approach while talking down to anyone who doesn't agree. Essentially, a superiority complex.

For Republicans: Quick to defend but usually pretty tame about it. A lot of diverse opinions, but the ones who shout loudest are heard most often.

Quick to defend but usually pretty tame about it

"All liberals are baby-eating Satanists". Tell me, what were conservatives defending against when they came out with that tame response?

@daisymay "all conservatives are white racists"
daisymay · 51-55, T
@raysam363 Yes, you already made your "liberals bad" point in the original post. Now, tell me what conservatives were defending when they made the "tame" (your words) response that all liberals are baby-killing Satanists?

Surely, you want to maintain the illusion that you're simply asking questions and engaging in honest debate?

@daisymay I've known good and bad from both, and I can only say what I've seen in recent years. Both sides are stubborn and divided, and their followers refuse to accept criticism.

@raysam363 Deflection noted.

@daisymay Fine, all liberals are infallible saints that know everything and do only good.
@raysam363 Do you know that not all Democrats are liberals ? Or do you interpret my pointing out that fact as talking down to you ?
daisymay · 51-55, T
@raysam363 Aww, calm down, guy! Don't want to appear too emotional, do you? After all, you're only dealing in truths and interested in having an honest debate about liberals and conservatives, right?

You still haven't answered the question. What were conservatives defending when they made the tame suggestion that all liberals are baby-eating Satanists?

Can you not answer that question, or are you just irritated that it puts the lie to your ridiculous assertion in the original question?

@bijouxbroussard Please, I'm just a poor, dumb independent.
@raysam363 With a conservative bias, it would seem.
raysam363 · 36-40, F
@bijouxbroussard Moving forward without being reckless, sure, why not?
@raysam363 Conservatives support moving backwards. “Traditional” values—racism and sexism being among the most enduring.
raysam363 · 36-40, F
@bijouxbroussard I guess I should move to where you are, around here nobody seems to being against anything.
@raysam363 White supremacists come here to march against the so-called “liberal establishment” (their term). Conservatives support them.

@bijouxbroussard Haven't seen a white surpremacist in either Maryland or Tennessee, just people trying to live their lives.
@raysam363 But would you know them if you saw them ? With the hoods and swastikas off they tend to blend.
raysam363 · 36-40, F
@bijouxbroussard I stick away from CNN, so I don't see them. Worst I've seen was a confederate flag sticker on an electric shopping cart. I wouldn't call them a threat to anyone.
@raysam363 So should I assume you follow Fox ? And therefore are too busy looking for Antifa everywhere.

@bijouxbroussard You think I still watch cable news? I'm not that stupid.
@raysam363 Well, you brought up CNN. Stands for Cable News Network.
raysam363 · 36-40, F
@bijouxbroussard I hear a lot about CNN these days, and how anyone even remotely conservative is bad.
@raysam363 And you’re easily influenced by what you hear ? 🤔
raysam363 · 36-40, F
@bijouxbroussard No, I merely use the information readily available to make an opinion.
@raysam363 Nothing you’ve posted indicates that. Or the information available to you is biased.
raysam363 · 36-40, F
@bijouxbroussard The information readily available in real life, common internet sources, here (of all places), and passing conversations with coworkers. I'd say that's a decent pool. But I won't convince you about anything.
@raysam363 Nor I you, certainly . You came in with a biased, slanted question. So I have no expectations of fairness from you. 😒
