Which political party is more tolerant?


Well, I'm not going to vote on this because Democrats are not the same as liberals, and Republicans are not the same as conservatives, and frankly, both political parties are ass.
As far as the message of the question goes... One side just wants to be peaceful and left alone and live in a society where their rights can not be infringed upon, and the other side wants to call them White supremacists, sexists, racists, Nazis, homophobes, and all the other sh*t you can think of, while looting and rioting and throwing temper tantrums for literally four years because their evil witch queen didn't win the popularity contest to be the American Wizard of OZ, while also being the most anti-white, anti-male, anti-Trump, closed-minded assholes to ever exist in modern history. So the conservatives are the more tolerant people in society right now.
I'm a Centrist, but it's pretty obvious the biggest pieces of sh*t nowadays are coming from the far-left. The ones so closed-minded and dumb, they want to call all Trump supporters evil while then also wondering why they keep losing elections and no one will support them.
Trump isn't even a figure no regular everyday person should give a sh*t about; the Democratic elites only hate him because they can't control him and he costs them money. Almost every American and non-American who hates Trump is just an idiotic sheep doing what CNN told them to. And to be clear, I mean HATES Trump, not just find him foolish, undignified, ridiculous, or a bad president or anything. The ones who think "if you support Trump, you're a Nazi." The Trump Derangement Syndrome people.
Again, he's the Clintons' arch enemy, not yours. Stop being such goddamn sheep and Useless Idiots. The Puritans, McCarthyists, and the Nazis are not remembered as the good guys in history, and that's what all you TDS people are. You'll be remembered as the a**holes of the 2010's. You literally create more Trump supporters than anything else. No one wants to rally behind vitriolic a**holes who'd rather see their own country fail than admit they were wrong four-f*cking-years ago! And I won't even get started on supporting Biden, a man who is quite literally everything you claim to hate about Trump...
Rant over.
Well I believe leftists and democrats talk about tolerance a lot more. It seems they are pretty intolerant as long as you believe exactly like they do. If you deviate in any thing even slightly you are pretty much vilified and they want you shamed, fired and ostracized.
They are also more into class warfare and pitting group against group, race against race, gender against gender. They classify everyone into a "group" and proceed accordingly depending on what your group is. They do not believe in "JUSTICE" they reject that for "SOCIAL JUSTICE". Everyone isn't treated equally. They take into account your group first then proceed. If you are black or white or poor or rich or male or female they first want to know that and it affects their judgement and reaction.
Hence... they go crazy standing against any criticism of islam and go nuts over any intense screening that may be done for people trying to migrate from a dangerous area that has a lot of violence and anti-west hatred. Then they freak out that this Supreme Court judge is a Catholic. Is there freedom of religion or not? Can you discriminate against religion or not? She doesn't even have to do anything... just the mere suggestion that she goes to church and has faith is some damning offense. They kind of pick and choose when to be tolerant and when not to.
That author from Harry Potter just made some remark discussion women and being trans or not. It wasn't any outlandish statement... she is pretty liberal but everyone had a conniption that she even uttered the comment a trans person might not be 100% woman or something. They wanted her banned. They hated her. She didn't follow every cutting edge agenda exactly as she is to think and if she disobeyed... they could try and ruin her life.
I think one party preaches tolerance a lot but deep down... they really are not tolerant.
Neither. There is a serious lack of tolerance from all sides in this country. Very few people genuinely listen to the other sides' viewpoints and respond rationally. While there are exceptions, it seems to me that hardly anyone values respectful dialogue with those they disagree with.
Well i mean its easy to see why. Im not 100% sure why liberals dont believe live and let live but from a conservative side... idgaf if you want to have gay wiccan sex orgies... i do care if you want to FORCE me to be involved by paying for the abortions, healthcare for those who catch diseases and transgender surgeries of those people. If i was simply uninvolved i wouldn't care at all. It really is that simple. Why would i want to respect and work with someone who seeks to take more and more of my money to pay for things i find offensive? Liberals might find me offensive but i dont seek to make them pay for behaviors, id rather pay for my own anyways.
@bamesjond0069 I am conservative myself so I understand what you are saying. However, it goes for both sides. While I and yourself may not care if someone wants to have "gay wiccan sex orgies," there are plenty of conservatives who do. Many conservatives want to control the lives of other people, just like many liberals want to control what conservatives. Like I said in my response above though, there are exceptions on both sides so I'm glad to hear that you are more reasonable in your approach to others.
there are no mainstream conservative consensus to control liberals. Essentially every single liberal agenda point is about forcing conservatives to be involved in things they find offensive.
Essentially every single conservative agenda point is about removing conservatives from things they find offensive. Ie conservatives dont want to be forced to expose themselves and their kids to transgenders nor pay for their surgeries. YET im not aware of a large majority of conservatives or any conservative politicians seeking to prison transgenders. Where liberals want to force you to let your kids learn transgenderism in school, pay for them etc.
So im disagreeing that conservatives as a whole are seeking to control any liberals at all on pretty much any issues.
@bamesjond0069 We can agree to disagree then.
Do you have an example of a mainstream conservative agenda that is seeking to control liberal minded people?
The right side. I can think on my own and not be bothered. If I say anything the left hates I get called a wetback, a traitor, racist, etc.
The left are loonies. Fuck them.
Lmao, sure buddy keep making yourself a victim. You racist cunt.

I use two online dating sites. I have seen many female profiles that say, "If you voted for Trump, don't bother to contact me.". I have not seen a single profile that says, "If you voted for Clinton (or if you're going to vote for Biden,) don't bother to contact me.". Not a single one.
democrats view only their own news sources where republicans have a more balanced media diet https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2158244019832705
democrats 3x more likely to stop being friends over political differences https://fortune.com/2016/12/19/social-media-election/
here is a map with political intolerance laid out by county https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2019/03/us-counties-vary-their-degree-partisan-prejudice/583072/
note the strong correlation between left wing areas and intolerance
here is a study that shows conservatives can have their opinions on democrats changed. But democrats stay bigoted against republicans and won’t update their opinions http://depts.washington.edu/uwcssc/sites/default/files//Manbeck%202018.pdf
Tell a liberal your opposing stance on politics example build the wall, voting for trump, mentioning lies they tell about black people like systimic oppression police brutality etc. How often will you be called a racist, bigot and get pissed off at you just for having a difference stance. You could openly talk about political subjects on main stream media as long as its on the liberal side.. You hardly hear conservative politics on main stream media because often they will be back lash and fear of being canceled.
Of course they'll always be intolerance on both sides but on average it's liberals by far. Anyone in a neutral stand point who is aware of politics could see the answer. The answer is plastered all over main stream media.
I'll also add it's way easier having a political discussion with a dude then a girl. Many girls seem unable to detach they're emotions from politics and emotions cloud judgment. College students as well seem more intolerant because colleges try to constantly force they're ideology on students and shun those on opposing sides
Oh the irony one preaches tolerance when acts intolerant.
Saying tell a liberal is an insult? I'm not even a republican if that's what your thinking.
Also I would have voted for a democratic president this election but he didn't make it so I'm not voting this election.
You implied it but ok
The other day a very outspoken and confrontational liberal came into my job. She's a regular customer so she knows enough about me to know that I am a trump supporter. I also find her very physically attractive, so after she went on her usual spiel about how horrible Trump is I asked her if she wants to take me to dinner to tell me more about it. I was being completely cordial and transparent with her. Her response was "fuck you"! To me that is the epitome of a Democrat, only tolerant to people who share the same perspective which is essentially intolerance. Personally I don't hate her and I think there still a possibility she May reconsider and agree to spend some time with me.
In my circle of acquaintances, Republicans are as a rule more tolerant of differing opinions. There seems to be a greater amount of listening by Republicans that I know than there is by the Democrats I know. My social circle is pretty small, so I can't draw any general conclusions.
I can only speak for the US, where I live.
I used to consider myself a liberal, partly because I viewed liberals as tolerant and conservatives as intolerant, at least that was my perception based on a lot of things, but mostly the prominent rhetoric from liberals. But over the last six years or so I have learned that the exact opposite is true. Liberals today are by far the most intolerant and hate-driven segment of US society. You can see that clearly in the stuff posted daily here on GAG by some of the most prominent liberal users here, and of course in the real world all around us. You can almost see the foam around their mouths and the smoke coming out of their ears as you read what they have written. It's crazy.
I consider myself neither a liberal nor a conservative. But if I was forced to identify as one or the other, it would be conservative. I am truly ashamed of what liberalism has become today.
Line for line thos is my exact thoughts and experience. I thought the left was tolerant from how often they preach tolerance and how they portray conservatives. Once you just take a step back on a neutral stand point it's obvious. I think your experience is that of most people who walk away from the left.
Republicans by far and it isn't even remotely close. The Dems look have this insidious worldview where they place people in discrete categories (e. g rich and poor, white and black) and presume that differences between these categories is due to some kind of injustice in our institutions like racism or money in politics. If you like these institutions they proclaim that you must support the mechanisms within them by which they supposedly keep people of another category down. And so we have gotten to the point that if you stand for the anthem, the democrats will accuse you of being a racist who doesn't care about BLM. Ironically, that hapoened to a black man... Democrats hate diversity of thought, and they hate people who love their country, its history, and its institutions.
Republicans, and it’s not even close. The left created cancel culture... not the right!!!
if you disagree with the left on anything, it’s because your Racist, homophobic, Xenophobic or just a cisgender breeding asshole!!! the left is eating itself alive right now. When you decide to view the world through the lenses of “oppressor” and “oppressed”. You start to find victims and evil people every where you look!! Welcome to the religion of “wokeness”
Republicans, and if anyone thought different all they need to do is look at the latest circus they have going on with the SCOTUS. Lol, all I am waiting for is try to say she sexually assaulted someone and then METOO will have a whole new meaning. Especially after the multiple times they show their double standards when it is one of their own.
I'm gonna be a genius and say the Republicans are more tolerant because they haven't been in the streets for over 120 burning shit down, killing people for supporting their political opposition, and looting stores, threatening stores, and beating up anyone they can get their grubby little hands on. Can't say that about the Democraps.
A black man is welcomed in open arms at a Trump rally. If he puts on a MAGA hat, he’d be harassed at a Biden ‘rally’.
Well put
Left: Cancel everyone who agrees with us, harrass diners out at night who are not bothering us, stop traffic for people trying to get to work
Right: Leave us alone and we'll leave you alone
Do you mean disagree? I get what you meant though
@IAMNathanael Yes, that was a typo!
Right on!
Neither is tolerant. Tolerance you see how much they stamp their feet on the things that interest you and when it happens to the dems the sjw come out which are one of the two least tolerant things I have ever seen, from the gop the religious fundamentalists come out the others less tolerant. Therefore there is no difference in terms of tolerance.
Republicans will actually listen to other side. Democrats just preach to you and then insult you for not agreeing.
Usually republicans from what I've noticed. I've seen so many democrats unfriend people just because of their beliefs. I'm not saying republican's don't do it either, but it's a way larger scale with democrats.
I agree with your assessment. Democrats bill themselves as tolerant but they are only tolerant of those with shared beliefs which, by definition, isn't tolerant at all.
Democrats are way more tolerant, they are like a carnival side freak show. All the fucked up freaky fuckers, dick suckers, trans freaks, fuck up want to be's, anarchists, looters, arsonists, some freaks with no names yet, Marxists and every other type of non-mainstream odd balls. They are a clearning house of special weirdo interest groups.

by the way, Republicans nowadays, the left overthere became radical and won't tolerate anyone who disagrees with them.
Dems should pretend to be a republican on http://www.reddit.com/r/poltics/ for a week, then report back.
If we're just talking america then Republicans. You don't see Republicans running around wanting to cancel anyone who disagrees with them.
I used to feel one was more tolerant than the other. I think the divide is blurring it now. One was always intolerant. I'd say more but these are intolerant times we are living in
Republicans didn't invent political correctness or sjws so..
Libertarian. We judge people as individuals and don't care what you do as long as you are not assaulting the person or property of another.
The extremes of both parties are as toxic as the other. Unfortunately they are the minority that gets portrayed in the media.
We all need to be more tolerant even as we disagree
Equal but moderates and libertarians are the most tolerant though.
The results of the poll are hilarious
All the rednecks said Republicans 😂😂
Bitch please I'm Californian, you fucking wish.
My apologies. I forgot the bimbos 😘
Lmfao and where are you from coward? NY? The wannabe Cali 🤣💁🏻♀️
@Littlemissbrat New York is nothing like California. Are you on drugs? Formal, professional, bankers dominate New York not tech.
I meant the people moving there to have big dreams and live in the city and shit 🤷🏻♀️
The same could be said about LA
@Littlemissbrat I would think most people move here for money. Think Gordon Gekko, Jordan Belfort, it’s not known as some fun place to party, and get famous.
you realize the irony of using a derogatory term in the middle of your comment about your side being more tolerant right?
Which country's party are you asking? because I will answer accordingly.
America
Okay, but i think regardless of the country, "left political parties" are always tolerant. the only thing I will ask you is: who are the leaders of these parties (democrats, republicans) and what are their ideologies?
And if I were also an American citizen, I would definitely vote for the "left party".
The leader depends on how far left you are and it appears to be the opposite, they'll call anyone who doesn't vote for them a nazi or race traitor if they're black and justify violence against them for their beliefs
What exactly do you mean? I am a leftist and I will probably vote for the left party, whether I live in my country or live in another country. Are you leftist or rightist?
We don't say rightist, but I'm conservative.
But we accept conservative is also a near-right ideology. So, are you religious? Because religious people are mostly conservative and support the right wing.
I'm Catholic, and know the difference between conservative and right wing. Right wing is associated with extremism in the same way that being left wing is. I differ from the right wing in that i support the LGBTQ+ community, i don't see being gay as a sin at all, and i don't care if people smoke weed as long as they keep their distance because i don't want particles from it clogging my airways.
Finally, one more question: as a conservative do you attack atheists in your country? Lol
I don't attack anyone, I'd only attack in self defense
You are right.
Not all republicans are racist but almost all racists vote republican
But the democrats founded the KKK and 98% of the liberal media and liberal celebrities have practiced black face, including up to 2019... so what’s that again?
The true racists are the ones who believe blacks can't achieve anything without white people helping them.
Not all Democrats are racist, but the subtle racists all vote Democrat.
That Republicans who are racist are more blatantly racist and the democrats who are racist are low key and double standards type of racist. Most dems don't even know how racist they could be but at least the republican racist own it lol
i think the democrats are extremely racist, especially the racism of low expectations for blacks and latinos
Don't forgot it's not racist as long as a derogatory remark is directed towards a white person
Last I checked, it was the democrats telling people they have to vote for them or else
blm votes democrat. So wouldn't that make most racists vote democrat?
Republicans are more tolerant.
As a liberal, I would say 'right'
I concur. A genuine liberal doesn't really have any choice. Oh how the left have abandoned genuine liberalism...
fuck democrats
Both are divided
Whats the vote telling you
Libertarians.
None
I call them none violent political gangsters because in the end they care more about their party then the country
They both suck.
