RepubliCoViD. It's a thing, don't catch it.

Yep. Now it just needs a catchy name to pin it to them.

Morona virus

"morona?"

What about MAGA Virus?

Nah, that would martyr trump.

Moron with an A. Morona virus. It’s a virus that’s still around thanks to morons after all.

I'm sure you have actual facts and statistics to prove your statement that republicans are the ones spreading the virus. I'm more apt to guess that the virus isn't picking and choosing republicans over democrats, because that would be a really stupid assumption.

Oh, but of course :)

Can you show me a majority of democrats that aren't taking the vaccine?

The vaccine has nothing to do with it. But since you went that rout, there are many Republicans getting the vaccine as well. It isn't a Democrat vs Republican issue, it's a personal issue that has to do with anti-vax people who don't want to take it.

But it is what it is. I'm sure my comment will disappear on here and you won't have to worry about me stating my opinion. PoliticsTOO seems to love deleting comments they don't agree with.

You're entitled to your opinion. But trying to state a fact as an opinion is not some clause for the defense of free speech.

Yes, we don't agree with harassment/cyberbullying, misinformation, conspiracy theories, etc. Why is that so hard for some to understand? I guess some people are just have vitriol laced into their personality. *shrug*

Of course, if you have any issues with any deleted comments, you can take them to any mod for to appeal/discuss. I am one of the more conservative moderators on this forum that rarely deletes/bans anyone.

That said, opinions should contribute to the discussion of the meme and be constructive in some manner, regardless of right/left bias. Respect is given freely, here as far as I am concerned. I've even pulled aside left-wing people and told them to dial it back. However, once people return the respect given with vitriol, that's where I come in. This isn't #politics stream; we have standards for civility.

I hope you enjoy your time here :)

addendum: Facts which are incorrect cannot be claimed as opinion in defense of free speech.

"Yes, we don't agree with harassment/cyberbullying, misinformation, conspiracy theories, etc. Why is that so hard for some to understand?"

The problem with your "misinformation" is tat you're basing it on opinion, not fact. You claim certain things are fact when in reality it's merely an opinion. You claim you have facts to back up your opinion and when someone counters with their facts, you (not you personally, since I don't know you, but your party) delete the comment and claim it's "spreading misinformation." I don't care if my comments are deleted on this stream. I'm only pointing out the hypocrisy of someone claiming misinformation based solely on opinion.

"I hope you enjoy your time here :)"

It is what it is. I choose to come on here every now and then so as I stated, I don't care if my comments are deleted, just pointing it out.

The problem with your "misinformation" is tat you're basing it on opinion, not fact.

>> Spreading the big lie, that's misinformation, factually. It's not an opinion.
Stating that the vaccine doesn't work, that's misinformation.
Stating that a zygote is a living, sentient human being is not factual, that is misinformation.

You claim certain things are fact when in reality it's merely an opinion. You claim you have facts to back up your opinion and when someone counters with their facts, you (not you personally, since I don't know you, but your party) delete the comment and claim it's "spreading misinformation." I don't care if my comments are deleted on this stream. I'm only pointing out the hypocrisy of someone claiming misinformation based solely on opinion.

>> Hypocrisy/double standards, I have noticed, comes hand in hand with politics. You either suck it up and admit that they exist on both sides and move on, or you can continue to get worked up over something that is intrinsic to politics and wear yourself out. Bottom line on that thought? Anyone who's been taking politics seriously (and has been paying attention), won't take someone who shouts "Hypocrisy!" very seriously

Even so, if you're just coming here to point the finger and shout "Hypocrites!" that's not constructive. It's destructive and is not conducive to this stream; it isn't welcomed here. You're welcome to say it, but try to offer an alternative. One, that isn't "Let's do my way, because it's better." Try saying something like "I understand why you reason the way you do, I see why this is important and I understand. So, I would like to recommend something that is kind of a half-way mark." i.e. offer compromise or something that can help alleviate the situation.

Coming here to just point fingers and berate people here isn't tolerated. This is not a place for you to come vent out at people you don't know about your political woes. You might see some of us doing that with each other (there are right-wing members here.) but, that's because we know each other. We remind ourselves at the end of the day, it's just politics and our ability to communicate across the aisle is more important than our political values.

That's why we're different than politics stream. They'd rather laugh in someone's face, barrage them with degrading comments. Who wants to voluntarily understand people like that and talk to them? Who wants to endure that kind of harassment and abuse? Nobody. Of course, this repulsiveness in the stream is amplified by the circle jerk going on over there. Here, we make sure everyone can feel free to talk about things as they desire.

The only rule you really have to follow here, is be civil. If you need help in being civil, there are people who can help you.
