    What would be your description of what both sides want?

      Both sides clearly want to say the most extremist strawmans of the other side to rile up support and increase animosity towards the other side.

        Yea, the far left of universal health care and diversity. Which has never been in power, unlike the far right.

          Really? You turn this into a mis-characterization of the left? My point is that there are equally radically Twitter claims from the right. For instance, you don’t think there are Republican-voting individuals who think Democrats are coming for all their guns?

            I do, but that’s not the far left, that’s the liberals. You go actual left and you keep your guns to protect yourself from the right wing lynch mobs that is ant the gays to die.

    • I love how every response to calling out the tribal shit slinging hyperbolic strawman is “okay so what do they believe” completely missing thr point and side stepping it just to do more tribal shit slinging.

        How is it tribal to know what you stand for or what you think someone stands for?

        • Because it’s obvious what the user asking for this wants is to know if the other commenter thinks differently, they wants a reason to attack them and belittle them. That is all that’s been happening in this thread.

            I want to know what they think. I want to see how they view what the Republicans and Democrats are doing. I can easily say what I think they are doing and how they are not the same, so I want to know what makes them think they are the same.

              This is exactly the problem. When you say that you want to ask these questions just to find out what ‘the other side’ thinks, you are treating the conversation as if the other person is a member of ‘the other side’ and can speak for their viewpoints. There can be people who disagree with you that aren’t far-right religious extremists.
