What's with Democrats being quick to throw accusations and labels at everyone and everything they disagree with?

[Anonymous]

Do they not know this is off putting to centrist/independents and contributed to Harris losing? You hold this position or your skeptical that, with out even knowing who you are, Democrats will be quick with, so you must be this or you must support that, just because someone they don't like/disagree with had the same opinion or skepticism.

[Anonymous]

As a member of neither party, I don't find your example any more offputting than worshipping a convicted felon, pretending he's a great Christian and family man when the evidence overwhelmingly points to the opposite and then constantly lying about basic proven facts to avoid admitting to anything less than perfection on his part. It's always insulting to my intelligence on par or greater than the level of holier-than-thou Democrats telling people what they should or shouldn't think from moral high horse. Twice in a half hour you've posed obviously bias questions aimed only at one side. Saying you're a centrist independent is meaningless if you aren't going to act like one.

[Asker]

This another problem with Democrats, when there is valid criticism, they deflect with other side bad.

[Chazmatazz269]

They operate primarily off of their feelings. They don’t have empirical evidence to support their arguments anymore. So the best they have is marginalizing people who disagree with them, socially or legally. It doesn’t matter that you’re right if you’re evil. They’re taking their false moral superiority well past authoritarianism to full on fascism. We’re actually lucky that Drumpf won. If the democrats had won, they’d have every republican in the country up on trumped up criminal charges just like they did Drumpf. Independents would be given a choice, register as a democrat or go to prison with the republicans.
That’s absolutely the direction they are headed if they ever regain power.

What, like "socialist", "communist", "pedophile"?

Socialism, with democracy, is what the US is all about.

When we call people Nazis, it's because they're targeting minorities, passing laws against them, and putting them in concentration camps. You know, like Nazis.

[Asker]

"when we call people Nazis", that's part of the problem, everyone who doesn't agree with Democrats on everything gets labeled a Nazi, just ask @crazygirl2. Germany maybe putting minorities in concentration camps but not the US, temporarily putting illegals in prison is not the same as concentration camps.

[goaded]

Putting people who have been following the immigration rules and haven't committed a single crime into camps, "temporarily" or not, is patently political, so the camps are absolutely concentration camps. It's literally in the definition. You're also conveniently forgetting CECOT, which is definitely not intended to be temporary.

Whatever I said to crazygirl, it would have been that she seemed to be supporting Trump and/or the Republicans, not that she was a Nazi. It looks like you're that's admitting it's the same thing.

Finally, how often have you seen the left (and anyone who disagrees with Trump, even judges who are some of the most conservative people out there) referred to as "radical communists", not just by some know nothing moron on here, but by Donald Trump himself?

[Avicenna]

No one is being put in concentration camps in the US- by lying, you embarrass yourself further than you already have in calling people Nazis for wanting to uphold bipartisan US immigration law passed by a democratically-elected legislature after debate in a democratic society.

No foreigner has any standing to tell the US not to enforce its immigration laws.

[goaded]

@Avicenna Deny reality as much as you like.

[Avicenna]

You need to take your own advice. Not only do you have no standing to criticize the legal enforcement of US immigration laws, your complaints have no merit. There are tens of millions of illegals in the US and they have to be detained when apprehended or they will continue to roam around the country. If you don't like that, have them return to their own countries, which is the common sense thing to do.

Furthermore, given your extreme politics, you are in no position to call Trump supporters Nazis. You'd find a lot of Nazis among the many illegals you are desperately hoping stay in the US, though.

[goaded]

@Avicenna Unlike you, I don't deny reality. Nor do I make shit up, like you just did.

[Avicenna]

Goaded, you truly live in an alternate reality. I haven’t forgotten stuff like you claiming the Democrats were against illegals being in the US, which was just as completely laughable in 2024 when you posted it.

[goaded]

@Avicenna Still making shit up, I see. Who's living in an "alternate reality"?

[Anonymous]

Democrats are simply learning the tactics used by republicans for years. Republicans just don't like getting fed their own game.

[Asker]

Those tactics are losing tactics which Republicans figured, it's like Republicans and Democrats flipped. Currently many Republicans are willing to make the effort to win over your vote by focusing on area's of agreements while Democrats do the complete opposite and push voters away by focusing on area's of disagreements. Used to be Republicans would flat out reject anyone who doesn't completely agree with them, now it's Democrats.

[Opinion Owner]

There is truth in that, yes. Politics is mad.

[Asker]

This pushing voters away for failing so called purity test contributed to Harris losing. There was a question posted a while ago about it being a losing strategy for Democrats, when someone agrees with them on 99% of the issues to be intolerant of the 1% of issues they disagree on, and the first opinion was from a Democrat doubling down on the intolerance and telling the asker they should feel hated. Democrats claim the intolerance is towards extreme views, but I've witnessed it against Democrats who believe in a different path to the same goal.

[Opinion Owner]

Eh. Again. Same pretty much both ways.

[Anonymous]

The democrat party has become the party of hate and intolerance, which is ironic given they claim to be the tolerant ones. They are tolerant of who and what they agree with, and hateful and intolerant toward everyone else.

[exitseven]

They ha e nothing positive to bring so all they can do is throw rocks at the people who are actually solving problems.

[Spencer10]

"Hey pot its the kettle... how are things? I hear you are black"

[Syntosi]

Most people that get upset about being labeled by the left tend to earn their label. It is totally on brand for racists to be upset about being called racists for example.

As for your argument that Democrats should feel bad that they repelled independents away from voting Harris? Dude. You are an adult human being of voting age. Take some responsibility for who you vote for and dont blame it on someone else just because you realize that you fucked up.

[Asker]

"Tend to eran their label" BS, Democrats throw labels at everyone who disagrees with them, even if it's a Democrat. I don't need to take responsibility, Democrats do for forcing Harris while pushing potential voters away for not passing purity test.

[Syntosi]

Surprise, surprise. There is currently a lot of very bad people in USA.

And again, you are an MAN, you do not need an adult to supervise you to make sure that your vote is in your own best interest. You either vote for Democrats or you vote for Republicans but if someone is influencing you to choose one over the other like you point out, even if its Democrats repulsing you, then you are just weak and vulnerable to manipulation rather than actually taking responsibility for your own actions.

[kavakava]

They are slow learners. I can hardly wait to see the idiot they support in 2028. I hope it's aoc.

[beefcakebradybatson]

You mean like MAGANs?

[Asker]

It's not just MAGA, it's independents and other Democrats. It's gotten to the point Democrats are quick to throw labels and accusations at fellow Democrats for for not towing the party line or passing purity test. There's no nuances in the Democratic party anymore, you either support/believe exactly what you're told to support/believe or face false labels and accusations.
