you’re not wrong. I feel brow beaten but that’s really because politically I have no idea where I stand anymore. I’d probably take it less to heart if I was more firm on my own views. I may seem to tapdance a little around the issues trying to be thoughtful of other people’s opinions. thank you for your thorough and kind insight. I have previously kept my opinions to myself but l am trying to grow as a person and that means engaging in meaningful discourse.
Look, I don’t really know you or your personal values, but I would just suggest you keep the following in the back of your head:
When you look at political discussion and debates, which side goes out of its way to try and help people that aren’t like them and which side generally is fighting only for people like them.
I disagree with a lot of the policy particulars of the Democrats, but the issue for me is that my only other viable option is a party trying to rip away basic rights from a lot of the population. Right now the basic question we seem to be struggling with as a country is: “should we be using our massive collective wealth to help people?” as well as “should people be allowed to live the way they want, as long as they aren’t hurting others?”.
If you can answer that basic question, start looking at the policy positions of each party through that lens.
