I'm an American and I completely understand why you feel the way you do. I feel that way much of the time too. I am ashamed to be an American right now. We are a deeply divided country. We have been radicalized by far-right extremists and media. They stoke fear and hate and view holding on to...

But at least one political party, the Democrats, still believe in democracy.

That's exactly correct. I've seen it play out this way before. Republicans mess up the country because they are incapable of governing. Democrats then get elected and try to fix the mess but can't entirely. Republicans blame Democrats for not fixing the Republican mess and the voters with short...

Small business owners are hurting too, as much if not more, than big business.

I will try to explain this to you one more time, but you seem to have a mental roadblock on this topic. To enact gun safety legislation what's needed is a majority in the House of Representatives, 60% of the Senate, and a POTUS who will sign the proposed legislation into law. Even if Democrats...

That's were you are wrong in blaming both sides. Republicans have completely acquiesced to the NRA, the gun lobby, gun manufacturers, and those Americans who think the 2nd amendment gives them the right to own weapons of war. Democrats want sensible gun safety legislation but cannot get...

On Saturday night 3 were killed and 5 wounded, 1 critically, at a bar in North Carolina. The carnage continues in the Wild West that is the USA. We are an angry, murderous, and armed to the teeth nation.

Wishing me a terrible day and reporting me for politely responding to your posts - posts that I find very inflammatory - is unacceptable behavior. I have tried to make peace with you and have a civil discussion to no avail. I'm placing you on ignore and suggest you do the same. Good day...

I don't know what that means, but you have the ability and prerogative to stop anytime you want. I hope we are done with the bickering.

I believe the words I used were "pro right-wing" not far right. I have gleaned that opinion from your words that I find unambiguous. We will never, ever meet in person so we are limited to this forum. I find that in your writing you are very quick to label and villainize people on the left, so...

Your words are unambiguous and your message is very clear. I am not deciding what you are. You have decided who you are all by yourself. My lane is not your concern because I have a right to free speech. So do you and I approve of your right, although I think you're exercising that right in...

Not to prolong this discussion any further, but I think you do give a rat's ass and are very pro right-wing. Your words speak for themselves and they speak very strongly. That said while I disagree with your opinions, I concur that continuing this debate is futile. Have a wonderful day.

I'm not trying to convince you because that effort would be unavailing. You've been very loquacious with your opinions on this board so you should expect some pushback. Have a nice day.

No one knows the motives or political ideology of the Texas shooter. He may have been a anti-government extremist, a nihilist, or who knows what else. He was a deeply disturbed, murderous young man is all we know for sure. You shouldn't jump to conclusions without all the facts. And by the...

All I'm saying is that trump is a convicted criminal yet plays the victim all the time. He hasn't had anyone killed yet, but will call on the Justice department to prosecute his political opponents.

Who are the thousands of liberals inciting violence and cheering anyone's death? Liberals were horrified by Kirk's death. However, liberals were opposed to his radical right-wing rhetoric. Two things can be true at the same time.

Do you realize you are describing trump?

Thank you for your thoughts. I understand your concerns and agree with your assessment. To me it was a "no-brainer" just based on his depraved character alone much less the litany of other reasons making him so unfit for office. Last year I was visiting Montreal a few days before the election...

I don't completely disagree with you, but I'd like to put that in context. Politically the U.S. is deeply and evenly divided so presidential elections decided on the margins. Independent voters in 6 or 7 purple, swing states determine the winner. Unfortunately, many of these swing voters make...

However, it's not an isolated incidence of anger. Anger has been baked in to our politics and our DNA for decades and exacerbated during the trump era. Right-wing media, trump, and MAGA constantly feed red meat to the base to keep the base angry, hateful, and fearful. Constant anger is...
