leftist here, not a liberal: AOC is a huge risk considering she went back on her word about not accepting corporate donations. Just assuming she’s the obvious best choice and she’ll win because of how dog shit Trump is doing right now is the same error made with Harris last year and Clinton in 2016. Her selective outrage about immigration during Trump but hardly even during Biden will get brought up. So many people associate her with being an establishment Dem despite MAGA saying she’s far left

That’s what I’ve been saying bruh she is literally just going to have the same outcome as Kamala but people treat her like she’s the democrat’s trump card.

No troops are getting sent over unless it’s to assassinate someone since that would be pointless when you have the combined budget of everyone but China worth of missiles at your disposal. Before anyone says I’m supporting the decision, this is just a completely objective statement. The US has the power to crush Iran in 1-2 days of “fighting” and nobody else in the world is gonna help

Technically conservatives are liberal too, but theyre not AS liberal as the modern leftist. Its a good question bc people use them interchangeably, which isn’t how it works. Leftists believe in a free market (despite some claiming to be anti capitalist) but tend to favor more government oversight, more regulation and increased spending on social programs. in it of itself isn’t terrible - its when the Gov begins fiscally and economically overstepping that it becomes an issue with conservatives

They work for a classless society

He single handedly took out the 3 main nuclear sites that were direct threats not only to Israel, but to us as well. He did not start WWIII. And for those worried about Russia or China stepping in, Russia is far too busy with Ukraine and it’s highly likely that they will not step in. And China also will likely not step in unless they feel directly threatened with things such as a lack of fuel supply.

Yes I’m aware of this however that does not preclude the illusion you just spouted… y’all were all high and mighty and anti war under trump but when dems do it your all for it. For the record I am of neither party! I voted for different parties across more elections than you have been alive for more than likely, served this country so the entitled of both sides can say what they want and not feel threatened by the opposite party, I believe in everything America once stood for.

Well if you consider the situation from a perspective that isn’t completely infantile, you can see that they can, in fact, be both. Conventionally, no they don’t pose a major threat to the US.

The differences between the Iraq War and the current situation with Iran are two, at least primarily. The first is in the amount of information available, as well as the reliability of that information. In the case of Iran, we knew for certain that they were actively pursuing a nuclear weapon and getting close to achieving that goal. The second is scale. Iraq was a full-scale invasion to capture the territory and leadership. With Iran, it was a single operation involving very surgical strikes.

I’m not in an echo chamber. All I hear constantly is conservatives telling me I’m terrible because I don’t agree with conservative rhetoric. What is this discussion going to do? You think after three comments I’m just going to go “yeah you’re right, I should support Trump like a king and never question him again”

Potentially to your surprise, I did not vote for trump. I try not to hold any animosity toward those who did, or did not. I’m sorry if people actually calm you horrible for rhetoric, but I hope conversation can actually happen. Idk why any of us are so passionate about politics if we don’t make the effort to actually talk to one another rather than scream.

i find it funny that’s the part you acknowledge instead of the fact that you entered the conversation as an aggressor. but okay. i genuinely don’t think you’re open to a real discussion and choose to believe i am some sort of villain instead of trying to have a good faith debate. i’m don’t replying to you. have a blessed night

I made the effort to talk to people. And then they attack me. So why should I continue to act nice just so people can walk all over me and tell me that I deserve to die because I don’t agree with their horrible rhetoric? And if you don’t hold any animosity towards people then why are you arguing with me for my opinions and acting like I’m wrong about everything

For you specifically, #25? I genuinely worry for you. You’re not wrong to believe what you believe, but a reactionary way of discussion is not beneficial to anyone. Hatred only gets worse that way, never better. I just wished that tonight I might be able to convince you not to judge people you don’t know so quickly, regardless of what others may have said or done to you. One message into joining this conversation and you were making assumptions about me, it’s not healthy

So how am I supposed to have a conversation with you if I can’t say anything at all? Why do I have to be the one that’s nice to everyone no matter how horrible they are to me? “Hatred only gets worse” yet republicans say hateful shit to me all the time but the moment I say anything even slightly mean to them in response then I’m the bad guy. Why should I expect someone to both be a conservative but somehow not agree with anything that conservatives agree with

I really hope nobody was taking away your ability to speak what you thought. You have to understand though that not everyone within a category is the same. Assuming every liberal/conservative is the same is no batter than assuming every white/black/hispanic/asian person is the same The whole world needs to change, not you alone. The people you hate probably need to change. But you’re not helping anyone by outright calling someone a homophobe or a racist off the bat

I don’t expect you to agree with me, or anyone else 100% on any of these issues. But if you’re trying to have a discussion, actually allow yourself to have a discussion

At what point can I call someone a homophobe or a racist, because I’d argue that if someone is supporting racist or homophobic ideas, then they are racist/homophobic. I can’t wait until they identify themselves as a racist or a homophobe because they would never do that

Anonymous #10 12w

And when I do have a discussion, I just get screamed at and told I’m a horrible person. Do I have to agree with them when they say that? And what’s the point of having a discussion if you’re just going to be ok with whatever that person believes

The whole point of discussion is to hope that you might be able to allow someone else to understand your world view. You tried to do an ethos/pathos appeal. But it is really hard for someone to see your worldview if they know you hate their guts. You don’t change people’s minds by screaming the loudest. You change them by actually talking to them

Anonymous #10 12w

You don’t have to agree with someone to have a discussion with them. Some people’s minds will never change. They’re the ones you need to learn to lay no mind to. And you keep coming back to the “horrible person” thing. I’m sorry if that is a part of your everyday life, but a lot of people on this thread actually do wish to have a conversation. You can’t just live life believing that everyone hates your guts

Republicans have won 2 elections by quite literally screaming the loudest. They refuse to change so why should I let them be horrible to me? And why do you assume I hate their guts? Meanwhile they literally hate my guts but I have be nice to them while they’re mean to me

You’re putting far too much time into making your voice heard to not be making an effort. I’m gonna say this bluntly: Who the hell is gonna want to take into account what you’re saying if all you’re doing is name-calling? You don’t sway your audience by showing that you hate them

Anonymous #10 12w

If they wished to have a discussion, why would they constantly attack me and what I think? Oh it’s because they hate me. You know how much shit I see on a daily basis wishing for the worst things to happen to anyone that’s anywhere left of the far right?

You don’t have to like people you disagree with. But if you’re trying to talk online, what’s the point of crashing out. Anonymity helps us vocalize our thoughts and inner feelings, I get it. But I can’t imagine your process of going about this is anything more than self destructive

Yes you do sway audiences by showing that you hate them. That is literally how Trump has won 2 elections

And why is it my fault for the name calling? They call me horrible shit all the fucking time, so why the hell should I be nice to them? I’m so tired of the double standards. Conservatives get to be as hateful as they want but the moment anyone criticizes them it’s “so much for the tolerant left”

I’m trying so hard here, man. I think you’re close to understanding. Whatever has happened in your life I am sorry. And I’m glad that you can use yikyak as a way to vent. I’d just like for you to think about what I’ve said—beyond the politics. Try to judge every person as an individual. Some people actually want to talk, they are the people you should be trying you’re best to talk with. You might actually change their mind. Don’t isolate yourself from everyone else

Oh so now I’m self destructive? Why because I refuse to agree with republicans on everything? You know why I’m anonymous? Because I live in the south and this is the only safe place that I can state my opinions. But given the state of the country I’m sure I’ll be hunted down for not liking Trump eventually

Bluntly: Do you expect yourself to be better than the rest of the world? Do you think everything can be changed in a day? No. The people you hate are just as much of a problem - if not more. But we can’t just stay hateful and self detrimental because of the rest of the world. We need to be the ones who actually attempt to turn the tide.

Nobody is ever changing their mind. And why am I isolating myself? I’ll have you know I have plenty of friends. I’m tired of wasting my breath and being told I’m the scum of the earth for not liking this president. I’m tired of people lying to get into a conversation, just so they can attack me and hurt me more. I’m well aware that the vast majority of people hate me just because of who I am

I hate to see you like this, man. I really do. You might be a lost cause. Just as much of a lost cause as the people you hate. I’m sorry for what the world may have done to you to leave you so hateful. I really am. I’m gonna stop trying here. I hope one day you come to understand what I’m trying to say

How am I a hateful person. Yeah I think homophobes and racists are bad. Somehow that makes me hateful. Clearly you don’t hate to see me like this. You think I’m a hateful person and a lost cause. You think I’d be better off killing myself and doing the world a favor

I wanted to be done but I need to speak up for myself. Never - have I called you a horrible person. Never - did I suggest that you tell hateful people that they are right. All I suggest is that if you’re going to have a discussion - actually allow yourself to have a discussion. I’ve actually wasted two hours of my life hoping that we would talk, but all you’ve done is claim victim of being called a terrible person. You’re passionate, but let that passion actually lead to something

Jesus Christ, no - I don’t think you should kill yourself. By lost cause, I meant you’re not even open minded to the thought of being open minded. You need help, man. You can’t seriously be saying all this suicidal crap and not think so

Anonymous #10 12w

You literally said I’m a hateful person that’s a lost cause. I have never claimed to be a victim. And what would it lead to? Because according to you, my passion makes me a hateful lost cause. Passion never leads to anything. So here I’ll give you what you want. Republicans are right about anything and I should never criticize them. Is that what you want?

I really genuinely hope you’re a ragebaiter at this point. Otherwise you’re so damn dense. I’m not a republican, I didn’t vote for trump. I called out your quickly aggressive messages and all of a sudden I’m just like all the other people you hate. The people who call you a terrible person. I don’t even know if you’ve been reading my messages because I literally elaborated on what I meant by “lost cause.”

I am open minded. You think I’m happy about this? Wasting 2 hours of my life when I have to be up in 6 hours for work all because I pointed out that the party that has been against gay rights for decades is homophobic. What do you want me to do? Agree with everyone? Because that’s not being open minded. Being open minded is thinking about a position and deciding if you agree with it. I can be open minded and have my own opinions

I’m only pissed off now because you’re so negligent of what you’re doing. I wish you the best, but I’m really getting nothing out of this. Next time you go about arguing with people on YikYak, ask yourself why. Why do you gaf? If it’s not to change peoples minds then why do you gaf? No - you are just getting your repressed frustration out via an anonymous thread. Good day to you. Hope the people you hate get stuck down by zues, maybe then you’ll actually consider what I tried to do

Wow you are really worked up about this. Its time to put your phone away for the night and go to sleep. Take a break. If your this worked up over some internet beef then your way to invested. It would be one thing if this was an actual conversation but this is litterally just an anonymous thread. No one knows who you actually are no one cares about what you think or feel on either side so just stop talking and put your phone away its not worth getting worked up over
