I don’t ever hear why the left leaning policies are bad, just that they are & should be hated. All I see is right leaning policies result in a reduction of liberties. What liberties would I be trading for left leaning policies? Which one isn’t a nanny state that tells me what I can and can’t do in situations that do not interfere with the liberty and health of another person? I’d prefer my tax dollars go to PSAs about good responsible parenting instead of having to prove my age to join a social media site. Parental control technology already exists. Tell people to use it.

This • 1000.

People gotta start getting Socratic about everything, but especially their news and politicians.

We've lost many critical thinkers in our time, with clickbait titles (many don't really read the articles), "talking points" instead of substantive conversations, and lack of reading good literature (which I believe help to spur creative thought and can lead people to question things more often).

Yeah! If anyone’s thinking of answering my questions, don’t. Ask your own. Separate opinions, facts, and feelings.
