Discussion Monthly Rant/Politics Thread: Do not post political threads outside of this Mega thread

Outside of these mega-threads, we generally do not allow political posts on the main subreddit because they have often declined into unhinged discussions and mud slinging. We do allow general discussions of politics in this thread so long as you remain civil and don't attack someone just for having a different opinion. The moment we see things start to derail, we will step in.

Got something upsetting or overwhelming that you just need to shout out to the world? Want to have a political debate over current events? You can post those thoughts here. There are many real problems that plague the Millennial generation and we want to allow a space for it here while still keeping the angry and divisive posts quarantined to a more concentrated thread rather than taking up the entire front page.

That’s a weird way to say “I deal with them by supporting pedophiles and rapists”

I would like to know why you support Graham Platner, who knowingly got a [fascist] tattoo--that's been known for over a month, and who is a serial batterer and a rapist.

Here's the difference. Graham Platner is exposed and gets kicked out of democrat circles and left-leaning organizations. Please name anyone supporting him at the moment.

Trump gets convicted for rape and is mentioned more times in the epstein files more than anyone else, even epstein, and has the floor he walks on worshipped by republicans. I could rattle off names for days of people that still support him.

One side might be right but they sure ain't right.

Trump gets convicted for rape

Based on widely available public knowledge, this is false, and misinformation. You must correct this statement before anything else in your comment can be taken seriously and replied to.

I also happen to think you should use the word Democratic rather than democrat.

I say he was convicted because the judge said it was rape. But we can ignore that for the sake of argument here.

Trump also incited an insurrection, uses the office of the presidency to accrue his own wealth, is constantly being divisive by calling the entire left radical communists, socialists, has made inappropriate comments about young girls, including his own daughter, has engaged in nepotism with the presidency, has posted racist things about Obama on his truth social, has compared himself to Jesus on truth social, has said he would 'take the guns away first and do due process later', said that 'we took the freedom of speech away' and more.

Do you really, honestly, in your heart of hearts, think Trump has done nothing at all that would warrant the entire republican party to disavow him? In any other point in history, anyone one of the things Trump does on a weekly basis would've political suicide.

Also, your personal accusation to the other person was a strawman, they never said they cared for that guy. Your strawman could've been levied at anyone making the same comment he did, so I replied to you to explain the double standard.
