The disgraceful Supreme Court justice should be held accountable for his actions but probably won’t.

      Have you made any points that are actually debatable or are you just shit posting and crying about the community (and reality) leaning left?

        We can discuss points if you want, I mean any time I post any in here it’s just downvoted in the hundreds though

        So I don’t really think this is the place for any real discussion. Just another echo chamber probably full of bots

            You don’t at all question how unlikely it is that a community named ‘politics’ can have such a homogenous point of view as this one without some kind of bullshit being involved?

            Every post is from a liberal-positive perspective, every comment even slightly right is downvoted to oblivion and shouted down immediately. This isn’t natural.

            By the amount of downvotes my posts here receive, it would basically need to be that every single person online decided to downvote my comment.

            You think that’s just natural? You think it’s because you’re sooooooooo right and I’m sooooooo wrong?

            Gotta think about it a little bit more, I think

              You think it’s odd that the overwhelming majority of folks support things that help others? Doesn’t say much about the community but definitely says a lot about you.

                A little presumptive there, when you realize that everyone pretty much wants to helps others and the disagreements come in about what the right way to do that is.

                Do you think conservatives are hatful little Devil’s just trying to hurt people? That’s what too much Twitter will do to you

                  the disagreements come in about what the right way to do that is.

                  I mean, when one side says “these things that help people are failures because they don’t help enough people” and the other side says “but they’re helping people”, that’s not about the right way.

                  At no point have you offered an alternative, you’re simply saying “the other side is wrong” while using specious arguments to back it up.

                  Do you think conservatives are hatful little Devil’s just trying to hurt people?

                  Calling objectively successful policies failures is either extremely ignorant or actively trying to hurt people.

                    The implication is that these things are actively hurting people by keeping them in poverty and creating new poverty situations.

                    I guess it also really depends on what you define ‘helping’ as. If all you’re looking for is to collect a small cheque and that’s ‘helping’, I guess these programs look great to you.

                    But for someone like me, who thinks helping people become self sufficient and get off of programs like welfare, the numbers don’t look like that’s what’s happening at all.

                    Someone collecting welfare is in a poverty state already, and most people who collect welfare do not actually have a great chance to ever get off of welfare.

                    So instead of helping people, it ends up doing the ex’s T opposite. Keeping people perpetually dependent on social welfare programs.

                    I don’t see that as helping.

                  I think some conservatives are exactly that, yes. They advertise and brag about it constantly.

                  I think you’re projecting a bit here, I don’t use Twitter. I live in a place where republicans are actively stripping social safety nets and rights. I get to see it first hand while reading comments about how it’s not happening and that it’s just Twitter drama 🤔
