Well the only obvious topic that Democrats and Republicans agree on is China.

democrats are evil people, first of all.

Very true

agreed

War, war is the only thing they can half way agree on 😂

If you agree with NY Dems, you are not a republican, you’re a RINO

Yeah I agree. I'm 19 and some of my friends are more liberal others more conservative but nobody really cares

exactly

bigot

Bruh... I'm a republican in NYC as well. I like to keep things non-political at social gatherings because of how heated things can get 😂.

She has great takes on issues.

You're conservative socially. I'm socially a conservative libertarian, ie I'm not hip to the woke bs, but I'll support your right to live your life how you want as long as you don't oppress anyone. Economically, I am a leftist, but I'd prefer anarchy, ie no rulers. I feel we can do more together by choice rather than being forced into a false kum by ya. Under anarchy I think we could actually accomplish more together.

@@rahimn9246as a fellow conservative libertarian, I appreciate how you’ve outlined my view

@@rahimn9246 Anarchy is definitely an interesting concept. Theoretically it can both fail and succeed. There is an infinite amount of possible outcomes. I believe that humanity will be brought to the brink of extinction if the world ever descended into anarchy.

​@@rahimn9246 This is an excellent way of putting it.

I'm not from America but South Africa and just because the fact I'm middle class and white, a lot of American liberals assume I'm racist which is funny because I've probably been around and made friends with more black people than they'll ever see in their lives😂

You mean the people that run the banking system? And corporations? I wonder what group of people run those organizations 🤔

Also establishment vs non-establishment

Yep

yes, both parties agree on immigration, big government, military spending, thats why its called a uniparty, they have 0 differences between them

exactly

What are these 80% of issue that the parties agree on? I only see 20% at most.

@@Benjanuva Most of the issues include the commonsense ideas of love of country, our Constitutional rights, improving our education system, support of the military and police. Every day people are very different than say the politicians and media people who drive some of the most divisive views that no one has. For example, a small percentage of liberals believe in "defunding the police", while most liberals understand the reason to have an efficient police force to combat crime. It's just that 20% (on either side) that have these extreme views and megaphones.

@@RavenHouseMystery, I have been saying this for a long time. You cannot outright tell when the everyday person is right or left, and a lot of the times they will have views that fall on both sides. Chronically online extremists and politicians always try to push an “us vs them” narrative and give everyone a bad name.

yep

This is what I was trying to say with my comment but it instead led to a whole religious argument. Thanks for being more succinct in your comment

Being from the UK i feel so so soooo sorry for my righty friends across the pond...the most powerful country on planet earth has at the present time the absolute WORST and EMBARASSING politicians in the history of the beautiful USA with a man with alzheimers for President and an even more clueless VP in cackling Kamara and if the rumours are true and Nancy Pelosi is going to run for President and somehow succeeds then i would DEFO think of moving to another country...Im from the west coast of Bonnie Scotland and ive got room for a couple of you good people in my flat 😊 i personally think the last election was rigged and the great man Donald Trump won by a country mile but that got me thinking if it wasnt rigged and Biden won fair and square tells me that people voted for a clueless twit for President out of pure spite to stop Trump winning again because from the outside looking in he did a decent job as president..somebody enlighten me please.

I am democrat and Murder is wrong

@origamistuffs What a ridiculous comment. This sort of disingenuous projection is part of the problem.

@@chaosinfusion8127 it's not projection. i have had people agree abortion is murder then go on to say it's justified murder

​@TeenageDirtbag8 do you support abortion?

NOBODY wants to adopt in this country, why do you think there's thousands upon thousands of kids in foster care as it is, that's why it doesn't f'ing work...abortion should be legal for the first 2 trimesters...for any reason!

Abortion is not only about the baby, it's also about the mother. Unfortunately it has been proven that if you restrict people's access to abortion and make doctors fear to lose their licenses if they misdiagnose potentially life threatening condition in a pregnant women, it leads to much more harmful and even lethal situations. Not all people, who seek abortion, are irresponsible party girls. Some want kids but face horrible complications during pregnancy (it's not always 100% clear do you have it or not, but if missed, can be fatal for both, like a fetal death). Some are married and already have kids, but don't have the opportunity to raise another child without sacrificing of well being of their already existing kids (and giving for adoption in their case is much more morally difficult). There have been done researches on those things. Also not mentioning that the adoption system isn't great, as well as forcing a kid into a family that doesn't want it. If it all was rainbow and kittens after a child is born, then yes. Unfortunately world isn't perfect. And it would benefit to think 5-10-20 years ahead, than just "punishing" both mother and a child for getting pregnant.

@TacseraEpSekahs AMEN. Everything you just said is why I strongly encourage people on both sides to stop being so hyper fixated on abortion and start tackling unplanned pregnancy, which doesn't just lead to abortions but also children ending up in foster care and single parents stuck with kids they weren't ready for. If we address unplanned pregnancy, we can kill 3 birds with one stone.

@@TacseraEpSekahsright. This is why the choice ultimately lies with the woman and her doctor. It’s no one else’s business except to the extent that the woman reaches out for support, whatever she may decide.

And what if contraceptives fail? People can be responsible, but contraceptives are not 100% effective. Why is your answer always "be responsible" even when people are responsible? If a couple wants only one child, then should they never have intercourse for the remainder of their lives? And how are you confident that all people that have ab0rti0ns live a life of regret? People that yearn to have children sometimes have to resort to ab0rti0ns for many reasons. And adoption isn't easy at all. If ALL the kids in the foster care right now could find happy homes right this instant and those numbers go down drastically then I'm willing to support your adoption argument. Leave this decision between families and their doctors. This shouldn't be a political issue at all because whether you are a conservative or a liberal, you or someone you know might need it one day for various reasons and that's why this should be between families and their doctors, who underwent years and years of education and training, unlike politicians who have no knowledge of medicine.

You bet!

That is pretty much obvious.

Simple... They don't actually believe what they say. They believe what they are told to. Most don't start with principle then apply the principle to an issue to reach a conclusion, instead many begin with a position on an issue then try to back into the principles that justify the position. The result is not having any consistent core principles.

As a pro-lifer and free-breather, I would guess the thinking is that infectious diseases can harm conscious, rational beings while a fetus is not even aware of its own existence. They probably treat the possession of human rationality as a more important distinction than assigning an inherent value to all human beings.

@@realrickyshea Yes but even if the child is born to people who will abort it. It will not have a good quality life. It will be neglected most likely.

What I understand even less is being vegan and stridently pro-choice. All the arguments about self-reflective consciousness fly out the window... if the fetus can feel any pain at all, then you've already acknowledged it has rights, because you give those rights to animals.

It still is your choice. You CAN choose to not get vaccinated. You just have to accept that there are certain repercussions to that choice.

The problem is that both parties have become so extreme. Look at the Republican party, anyone who dares to disagree with Trump is called a RINO. And Biden has moved so far to the left, especially on social issues.

@@ytsamurai1962 Biden has not moved to the left... he's moved into dementia. He probably doesn't even know where he is at this point.

​@ytsamurai1962 you know the right has actually moved slightly left in the last 20 years? The right only seems extreme because the left has shifted so far

@@slipperysteve8 You know most of the European countries and Canada look at Democrats in the US as right wing?

​@@ytsamurai1962the majority of the party is anti Trump.

I agree to disagree with people way more often than not!

@@zaklex3165 is it polite and curtious?

If you're dealing with people who identify as belonging to a party, then they likely consume party messages (propaganda). Emotional appeals and simplifications are easier to absorb. So if people aren't able to deal in nuance, it may be with some help.

@@declangill5138 Yes, my usual response is "we're just going to have to agree to disagree". and I leave it at that.

You know... You might be right. Like the only reason why we think democrats are the kinky ones is because we don't go around being open about our kinks.

I don't think conservatives are kinky. All the ones I know are good Christian fellows.

@@alfonsonatura1519 That's because again, we aren't open about it to everyone we know because there is no reason for them to know. But I do know that some of my republican friends are kinky and they know I'm kinky as hell too. But we discuss our kinks in private.

@@polarroebear Then I recommend you and your friends to visit a church. Perversion isn't exactly a conservative value.

​@@alfonsonatura1519Oh my god. Let's not start with this. Let them do whatever they want behind close doors.

you are part of the problem

TBH, it doesn't matter as much as it should who we vote in because the unelected members of the various federal agencies do most of the rule-making.

@@lasshrugged true, because the elected officials shirk their duties and gave over regulatory powers especially to the burocracy with a guise of "oversight" committees...the shifts of power are contained within the numerous bills of epic( size thousands of pages )that none of those people elected actually read and understand.... remember " pass it if you want to see what's in it" Nancy P on ObamaCare (affordable healthcare act, it still isn't).

Exactly.

​@@lasshruggedreally sad know one puts these two things together and realize we're all the problem

This is well-earned wisdom right here.

I am 16 and going through a similar thing right now. Everything you say I can totally emphasize. I just realized that I don't have to be liberal to rebel against my family. There are other ways. I totally despise the idea of being on the same political wing as my family but that doesn't have to mean anything.

Exactly 💯

Sadly, said candidate would get about a dozen votes total at best.

Who is to decide what high morals are? You? Me? That's impossible because everyone's morals are different(as they should be). There is NOT a definition of high morals and there never will be!

@@dersluuumpy3959 Normally that is true, but if Biden and Trump both run again in 2024 that might be the best opportunity for an Independent upset.

I second this. I am as conservative as it gets, but I love anime because of the stories. Modern western TV is absolutely horrible. Stories are part of our nature, we literally live them out. Enjoying good stories is not a thing to be shamed.

Tell that to all the pissed off 13-year-old boys. They aren't trying to sword fight for no 300 lb chick with purple hair on one side and shaved off on the other.

Yes! I also consider myself a right leaning libertarian, and I follow a lot of right wing influencer s. I'm into anime and video games. I agree that they are alienating a lot of people that would otherwise generally agree with them

Same I am conservative AF but I'll be damned if I miss a comic con.

Same, I’m right leaning independent but I’m also a huge nerd. I’ll be quite upset if I ever miss a Star Trek convention! 😅 But yeah, I generally think that conservatives could be better at drawing people in, especially younger people in my generation, without making rude comments about hobbies and interests (I know a conservative in my life who is very much like that)

yep agree

Too much to ask In 2023 especially when the whole ass media and hollywood is taking one side

I don't get what the fascination is with the right(I don't mean the extreme right, I just mean conservatism), it's as if everyone forgets why the pilgrims came over in the first place...to remind everyone it was to get away from the PURITANICAL English church and the suppression of people in Europe...aka FREEDOM. So we should be more like Europe when it comes to things like public nudity, nudity in media...that's just one thing, throw off the shackles of religion and think for yourself, do not let anyone else tell you how to live, make up your own mind...THINK! I have radical ideas for solving some of our problems that I know would go over like a lead balloon.

@@zaklex3165Ahh the radical atheist, I knew I would find one in these comments somewhere. Also , THE pilgrims were Puritans. The establishment church in England was not.

@@CC--jk6cr How wrong you are...I'm no atheist, but I also don't believe in god(note lower case)...and if you ask me what I believe, the only answer you'll ever get is I believe what I believe; it's none of your damned business, nor anyone elses business what I believe or what anyone believes...it's personal, not for public knowledge. So go crawl back under your rock and try again, maybe this time use reading comprehension to understand what someone is saying. Go back to history class, the pilgrims may have been Puritans but that's not why they came to the new world, it was to escape religious persecution...the exact same shit we're doing now.

​@@CC--jk6crtheyre all pr*testant

​@@zaklex3165yep America wasnt founded on religion

Because it is not yet a human.

@@Kyojironaxx A soul comes into that fertilized cell at conception. At no other point in the process is this possible. Therefore the defining characteristic of a human is present from the start. No one could argue that those who are mute don’t have a soul. That baby should have a chance at life. Adoption is always an option, if you feel you cannot care for that child. But the moment that baby is conceived, it is a human.

your a entitled to your opinion lets agree to disagree

I'm generally okay with the stances people have and their arguments on both sides here -- on one hand, it's a life, but on the other hand, it's holding the mother hostage (so you could almost argue for self defense here, at least in the case of rape). I'm relatively cool with this just coming down to states' rights to decide for themselves at the end of the day. My gripe is when it takes over the whole conservative platform. It's an issue that directly affects a small minority of the country, and yet it takes a center stage instead of matters like free speech, foreign policy, property rights and taxation, and fiscal responsibility, which tend to have a much greater impact on the lives of everyone. It just doesn't seem like the biggest priority in either direction. The black market abortion situation is also a mess I'd seek to avoid. I suppose the legalization of it can seem to bring a nonchalance about it, but in my experience, folks who've had the procedure done tend to pore over the decision a lot more than some seem to think. The pragmatist in me says to keep it legal, but to apply a harm reduction model to reduce the amount it is turned to, either with adequate access to prophylaxis, sane sex education, and generally better community support so that people don't feel like they HAVE to get abortions to avoid their lives being ruined. We can talk about it being murder, but a wise man once advised that I not be so quick to throw the first stone unless I was sure of my own righteousness.

This comment is brain-dead.

Nope. Having people around with different views keeps policies and society from going too far in one direction. It's a pendulum that begins to swing the other direction when it reaches the limit set by society. If everyone had the same views, there would be nothing to keep the pendulum from swinging in the same direction indefinitely.

@@rationalcynic8416 if everyone is diametrically opposed, then we can't "as a society" set limits. We can't define a limit.
