I think it’s shameful for people to be downvoting them. Downvote something for being off topic, or for being violent or hateful that’s fine. But for having an opinion that’s different from yours in a thread specifically asking for that?
There are always going to be people who you disagree with. On every topic.That kind of behavior will only push people away.
Ah man I set a fire once. So dumb. My friend and I ditched Hebrew school and lit some books and a bush on fire in a department store parking lot.
Then we felt so guilty we called to fire department and confessed! The fire chief made us come in and take a fire safety class and write an essay. We were such dorks.
Bloody 'ell! I’ve been caught red-handed! With me trousers round me ankles! Be a good lad and write your full name and address so we can send you some warm ale by way of apology.
You know I voted for Hillary and Biden even though both trashed the idea of Medicare For All. That’s a huge issue for me, but you don’t really get to pick your politicians. You only pick the lesser of two evils. Republicans don’t like Dems. They might not love Trump or even Ted Cruz but for some people that’s their lesser of two evils. So I can’t speak for this other commenter but I can understand why you might vote for someone who doesn’t share your values
Good for you that’s a great attitude to have. Having honest and open conversation in good faith is so valuable and healthy. Keep it up and don’t let those types get you down.
I totally agree about the common ground. Understanding has to occur on both sides. You must be willing to listen before you expect anyone else to.
