Why such hard partisianship around here?

[Doublejack]

Well that and people have the safety off the internet to hide behind.

I guarantee most of our mouth breathers wouldn't say what they print here face to face because at some point they would be missing teeth.

I'm sure a few people would stick to their guns too, but those also tend to be either less douchetastic or borderline retarded.

Fear profits a man nothing.

Right .. trolling people in real life can result in immediate and unwanted responses. You can be right and still have your teeth extracted at the same time.

It's still altogether extremely rare. Nearly all people can get along in real life discussions with opposing views and simply brush it off without ending in any aggression at all.

It's mostly just an internet/media thing.

You can go into any bar in any town and talk politics to people in person and odds are you'll be buying beers for each other afterwards.

I'll buy anyone here a beer or three but I'm learning to be partial to bourbon lately.

Even Bo, hell I'm probably closer to him than anyone else.

Maybe Pickle, I owe him one.

And Cthulhu.

So $#@! you.

I signed up here on hopes there would be honest discussion and no labeling.

Yet on some stuff I am already labeled a democrat and on others I get labled a republican.

Look I ain't for no party infact throughout my voting life I have supported both parties and even voted libertarian and once for county board an independant.

Not sure what most of ya'll are lookin for though may make it very clear that I support basic common sense on most issues regardless of the party or narritive.

Thank you

You sound like an independent thinker.

I suspect some of the more abrasive posters here are either Paid Trolls on possibly even agents hired by the Russians to screw with America's online conversations. Expensive? Hell yeah... but governments can afford chit like that.

All I can say is: persevere!

And welcome.

The way I see it, one of the major problems with this country is the "for-profit", "party before country", duopoly known as the republicrat party. The hyperpartisianship is killing this once great nation.

Its difficult for a long time poster here to be middle of the road or to have views on both sides of the political aisle. To "some" here if your not totally with them youre against them.

Like every other forum over time allegiances form and antagonism between some.
I guess the best bet is to post it like you see it and let the chips fall.

Some of us don't hide anonymously.
