A Gallup poll found the split between Republicans and Democrats about their satisfaction with the direction of the country was at its widest since 2001.
It’s kind of pathetic of me, but coming to lemmy I had this idea that maybe it would be like reddit of old, before it went to shit. It was foolish of me to think I could still find quality human beings on the Internet.
That type of discourse will follow you if you’re the one generating it. I’m not willing to have a conversation with someone that wants to twist everything I say and argue incessantly about which definition of a word, or which frame of reference we should use. You have no intellectual integrity. Now leave me alone please.
The terms we are using “left”, “progressive”, etc are full of ambiguity that can easily be mistaken for intentional “twisting” of what someone is saying. I don’t know how to deal with that without addressing those definitions. If you have any suggestions, I’d be happy to consider them. Also, if you want to be left alone, you are under no obligation to respond. Making statements then instructing someone to not respond is pretty shitty behavior, even if you say “please”.
