This 100% but both sides have drifted towards that now and further apart.  They are reacting with the same shit towards each other back and forth now.  Yup Trump started it, but that doesn’t make it right that it’s gotten to a crazy point for a big portion of both sides. Don’t believe it, read some of the comments that have been made on these threads and some that have been deleted.  Crazy to me that friends and family have actually stopped talking over freaking politics, but many don’t respects anyone else’s views anymore and can’t separate a person from their political views.  I’ve learned to just not talk about politics with the extreme of either side.

Gtfo with your false equivalence.

So we didn’t get a notification about comments made in this forum that were being watched….  There’s been the same level of thing said by both parties extremes. I don’t understand why you get but hurt by that fact…   Is it a bit more for one side then the other, sure but that doesn’t make it right for anyone to do.

When one side is “I really want to hurt people, and i am overjoyed when others suffer,” and the other side is diametrically opposed, with a position of “hurting people is bad, stop that,” it’s not about “different views.”
If all we were arguing about was highway funding, or elements of defense spending, that would be a different universe. I’ve been friends with people with whom I’ve had such disagreements for decades. Trumpists are not those people.

You obviously missed the announcement and many comments that were deleted…. There’s extremes wishing harm on both sides, take your blinders off and see it.  I don’t like how either side has headed the last few years.  But this is a classic example of neither side admitting any faults crap that’s going on now.  It’s were right your wrong nothing else matters from both all of the time.  There’s a reason there’s a CloakRoom sucks thread, anyone rather middle, right, independent can’t have a conversation in here because it’s as close minded as a far Right forum is but the other way and this is a prime example.

There are plenty of those people here.  It’s the MAGAts, who howl about how everyone left of Ted Cruz is a snowflake, go full snowflake when people call out their BS.

There’s not that many….  There’s the ones who have been around here for a while that people know but if someone shows up new in CR and makes the exact same comment they get a different response.  Just look thru threads that’s not hard to figure out.  Many came in here months ago and were like Biden is slipping and probably shouldn’t run again and it’s best for the party and were met with not so nice results.  Y’all are kidding yourself if you think it’s not single think in here.

Yes, because the vast majority who show up are concern trolls not actually interested in discussing anything other than both sides, and how both sides somehow make trump normal

Oh no, were people being mean? Not nice? God quit crying. Many of those that were calling for Biden to step aside and got some shit for it, are still here posting. Why? Because who gives a shit if someone disagrees with you or calls you an idiot. Grow some thicker skin and have cogent arguments.

The thing that irritates about posts like the above (hook1997s) is the "extreme of either side."  Does extreme leftism exist?  Sure it does.  Does it enter the conversation in Cloak Room or elsewhere?  Not most of the time.

Note that most of the more progressive posters bad_teammate and Linux, are mostly absent from the discussions.

The right is all-extreme all the time.

The government literally talked to people from this board about their post…. I don’t get how yall are totally missing the both sides hate but it exists and happens and as also said it’s more than the other side. 🤷🏻‍♂️. But it happens and it happens here more than you like to admit.  And no not all the right is extreme like I said exactly, is it a bigger percentage yes but to say it’s all is the exact same thing they are doing.

From anonymous Internet posters. It's regrettable when it does, and people should definitely better channel their anger. I missed the truly bad posts after the assassination attempt, but some of the ones I did see were cringe and over the line. But again, we're not politicians.

Right wing hate starts at the very top. And they milk the shit out of that hate for their own gain. We didn't even need January 6 to realize how incredibly dangerous that it. And now it's too late: if anyone in the GOP steps out of line and goes against the boss, they're ostracized. So hate is the only acceptable party platform now.

This one feels more like a "I'm going to vote Trump, but I need a way to feel okay about it."

Same, same.

First, a Votecast survey, conducted by University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center in conjunction with the 2022 election, asked whether each party was “too tolerant of extremist groups.” Fifty-three percent found Republicans too tolerant of extremists and an identical 53 percent said the same of Democrats.    

In response to another question, 47 percent said Republicans need more moderate candidates while 49 percent expressed the same desire for Democrats.  

Equal numbers said Democrats and Republicans welcome extremism and that each party needed more centrist candidates.  
 

y’all just keep your heads in the sand and keep going “what” my party does nothing wrong.   The article also says there’s more in the right, like I said but goes on to explain it’s not just one side and there’s many articles that say the exact same thing.  Also the saying I’m voting Trump is hilarious and shows your ignorance and blind view for one side and nothing else. This is exactly why there’s I hate Cloakroom thread…. You talk just as close minded and judgmental as the other side.

Stop doing this. Literally no one ever says that. But, when your choices are a Ford Pinto full of human excrement and a 1998 Honda Accord, it's pretty easy. That doesn't make the Accord perfect. 

Look at my user name...you think I'm some lifelong bleeding heart liberal? The right just has absolutely nothing to offer me right now. That's not changing while Trump is alive because he is the party, and that party is pure, open hatred.

 

Also, can you please link that study? I'm curious how they define extremism. Or how those surveyed perceived it. Anecdotally speaking, when I hear left wing extremists, I tend to think policy: free college, crazy high taxes, universal income/healthcare, etc. Right wing extremists has me thinking Proud Boys, Jan 6, election deniers, etc.

I should feel sorry for him. A simple, regular dude. He served. He has worked plenty of good honest jobs. He’s in pain.
I should care.
I don’t. Not anymore. Because their solution to THEIR pain is to inflict pain on others. Fuck em. My only regret is that I’m not one of the people grifting these assholes out of every last penny. Every. Last. Penny.

Hmm.  Every time that the Democratic candidate gets some positive press or momentum we are graced with some "both sides!" posts.  No, it's just coincidence.

Lol you're citing an AIPAC person and a conservative opinion writer who's trying labeling the anti-genocide posture of many dems as "extreme". Miss me with that, broheim. 

How bout you do something crazy and synthesize your own ideas and then back it with sources, rather than mindlessly reposting concern trolls? Like, can you actually articulate your concerns with specific posts or actions? Or are you stuck in """many people are saying""" land?

 

Go fuck a couch and then fuck some kids with epstein if you want to claim that #bothsides are bad

Yep, we had Trump for years encouraging his fans to chant “lock her up” in reference to the woman he beat in 2016. I don’t recall Biden holding rallies and encouraging people to chant “lock him up!”
