To replublican lurkers and OPs, what are you expecting of us?
I know what the sub is called, but if I asked in yours, it'd get removed
Reading through this subreddit, I'll see commenters and posts essentially whining about being called fascist, or that we wont compromise on thing like LGBT rights or ICE.
To which I must ask, what is it you actually want from us? What is it you're expecting?
How would you feel if I showed up to your equivalent sub whining how "you can't expect us to support to Trump or want to memorialize Kirk when you call us communists". It wouldn't happen because I'd be banned before anyone responded, which says everything I care to hear
I know for a fact, you saw that statement, and had a roll your eyes moment. "Oh here goes the loony lib". THAT is exactly how I feel when you whine about trans athletes, or say Good and Pretti were in the wrong, or start chanting "We're all Charlie Kirk". I hear or read those, and I do the same thing, and feel the same "Oh here goes the fucking magat again". I'm calling you a different insult for a different reason, but it's the same sentiment.
And if you're thinking "you did it first", well I'm not surprised, because I think you started it. Look at that, we're right back where we began.
If you're to engage in a conversation here, you need to understand: we aren't republicans. We disagree with you. You think medicare for all is socialism. Even though I disagree, if we're going to have a discussion that's at all productive, that's the position I need to engage with. Likewise, I think that deporting immigrants without a trial is fascism. I think trans women shouldn't be blanket banned from sports. However irrational you think that is, that is what you're engaging with. You can think all you want that your positions are common sense, but saying "well it's common sense" doesn't actually do anything to me.
I am a democrat. I therefore think things a democrat thinks. If you want to have a debate about it, you need to actually confront that position; and you most certainly can't expect being confused and upset that a democrat acts like a democrat is going to lead anywhere except more mudslinging.
