It’s also bad behavior to blanket label a large group of people we don’t even know as either communist, elitist, fascist or racist - especially bc they wear a blue or red armband.
Would be great if we could all stop doing this (yes I include myself).
I apologize for that comment being snarky. My point was I didn’t come on BS to hear the same generalizations the media, my government and my fellows have propagandized for 8 yrs. No I don’t believe Trump is a rapist. Is he a sexist? No more or less than most men in 2024. 🧵
I voted on issues that matter most to me, not a personality. I respect others did the same. I don’t label all Democrats, brainwashed, elitist, anti-Semitic communists. Since you are on this platform I assume you’re operating w/common sense and doing that would be unfair.
I usually say to those who use this copout (and they don't like it, because they believe "Agree to disagree" would be the end of it... okay, then you only have to end it your way):
"There is nothing to disagree about - you're just wrong!"

I get that.
Regardless, if they vote for Trump they are just fine with the sexism and racism, even if they do not believe these things themselves.
You know logically that’s not true.
"There is nothing to disagree about - you're just wrong!"
And then I end the discussion.
I cringe when someone says this to me.
It is them dismissing my argument.
I do not like it when people say, "Let's agree to disagree".
To say this is condescending and smug and dismissive.
Fantastic post.
In my view all human beings deserve respect, peace, love, kindness and happiness.
