[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Still waiting to hear how the PP thinks we should all “compromise”.

Since this all, you know, our fault.

Gawd, you're insufferable (and I'm on YOUR SIDE).

How should you compromise?

1. Recognize that those with differing political beliefs are not the enemy.

2. Even if they are, recognize that screaming at them or ignoring them will not improve the situation.

3. Attempt to address their concerns in ways that you find reasonable. To take an easy example, race-based affirmative action could be replaced with affirmative action based on economic disadvantage (as many left-leaning scholars have long proposed).

I could give literally 100 more examples, but it's pretty straightforward across the board, with only a few truly irreconcilable positions. [/quote]

No, you're not on "my side". You're a sht stirring troll who enjoys being a dick.

1. obviously - these are friends & family 
2. no sht - we've spent years diplomatically trying to discuss
3. they aren't not interested in having a reasonable discussion based on facts or reason. it's impossible to compromise when we aren't working off the same fundamentals.

Let's hear more of these examples. Your idea that there are a hundred easy "compromises" is ridiculous.

Blaming Trump on the people trying to fight disinformation is ridiculous. Gaslighting, in fact. Trollish sht stirring.

You are 100% missing the point.

I'm not "blaming Trump" on the people trying to fight disinformation.

I'm saying that calling Trump voters "Nazis", cutting them out of your lives, and otherwise excoriating them will make things worse, not better.

And I'm suggesting that we focus on how to solve the problem, rather than on how the problem makes you feel.

You know, grown up stuff.[/quote]

There is zero benefit to include MAGAs in our lives. Engaging with them is not the solution. Been there, done that. You cannot change people who don't want to change.

This poster is blaming Trump on them: 
"A lot of people have never learned the art of compromise [u]which is why we are in the situation we are in[/u]. It's all or nothing for them."

Still waiting to hear what are the "compromises" on fascism and bigotry.

Read the science on extremism posted above. Simply put, you're wrong.

As for compromises, pick a specific topic and I'll be very glad to provide a suggestion. [/quote]

Again, been there, done that. You cannot change people who don't want to change. We literally tried for years.

How do you compromise on: 
Blaming helicopter/plane crash on "DEI". 
Removing transgender from passports. 
Removing checks and balances in the government. 
Destabilizing the government with DOGE/FORK.

This person isn't conversing in good faith.  They are just freaking out that we are done with them.  [/quote]
