#2231 I think Putin is so hot.
#2230 me: i hate drama
also me whilst reading mac confessions:
#2229 Why do all people from Wisconsin look the same?
#2228 Bernie wouldve won
#2227 Folks who read the Hege (basically everyone) - clean up your shit. I don't work for Bon App, but leaving cafe mac today looked like a fucking minefield with dozens of Heges left on tables, chairs, and worst of all the floor. Your mom doesn't live here, and I believe in your ability to pick up a magazine and put it in the recycling (or even back in the news-stand). This is what grown-ass adults can and should do.
#2226 Raise your hand if you have ever felt personally victimized by MCSG
#2225 So tired of these straw man argument against having dialogue with conservatives and/or Trump supporters. You say "conservatives support policy that results in harming of minorities, therefore they are awful and we don't need to connect or talk to them as they are ignorant fascists". It's a sign of your arrogance that you can't even recognize that the contested assumption here is that these policies are inherently and obviously harmful to minorities. Or even to assume the position that the only thing that matters is whether policies are net good or net bad exclusively to minorities.
I believe there are more problems that face America than just marginalization. The attempt to frame my arguments in the most absurd possible light by painting me as an evil fascist is a pathetic excuse for a defense against a willingness for our community to allow open dialogue.
Yes there are racists and fascists on the far right. They also exist on the far left. But they don't represent the majority on either side. If you can't see that, you're blind.
#2224 The 2016 election proved that calling the other side racists, sexists, nazis, stupid, uneducated, uncultured, ect. only served to alienate moderates and entrench conservatives resulting in a Trump Presidency. If you think the reason Trump won is because America became more racist in the 4 years since Obama's win, you are wrong. Radical liberals created President Trump by alienating moderates (The largest voting group in America).
The liberal response: Intensify insulting as opposed to engaging in constructive dialogue. If you think I'm a racist, nazi, sexist, ect. for saying this, you are part of the problem, not the solution...
