[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]why are you so liberal

and will you ever admit your liberal bias on things[/quote]

I am liberal because I have the ability to empathize with others and I try to think beyond the narrow confines of what will directly benefit me. I try to think about what will benefit us.

When have I ever denied my liberal bias?

Followup

Do you think Conservatives only think about what benefits them vs what benefits society.  Can you agree there are multiple ways to get to what benefits us and that perhaps liberals are wrong sometimes.[/quote]

Conservatism barely exists in the US at the moment. Instead we have this weird Trumpism. "Me first" is very much a part of Trumpism. Trumpism views the world as being divided between us and them. I don't think they conceive of society in the way that it has normally been viewed. Social cohesion is replaced with resentment. There is no interest in doing what is best for society, but rather what is best for Trump followers. This was very aptly demonstrated recently when Mitch McConnell referred to "blue state bailouts". A wiser politician would realize that it is in Kentucky's interest for New York to recover from Covid-19. But Trump-supporting politicians see everything as a partisan battle.

To directly answer your questions, yes there are multiple ways to get to what benefits us and liberals are wrong frequently. But, Trump and his cult have no interest in what benefits "us".

Fair enough. I would add there is a category of kooky liberals who have trump derangement syndrome as well and the board tilts overwhelmingly left (not surprising Hillary got I think almost 90% DC and probably close to that in many of the inner suburbs).  That's why the politics forum is such a cesspool

Thanks for the responses and the website[/quote]
