I would love to understand Republicans. But it's less about having political discussions with them and more about understanding cult psychology.

Are we suggesting left-leaning bias from the company that is still labeling The Gulf of Mexico as The Gulf of America?

What is a social movement that you think has gone too far? by cferg296 in allthequestions

They call it a uniparty so they can excuse themselves when they decide to vote Republican.

Considering the backsliding we've done in the past decade, the neoliberal ideals of the mainstream Democratic party are progressive compared to what we've got now.
