It's almost as if, people living off big bro, begging for free money and debt forgiveness have plenty of free time to chat on the internet all day.. Meanwhile, conservatives are out in the world trying to hold the damn thing together!
Regarding the matter at hand. I don't agree that it's right to ban people who have opposing views. Most of my comment history here is talking to the leftists about that exact thing. Because yes, this place, as new as it is, is already feeling like a lefty's echo chamber...
sad x indeed
Have you actually asked people how they make a living, or are you just assuming?
Why is it that it is ok for the airline industry, the banks, corporate AG, etc, can all get these corporate bailouts, but when it is the people themselves that need a bailout, it's mocked and derrided?

Here is a list of corporations who have gotten govenment bailouts. Have you taken issue with a single one of these? Or do you only ever talk about social programs? Because when I poke my head inside conservative spaces all of the complaints go towards services that help people instead of corporate bail outs.
There are just as many posts on the internet from conservatives as there are from leftists.
Conservatives are voting to destroy the environment at every chance:

How can they hold the world together when they are voting to kill the environment/world?
I'm from Alaska. Everyone I know and their sons either kill millions of salmon every year or works for the oil industry.
You're right that big bro probably shouldn't be bailing out anyone. Unfortunately, truly free markets are hard to advocate for. The college debt topic is an easy target because we're tradesmen who didn't need colleges to begin with and all you silly kids getting degrees for stuff nobody needs is hilarious. Sociology, gender studies, etc etc. News flash, there's only two genders, I and the trillions of people that came before me didn't need a degree to figure that one out.
My statement about conservatives being outnumbered on the internet is anecdotal, obviously. From what I see, reddit, lemmy, kbin, twitter, etc... Mostly leftist echo chambers. If I'm wrong, oh well, NBD. Take yourself for example, a lefty hanging out in a conservative magazine. I fully support your decision to engage in debate BTW.
We aren't voting to destroy the planet, we're voting to keep our careers, livelihoods, traditions, morals, etc. Praying that our traditions and value will continue to have a positive influence on the world who, used to, look up to this country and our freedoms (yes, I'm a full blown ethnocentric and proud!). We also don't vote to discriminate, we vote for a fair and equal opportunity across the board. Regardless of your skin color or the awful choices your parents might have made as the leaders of your life.
Nothing we as a species can do will change the natural course of the planet. Fossil fuels have enabled us to save countless lives from unavoidable, natural disasters. Nothing you vote for will detour third world countries from continuing the path of destruction.
Ahh yes, all us silly kids getting degress and running the logistics that allow you to sell your salmon in the first place. Y'all conservatives just love being divorced from the real world don't you? I'm all for good fait conversation, but your opinion stated loudly doesn't make it fact. It just makes you another blustering 'hard worker" who has no idea how the modern world works since your ignorance is so blissful
