"We, the Democrats, are the pro-science party."
"Also, we the Democrats believe that gender is a social construct, and in fact there are 52 of them."
"Also, we the Democrats had major Presidential candidates list their preferred pronouns on their Twitter bios, even though none of them ever identified as trans."
"Also, we the Democrats, are totally cool with men competing as women in sports, because there's no advantage. Because we're pro-science."
"Also, we the Democrats think that babies in their mother's wombs aren't human beings, even if days away from being born at the 9-month mark. It's up to the moms whether they want to kill these fully formed human beings, because... science?"
Science. A convenient word to say when attempting to assert false intellectual superiority.

"America is not so much a nightmare as a non-dream. The American non-dream is precisely a move to wipe the dream out of existence. The dream is a spontaneous happening and therefore dangerous to a control system set up by the non-dreamers." -- William S. Burroughs
I think you don't see the cult that the left has become because:
1) It's your own side, so it's tougher to look at it critically.
2) You're not a member of it. There's no question you're on the left, but I've never seen you take the mocking and angry tone I've seen from others here when I'm debating with them about something, and I've even seen you criticize the left on occasion when you feel it's acting stupid.
The American leftist cult has the following characteristics:
1) We are intellectually superior. If you don't agree with us 100%, it's because you're stupid, ignorant, and anti-science.
2) We are morally superior. If you don't agree with us 100%, you are a bigot who also doesn't care about poor people.
3) Trump is Hitler. If you vote for him or defend anything he says or does, you're an absolutely evil person. Also we complain about Trump every day, multiple times a day, even though it accomplishes nothing and just stresses everyone out.
4) We are not interested in reasonable debate with the other side, and in fact we support groups like Antifa silencing the other side from speaking, because they're just silencing hateful/bigoted people, and silencing dissenting points of view totally isn't fascist behavior or anything.
As you've seen, I have approached all of this from a reasonable standpoint, even if you disagree with my conclusions. Never once have I denied the seriousness of COVID-19, and in fact was one of the earlier ones on this forum making a big deal about it. I have acknowledged Trump's mistakes many times. I just recently complained about fellow Republicans (not just politicians, but regular voters in general) being unreasonable about the current COVID-19 situation. I also have never posted a Trump meme, aside from one about TDS aimed at certain people on this forum.
Yet still multiple PFA leftists have accused me of being a Trump cult follower and Fox News bot.
That's because they're part of their own delusional cult, so to them I look the same as the crazy Ohio Republicans protesting stay-at-home orders.
They also have a hard time with double standards. The crazy segment of the left insisting that men should be in women's sports are just the tiny minority, you see, while the crazy right wingers shown on the news are the majority. Because... ummm.... science?
The average person isn't aware of all the long term damage a ventilator can do. All of the talk has been regarding the number of ventilators available, as if we'll be okay once there are enough available (which there are now, btw), but there's relatively little discussion in the media regarding how harmful they really are. We shouldn't just be focusing on the number of cases and deaths, but also the number of people who end up on ventilators, many of whom will be permanently damaged by them.
But I'm sure Doctor Big Dick knew all of this years ago, and I can understand why you would find my statement to be pointless.
Pretty much every person you know?
I thought you said your parents are super-left. Are you saying they don't believe this stuff? Would your parents be against allowing a woman to choose to have an abortion at 9 months, if her life isn't in danger?
Besides, several members on PFA have actually defended the abortion-at-any-time-for-any-reason laws, so LOL at you pretending like it's my delusion to believe leftists think this way.
Wold you care to make a bet with me that we can find a random left-leaning Facebook group (not an extreme one, chosen by a neutral arbitrator), and that if we took a poll about these issues, more would come down on the side of these extreme views? Let me know if interested.
It's sad how much you're in denial regarding the wackiness of your own party. You really believe that you're in the party of rational intellectuals. The problem is that it's clearly a part of your identity, and you are probably afraid to admit that your own side is being rapidly infected by an anti-science ideological virus which you're afraid to admit exists.
druff- Get your fucking ass out of the house and take your gf and child out too. Go around people as much as possible.
Nah you won't You will sit in your nice house and ride it out while the people you hate(poors.blacks,hispanics) Deliver things and keep the country fed.
You are a hypocrite in every sense of the word if you run and hide from this while spouting off the nonsense that keep coming out of that pie hole of yours.
Clown
Now if you're just keep the conversation going ITT because it's your site and you don't actually mean most of the things you say then cool nice job. Well done.But if what you say is really what you think then you're a piece of shit clown who deserves no respect from anyone ever. EVER
BTW, since you claim I am such a Trump and Fox News cult follower, I'd like you to present a single thing I've argued on PFA which is anti-science.
I'm waiting.
Odds he doesn't listen and drags the same stuff out again?
Do you know one person in real life who is behind gender reassignment for children, sonatine?
Most libs that I know cringe and have a giggle at Bruce Jenner. Freaks going off in gamespot are entertainment not social inustices to most of my lib friends.
But yeah we usually do it quietly, upsetting the freaks is a little mean. Mermaids, freaks and furries have feelings too. ☺
BCR is actually high on the list of PFAers I'd like to meet but have never met yet.
I know he's private (I don't think anyone on the forum knows his real name, including me), but obviously I would keep any info secret if we were to ever meet, and I'm sure he knows I would. I do hope he makes it out to LA or Vegas sometime after this is all over, so we can make this happen at some point.
I would even meet you, big dick, despite your clear TDS issue.
Just like Trump you skip over and don't answer.
Do us all a favor and stfu and stop sticking your 2 cents in on subjects you have no expertise or experience in.
We don't need you "gut' instincts chiming in. You dont shit about PLO yet you accused a good guy and solid winning long term PLO expert of cheating with zero evidence.
You are a CLOWN
not to further hijack (and feel free to move this) but since we're talking about it, elizabeth warren giving her preferred pronouns on twitter is pretty tilting.
weirdly though, i'm coming around to thinking she wouldn't be the worst VP pick.
Likewise, but with regards to this subject you are making it real hard to respect you.
I do for some odd reason like you. It's weird. I really hope you are just keeping the conversation going
You are dead wrong druff.
Sometimes we're wrong about things. For you this is clearly one of those times.
