If that’s what you think as a leftist, I can happily live with you while disagree. On several things, I think I would disagree with you on policy but I would agree with you about the principal. Some other things, we would have to disagree and simply leave it at that, but there would not be any kind of animosity or hostility.

If you want to know the truth about 90% of the people on Lemmy, read what they post on here, and then go outside and talk to a few strangers on the sidewalk, start a conversationand see if strangers outside start to spaz as bad as Lemmy users.

Essentially they don’t have the functionality for developing friendships with people who disagree with their thinking but maybe have other things in common. 2 people who are religious can reject each other’s faith and doctrine, but share the same passion for similiar hobbies, movies, sports, tech, etc., and bond over those activities and leave what they each believe in out of their conversations.

Yeah, he’s done a lot to empower parents to decide what the parents want their own children to learn at school instad of lobbyists paying government to tell the children what they are going to learn according to what the lobbyists want.

It was not a bloodbath.

Trump got the most votes to win the election. What is there to explain?

I had some level of assumption that Vance was picked as the heir to continue on the work to protect the people from the government and corrupt corporations, and enforce individual rights.
