    Unfortunately people have different priorities than you or I, I guarantee a politician you have voted for has done something you oppose, and you may have still supported them. That’s because you care more about their other policies.

      False equivalency.

      “We should focus more on corporate taxes rather than individual taxes” is an opinion; “gay people shouldn’t have rights” isn’t an opinion, it’s hate.

      Don’t try to pretend these are on the same level. Supporting American conservatism requires a level of moral bankruptcy.

        Both are opinion, something being abhorrent doesn’t make it not an opinion. Opinions can be hateful.

          Yes but I don’t have to respect those opinions enough to validate them by acknowledging them. If those are your “opinions” then you’re a monster and you can fuck off. Don’t expect any respect from me; we need less kid gloves and more people calling out assholes in the world.
