Robson,

"THEIR ONLY GOAL IS DIVIDE OUR CULTURE AND NATION AND DESTROY REAL WOMEN."

Liberals are opposed to traditional values.

Liberalism is also destroying real men.

Truth,

You seem to be under some impression Biden is mister clean.

I never read anything here on this site about Tara Reade.

Boaz,

"RCADE better start reigning you in, because you are lying on OUR President."

Come on.

Isn't it obvious Cadenhead turns a blind eye to the sick posters here who hate Trump?

Danni,

'we'll buy small parachutes for the kids'

That's ridiculous.

Ever heard of tandem?

Corky,

"AS with so many other Trump Lies"

Trump said he's going to deport illegals and now he's making a plan.

How is that a lie?

Frankly, I think he must do it now so that he won't be lying.

Truth,

"May they receive exactly what they voted for."

That's the plan.

Laura,

When it comes to gays, few minorities have had to suffer systematically at the hands of humanity throughout history more than homosexuals.

It's not something unique to conservatives, though, and the policial system. Both conservatives and liberals in the past have done great harm to gay people.

That being said, I don't include this horrendous treatment when I say I have seen liberals doing more to destroy lives via the cancel culture than conservatives.

"Cancel culture" often targets individuals usually with the goal of affecting their personal and professional lives based on past or present actions or statements or beliefs deemed problematic usually by liberal or progressive groups regardless of the accuracy of the information or extreme bias of those offended.

However, cancel culture isn't a tactic only used by liberals. It was quite effective at removing Bud Light from it's number one spot in beer sales though that might be better classified as a boycott than cancel culture.

I have seen liberals use this tactic not only against conservatives, but also against their own who don't conform to the "group speak" beliefs.

Alex,

Cancel culture and banning are not exactly the same.

Banning books of a certain topic, etc.

Cancel culture has more to do with cancelling human beings.

Alex,

I agreed that it is done by both.

But overall I've seen a lot more from liberals destroying lives....not just books.

Brass,

"Cancel culture is alive and well across the entire political spectrum"

That might true but don't you think liberals play the cancel card much more than conservatives?

If you oppose stifling free speech, you get accused of stifling free speech.

If you oppose stifling free speech, you get accused of stifliong free speech.

Gal,

I did answer your question. Just not in the way you wanted.

I could have said, "significant tax cuts for the rich is a bad idea".

However, I think "simplifing the progressive tax structure" I listed would already include that.

The way I see things, Democrats and Republicans oftentimes have overlapping goals such as reducing inequality, expanding access to healthcare, addressing climate change, and protecting civil rights.

However, they disagree on how to prioritize these goals and how to achieve them.

Gal,

To me the biggest difference between the parties is priorities.

One party might make something a very high priority the other party puts close to the bottom.

You can extrapolate from the lists things I think Republicans do not make high enough priority.

DB,

"Then why did you vote for any of them in 2024? Did you find some who promote any of those ideas?"

Because dems have lost their marbles, which is profoundly worse.

They're just nuts.

The secret to a healthy sex life.

Use it or lose it.

And for men, I believe one thing that helps keep a marriage healthy in the bedroom is a clear conscience.

Seriously...think about it.

Clown,

We married my early twenties and have been active consistent with standard statistics of healthy marriages.

She has never used it as a weapon and enjoyed it immensely. Even if she wasn't totally in the mood, she would agree to a quicky most of the time.

We're still at it...just less often. Better living through chemistry.

The irony is I've gotten more regular weekly frequency in our 40 plus years of marriage thsn most totally straight guys.

It won't last long.

In no particular order....

Gal,

Here's what I'd like to see from the Republicans.

Practical cost controls in healthcare
Less skepticism around climate policy urgency
Support safety nets alongside personal responsibility
Balanced, practical immigration policies
Gun regulation while respecting the 2nd Amendment.
More emphasis on drug rehabilitation over punishment
Support unions without overburdening businesses
Increase mental health service funding
Promote self-sufficiency with welfare support
Simply progressive tax structures.
Promote fair, affordable housing initiatives without rezoning.

Truth,

"We are not the same"

No s**t Sherlock.

Truth,

You're by all definitions a fanatic.

Fanatics on either side are kooky.

Not to mention the big one... Constitutional rights.

That could include a whole lot of stuff the left and right need to talk about.

Gal,

Your "greener grass" seems to imply you don't fully realise some policies you support are genuinely unwanted or not good ideas.

Border, people here unvetted, men in women's sports, parental rights, energy policies, government fiscal accountability, social engineering, intrusive government regulations....and more.

Regarding civil rights there are still some problems of injustice and inequity.

But attitudes need to change. Some perceived "rights" are just that...perceived... and are not defensible.

Long of the short...that's my opinion.

Gal,

You have valid points.

But do realise this knife cuts both ways.

Politics and elections have always been a pendulum swinging left and right responding to the current issues of the day.
