Also, this is a hot-button culture war topic that isn't representative of all of Biden's policies, just as children in cages wasn't a representation of all of Trump policy. Kids in cages was started by OBAMA.

February 28, 20214 yr 1 hour ago, Homestar said: C'mon. This is the kind of divisive rhetoric that keeps us from discussing issues as a country. My guess is that we fall in line with a lot more policy than you'd realize. If by divisive rhetoric you mean facts...ok. Seriously did you watch the confirmation hearings...you want us to discuss the issues when the freaking nominees won't answer the basic questions? Straight up facts...trump said shitty things about a lot of people. His policies on the environment were not in line with climate change and he denied official election results. Thus far Biden has put kids back in cages...err trailers with bars on the windows. Nominated a Secretary of HHS that isn't even a doctor, is on record saying he wants to end all private health insurance and refuses to disavow partial birth abortion. And, nominated a undersecretary of HHS that apparently thinks it is ok to amputate sex organs off three year olds.

And with the constant complaining about student loan debt and campaigning to get the debt erased, i.e. paid for by taxpayers, is never ending thus validating that a substantial sum of those students getting those loans do not have the judgement to assess what they are signing themselves up for when getting a degree they can't actually make a living with.

How anyone who voted for Biden can watch this without throwing something at the screen is beyond me. Giving three year olds drugs to change their sex...you are truly some sick s. Did anyone else watch this and think she looks/sounds like a real life version of a Southpark character?

The left has made the argument that if you voted for Trump then you’re lockstep with what Trump believes, etc. Hell, the left is still trying to make that argument! Let me know if you need examples... By the way, how are those “cages” (or detention holding facilities?) that Biden is forcing children into? There's a problem in what you just said, and it's *exactly* what the professional DC people want you to do. (But I agree with your point, obviously) There is no longer any connection between the political class and the voter, including on the right. We are now in the phase where we-the-people need to figure that out. "The left" cannot encompass the activists, journalists, professors, politicians, and voters. It's too broad, and intentionally so. Their power comes from making us hate our neighbors. If we can't talk to each other, we won't realize we have far, far, far more in common with our opposing-side neighbor/coworker/friends/etc than we do with the people we're voting for. The left love their polls, yet no polls on transgender sentiment. American voters overwhelmingly agree that men shouldn't play women's sports, and kids shouldn't take puberty blockers without parental consent. The Democrats (professionals, not voters) are trying to are trying to convince their constituency that conservatives hate transgender people and wish them misery and harm. That way the liberal voters don't have to vote for conversion surgery for five-year-olds, they can just vote "against bigotry." This is the same strategy employed in the BLM fight today.

Fair enough, but the right has done the same, indicating that anyone who votes for Biden is a socialist. The "leaders" of both sides love their hyperbole.

But it only further supports the opinion that mainstream media is far left as they largely only carry and support only one of these two messages.

I've repeated this here and I'm probably wasting keystrokes, but the era of solely-liberal "mainstream media" is past. There are many established and new conservative-leaning outlets beyond Fox (much of talk radio, OAN, Newsmax, Blaze, NY Post, WSJ editorials, certain podcasts, etc, etc) Granted, they may not have the same collective viewership (yet) as the liberal outlets but they have the ability to deliver whatever narrative they want. That said, the two sides are so far apart there aren't any moderate news sources in the US. An important point because the media/political cabals are trying to get each of us to choose a side and stay in it. You're not "allowed" to be, for instance, pro-environment AND pro-2A. Or capitalist AND pro-Obamacare. It's kind of Orwellian how we are trained to be reflexively loyal to one political party or the other. End of conspiracy theory rant. BBC might be the least biased major outlet. Of course, bias is in the mind of the consumer. I'm sure there are folks on the extremes that consider Infowars or Mother Jones moderate.

Have been watching Sky News Australia, they have a different take from the outside looking in. They have much more to lose if Biden mucks up Chinese relations and by their tone they are not confidant.

Sure, left leaning, but apparently their news is very right leaning? Either way they've gone on at length about the sweetheart deals that China has been given by the Conservative governments. Plus you know, fires destroying their country. So, I wonder if that's a money thing.
March 4, 20214 yr Knew not one but two dudes in the BUFF who would share videos on Facebook about how it was a mistake for South Africa to end apartheid. And at Dyess we have someone working at the sim building with QAnon decals on his or her car (also a Texas A&M car ornament, naturally). The crazies are out there.
