Why do Trump people talk about everyone else melting, but they’re the ones posting long rambling, diatribes in defense of Trump about how they’re not the ones melting?

You’re not a member of the left if you’re voting for the right, no matter how deeply you feel that you are a “lefty” (nobody on the left calls themself a lefty, btw) on the inside.

Trump triggers liberals and makes us all cry. Democrats and Republicans are the same. These are axioms, which cannot be questioned.

Leftist never have to convince me they are leftist either. They just are.

You're not a leftist. You're a centrist.. You're milquetoast.. TheEcstatic is the only leftist on this forum.. and maybe ballsauce.
And me!

It's ok though. I still love you Mushboy. I would vote for you, even... but only because the other options are so terrible!

I call myself a lefty, to distinguish myself from panty-waste milquetoast liberals.

And I have literally never voted for a Republican in my life lol

So what? You don’t vote at all? That doesn’t make you a “lefty”, a “righty”, or anything else. You agitate and propagandize like a right wing person, but your audience is small enough that I don’t believe it qualifies as political action. I would classify you as apolitical, having no actual conviction one way or the other.

Headies said:

Okay. How do you support any of those things?

The last person I voted for or donated to was Bernie Sanders..

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

I mean.. since we're focusing so much on me... (Cuz I surely am quite special, bros.. I know!)

Let's do a rundown of my politics so you don't get confused:

I support Medicare for all (Unlike Biden)

I support government funded public education.

I support german-style worker councils in business to empower workers.

I support unions. Especially trade unions.

And women's rights/abortion rights, gay rights, and I am generally anti-war, unless that war comes home to American soil.

I am also against allowing drilling on publicly owned land...

What are yerrr politics, bro?

Pretty much dude... yeah.

I mean.. you're welcome to question these things, but if you're a rational, thinking person... you'll likely end up at the same conclusion that I have.

I doubt it.  Most rational thinking people would never use fentanyl after all so it seems unlikely your thought processes would align.  You seem slightly more self destructive than typical normies, this might color your political perspective as well.

Iirc, Ecstatic made a thread some years ago where we laid out our positions on a number of topics.  Might be fun to revisit that thread and see how much has changed

You're one to talk Benzo boy lmao!!!

Damn.. you gonna drug shame me on a dope forum lol. Now THATS irrational thinking.

Ice9 said:

This wasn't an attack at all.  I am certainly in the same boat, I doubt the majority of people in earth have similar risk tolerance and self destructive tendencies as myself. The difference is, I recognize how this affects my thoughts patterns, and do not let it bleed into a nihilistic political view.  That's all I meant by this.

I dunno, my dad was firmly center-right and marginally racist in his late 20's.  Guy voted for Reagan twice and thought Pat Buchanan was just great.  His views changed quite a bit as he got older.  We went to a Bernie rally in 2016 wearing homemade Feel the Bern t-shirts, lol.

Well you know ballz... If I'm going to be honest.. I like leftist values, but I like conservative people. They tend to be better natured, and more self-reliant... hard working. Don't make excuses.. and their women are far more attractive :shrugs:

I can always get a beer with a conservative, as long as we don't talk politics.

I'm sure that I know for a fact.. your dad was a good natured dude who ended up finding his way in the end, which is better than most!

I'll pour one out for your old man!

Interestingly enough... my grandma, who is a lifelong die hard republican.. (She's one of those people who literally believes it's against her religion to vote democrat) just decided to vote Democrat this year.. when RFK was running as a dem.. I'm sure she will abstain now..
