I guess I'm here... I came to understand why and how you guys think the way you do. I'm extremely liberal and have a burning hatred for a good amount of the right, however I still want to contribute. I dislike being divided, I dislike any phobias that I know many of you have, and after reading some of the opinions on here I can honestly say that I see no good that can come from this website. The garbage spewed on here makes me want to puke. The clear disregard for political correctness and the way others may feel is so unimaginably disgusting to me that I doubt I can agree with anything being said here. I want to make clear that I'm not on this website to be absorbed into the alt-right echo-chamber that FreeRepublic is; I'm here to get a better understanding of how my fellow humans can be actively saying these things. I do not wish to cause any kind of drama, I just hope you guys can welcome my different viewpoints; If not I'll leave as soon as I came with the knowledge that this website is just a hate filled echo-chamber.
These ARE always fun threads.
O.K., who remembers the one where the person was defending Calypso Louie years and years back?
That was a great one.
AKA of our dear leader Jim Robinson. A few years back a liberal reporter was slamming our site and stated the leader was Jim Thompson, so some us carry on with that ignorance.
Nothing unites FR like the childish virtue signaling of this look at awesome me post.
Facebook is over there, if you are so desperate for attention.
We keep Jim Thompson going. On purpose.
Jim Thompson are Spartacus.
I trust you.

Brain vs heart.
Know how to play chess vs dont know how.
I'll just continue to not follow the lead of vacuous Libs and call Mr. Robinson by the name his good parents blessed him with.
I’m glad it was you that were the first to comment. You framed it up pretty perfectly.
Dont despair, soon (finally) your parents are gonna croak and you get to move upstairs. Excitingly! Scary!!
As my old pappy used to say, "You never have to respond to anything that isn't followed by a question mark."
Not alt-right, conservative just like most people used to be and according to our last presidential election, it’s still most.
Not an echo chamber. There’s lots of debate.
“clear disregard for political correctness and the way others may feel”
How the fk do you think we “feel” when a large percentage of the population wants to “fundamentally change” our society and form of government?
Thanks for stopping by and insulting us first thing. Very open minded and “tolerant” of other people’s view and “feelings” aren’t you?
I’ve got a question for you. I presume you like the idea of democratic socialism or just socialism or maybe even communism. Why don’t you and others like you just move to a country that already has that form of government?
Here’s a site you should take a look at
https://communiststats.com/
I was a liberal until I reached my majority. Raised to be a socialist.
If you identify yourself as a liberal, refrain from name calling or nasty insinuations, and ask sincere questions Id have no problem dialoguing with you.
I dont mind when some says well the liberal viewpoint is... or what about this side of the issue, how would you respond?
LOL!
This is like going to the flea market.
It never gets old.
No one likes their politics attacked in a non-political social situation.
On the other hand, this year I went to Politicon, and was thrilled to witness peaceful real head on political debates. And people went out happily. Debate is good. This polarization and hatred of the Other is the problem, not the actual differences of thought. Political differences are only disagreements about how to organize governments. Surely we can love one another and disagree.
First post opus. That’s new.
HI... And interesting you registered and posted. You could have accomplished the “learning” stuff and getting viewpoint mentality by lurking
curious.
Need attention?
Think you’ll be much happier at another forum. Democratic Underground comes to mind or ANY of the alphabet sites... right up your alley.
