We have to agree where we ARE before we stand a chance to agree about what we do from here.

"You don't have to admit you were wrong"

🤣

What an opener to appeal for unity, Jesus fucking Christ.

The American Left and Right are indistinguishable people apart from political views.

Imagine what y'all could achieve if the circlerks were united as one big fucking circlejerk. That's what Putin is blocking because GAWD DAMN was it effective in the last century.

But if unity can't be started until someone admits something they don't believe... Cool. Enjoy the dying years of your country, furled by stubbornness above all else.

I reiterate; The American Left and Right are indistinguishable people. Shouldn't that mean something for common ground sake? Shake fucking hands ffs
- You're not wrong, but "Our division is caused by those evil foreigners" isn't it.
  
  We have our own oligarchs, whom are much more influential than any foreign entity and have just as much interest in keeping the working class divided and confused. One of them is the literal president.
- The American Left and Right are indistinguishable people.
  
  One side wants to make women second class citizens and make trans people stop existing. The other wants to protect those people's rights.
  
  If you think the American left and right are indistinguishable, you are all sorts of ignorant.
  
  "Nah, eight words in, I think I've got enough here to unload my insecurities without it seeming at all irrelevant to the full comment. In fact, I'm so confident I have the full context, I'll include a full-stop there in the quote. The words immediately after were probably useless. There! Now, time to finish it off with a 'If you think...' retort that will definitely be on point and worth everyone's time."

  It doesn't matter how many words in it was. Your statement was wrong. Period.
  
  I don't care how many times you say the word "circlejerk" after that. You were wrong.
  
  Then you proceeded to repeat it again. And were wrong, again.
  
  You are so indoctrinated it's pointless. Even hypotheticals are for realises at this level. Enjoy your society. You've made it what it is.
