I see very little evidence of that, but maybe we're just reading different people.
Have you seen criticism of Biden or Obama or Clinton?
reply
Like I said, stackers tend to avoid talking partisan politics, so the specific people don't come up often. However, the policies that get criticized on here are overwhelmingly left-wing Democrat policies.
I haven't noticed that from @kepford and I've been reading him since before you joined SN, but I might have missed it. I also don't really care who's being criticized, as long as the criticism is accurate or interesting.

Responding out of respect for @Undisciplined.
Wow, this is hilarious. I RARELY see anyone here praising "the left", certainly not me. Especially not Biden or Obama. Honestly its not interesting to me. They are so pathetic store clerks that I wouldn't waste my time on. It is intellectually boring. I don't read stackers saying if we can just get BIden in there we will be alright. If people want to talk about the red team and blue team go anywhere else and get your fill of that garbage. I'd rather talk about intellectually interesting things you don't hear on every political podcast.
What I do see here are some people clinging to their political team as if that will save them. People that really should know better. People that probably will know better in 5 - 10 years. I was completely wrapped up in partisan politics on the right many years ago. I don't think folks realize how spun up they are by it all. How it is tainting their perception of reality.
In the US you have two parties. One is driving 90 miles an hour over the cliff and the other is driving the speed limit over the cliff. The conservative politicians are just progressives driving the speed limit. I hold no hope in politics, elections, or voting.

I actually do find this stuff interesting, but it's hard to talk about it without partisans flooding in with their talking points. I do generally agree with you about the particular political figures not being that interesting, though.
reply
Yeah, that's what I'm getting at. Partisanship is boring and the arguments fall flat on me. They are so tired and worn out. I have opinions on Trump and RFK and Biden but really don't care to waste my time writing about it or talking about it. Gets really old.
reply
Do you have opinions about zero bail?
Law enforcement?
Death penalty?
IQ and race?

What issue is important to you?
What issue is not boring?
reply
You wrote a piece about RFK
reply
Not all partisans are stubborn and not all talking points are wrong.
reply
That's certainly true, but talking points are boring because we've all heard them 1000 times already.
reply
Fair enough
My problem is with the pejorative use of “talking point” to dismiss a valid argument
My lefty friends call me Mr talking points if I say anything they disagree with
Sometimes I say something not realizing it’s a talking point. I don’t carry notecards
reply
Politics is boring and a waste of time.
Ergo people interested in politics are boring and wasting their time.
You’re probably right but you don’t have to be condescending either
reply
RFK is running as a third party
reply
Remember the thread about Trump guilty of fraud and owes 464 million dollars.
Many on the thread supported the judgement as fair and hoped the penalty was 5 billion dollars
@oliverweiss has Trump derangement syndrome.
Kepford has a clear bias against outsider politicians. He says trust no politician so naturally he picks on non career politicians like RFK and Trump
reply
Thanks for keeping me in the loop. Would be better if you just zap me instead . But ok. Btw., I am not praising Biden either, nor democrats, leftists, any party. I am pretty sure you won’t find any post in this direction. But I do think that Trump is a disgusting person, I did gave you my description of him, you were just fine with. I thought we were done but apparently not.
reply
I don't remember that thread. Can you link to it?
reply
reply
That's a different thread and it definitely doesn't support your anti-kepford claims.
reply
My point is the criticism is one sided.
Kepford pretends to be neutral but is a closet socialist
reply
This rings very false to me. As far as I can tell, he's about as free market as anyone. You might just not agree with some of his opinions.
reply
He is a closet leftist because he always defends the left.
His rationalization of Islamic terrorists by comparing them to neoconservatives is disgraceful
