Do Progressives Want Conflict or Unity?

What do Progressives Want?

“Unity to oneself is not unity among all.” - IQ57
 
And they better not forget.

Marriage is between man and a woman. That's what we need to get back to.

LGBTQ can cozy up with civil unions. ;)
You don't control anything but yourself, and it appears you may be having difficult with that, by your aim to try to tell others how they can choose to live.
 
You are describing yourself perfectly.

Keep posting your garbage.

“Conflict” it is for you on the check list.
You sound angry. I never get angry. This is after all, just a debate forum. It you are triggered by my meme, that is on you buttercup ;)
 
Yikes, more calls for extinguishing the people who support Trump.

The call was to extinhuish the political movement not the people. Nice try though. Very MAGA. Totally dishonest.
 
I keep on hearing Progressives saying they want unity and are mad that their opposition for being ''divisive''. Yet they keep on talking about how their opposition doesn't offer any policies, that they are racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and fascist or fascist-adjacent, and being evil misogynists who want women to die instead of allowing abortions, and who want to take away the freedom of Progressives. None of that promotes unity. So what do Progressives want, unity or conflict?
Progressives want all their I'll conceived and I'll considered public policies enshrined in law and enforced by the force of the government gun to the head, just as long as they are exempt from the same.

So progressive tyranny. The post above is an example.
 
There's nothing perverse about what was and always was, because it works.

You see, pal, perversion is about twisting something into a complete and ****ing mess. Changing marriage did exactly that -- it perverted the meaning. ;)

Definition of pervert

(Entry 1 of 2)
transitive verb
1a: to cause to turn aside or away from what is good or true or morally right : CORRUPT
b: to cause to turn aside or away from what is generally done or accepted : MISDIRECT
2a: to divert to a wrong end or purpose : MISUSE
b: to twist the meaning or sense of : MISINTERPRET

There is everything perverse about a bunch of religious fanatics stripping Americans’ rights away from them bud.

How, exactly, did LGBT people getting rights “make marriage a mess”? We know it made you break down in sobs of fear, but you do that every time you see a Muslim, so that’s hardly so a surprise ;)
 
The problem with this, is the left refuses to try to understand why others think and believe the way they do. There are many who believe marriage is only meant for one man and one woman. It's an abomination to them to diminish the institution of marriage.

This ignorance, and denial of other people's viewpoints, is why the left is becoming evil.

Poor religious bigots, the mean ole left won’t pretend their bigotry has any validity whatsoever. Poor, poor, religious fanatics 🙄

What’s an “abomination” is trying to impose Christianity on everyone else and stripping rights from Americans. That you can’t grasp that says a lot about you.

Sounds like you and Ren will have to pack your bags and move to Saudi Arabia or one of those other hellholes were LGBT people don’t have rights.

How will you extinguish the movement without extinguishing the people? The people ARE the movement!!

Can you explain why someone who believes in their religion is a fanatic, and you are not?

Well gee, that’s simple. People who want to strip rights from innocent people who have done nothing wrong and fear and hate those people because “the Bible says so” are fanatics.
 
Are you concerned about your opposition's feelings?

Do you mean like the people who said the 2016 election was stolen, that Trump was an illegitimate President, that Trump colluded with Russian intelligence and Putin to steal the election? That kind of assault on Democracy? LOL.

Doesn't democracy mean that people with vastly disparate viewpoints vote on the outcome of elections and referenda, and then the one who wins the most votes gets elected?

Or, do you think it means that once the election is over, everyone who disagrees must shut up and fall into line behind the elected person?
The Drumpf won the 2016 election, so what if someone said he was illegitimate, the Drumpf Administration coluded with Russia & Russia helped him win the election.
He lost the next election & hasn’t the decency to stand aside & let the legitimate President do his job, with out constant whiny whine.
I personally (the only guy I speak for) don’t expect unity anytime soon as the MAGA are to far from the promise of democracy laid out in the constitution. Compromise to MAGA means excepting their flawed policies and behavior.
 
I don't want unity. I want MAGA's and Christian Nationalists out of our government and will be trying everything in my power to do so for as long as it takes.
Good for you. Rarely do progressives admit their intolerance. Kudos.

Differing political opinions and positions are not permitted by progressives, apparently.

Their version of 'tolerance' apparently.

Hillary said we're a "disease" that needs to be "purged"
Tim Ryan says we have to be "killed'

'Why do you call yourselves progressives when you keep opposing regressive/oppressive policies?!?!' 😭
 
'Why do you call yourselves progressives when you keep opposing regressive/oppressive policies?!?!' 😭
It's more like, why do you call yourselves progressives, when you are regressive, and when your policy positions amount to "everyone else is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, bigoted, fascist...."
 
You don't control anything but yourself, and it appears you may be having difficult with that, by your aim to try to tell others how they can choose to live.
My wife & I were joined in a Civil Union 55 years ago, in a Judges office in Santa Monica. Without one word of religious BS.
We are married according to any government document, we are legal next of kin in all legal matters. Same sec marriage gives couples the same rights as you & I & is only fair. You want to make them less, because you are somehow affected by them having the same rights as you? Sad…

That is the Trumplican interpretation because they are fragile little snowflakes.
 
The Drumpf won the 2016 election, so what if someone said he was illegitimate, the Drumpf Administration coluded with Russia & Russia helped him win the election.
One, the collusion conspiracy theory has been debunked. There was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, no back channels to banks, no contacts with Russian intelligence. None. It was a hoax.

Two, the allegation continues that Russia "helped him win the election," but that is always said without evidence. Without the collusion, there is no interference. Some countries' citizens and governments wanted Biden to win, and would "help" him by denigrating Trump. So what? Is that illegal now?
He lost the next election & hasn’t the decency to stand aside & let the legitimate President do his job, with out constant whiny whine.
It's not Trump who you hear whine, because the media has literally shut him out. He can't go on Twitter or Facebook, and no major news outlet has him on. The whiners are the CNNs of the world, who are carrying water for the DNC by manufacturing more outrage at Trump, so that they can make the next election about "orange man bad."
I personally (the only guy I speak for) don’t expect unity anytime soon as the MAGA are to far from the promise of democracy laid out in the constitution. Compromise to MAGA means excepting their flawed policies and behavior.
What compromise would you get out of Progressives?
