Probably a lot of variation. I just mean staffed by people who are registered Democrats or vote Dem

Social Left, QED.

What culture war? Trans dudes winning swimming meets? That’s on the same level as “Jewish space lasers” to you from members of Congress? Cmon dude, no way

I'm gettin' real tired of rednecks calling me a Communist for believing Equal Protection includes the queers. 😾

I’ll check the definition, I don’t recall seeing trans dudes in there

Culture: The customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation

The culture war to me is political influences on the information we take in which shapes our collective national culture

[Kaveh]

Those have never been conservative. Just like militaries have never been liberal. Maybe you’re just too plugged in?

Iran has a very liberal movie industry. That’s just the way it goes bud (Iran is not liberal)

[Kaveh]

Also, our National culture is a result of our piss poor education system and 30-50% obesity rates depending on where you are. I don’t see either party offering constructive solutions

So because in your opinion (And that’s all that is, your opinion) they have never been “conservative”, I shouldn’t care about democrat politics influences on them?

I appreciate telling me what I should care about but I still do. Anything else I need to know?

now imagine a drone has struck a wedding and killed a buncha babies because one person there might be a terrorist

or better yet, more kids starving to death because american sanctions are strangling their countries

i guess those piles of dead babies are okay with you? No, it's just that you don't actually care about babies dying, you care about preserving the hierarchy

hope this helps you perceive your own moral relativism

Yes, great, you are once again doing the lefty thing which is highlighting the incredibly rare, most morally egregious example of something, just like you always do with abortion. "What if a woman got RAPED!", it's like yeah well, that's a tiny tiny minorty of abortions, so let's grant that! Full abortions for rape victims, so now with that out of the way, do you support banning the rest of the abortions, that are almost always for personal convenience on the part of both the mother and the dude who knocked her up? No? Still not willing to condemn those?

Imagine a drone blows up your wedding *on purpose*, specifically because it *IS A WEDDING*, and they want to inflict the maximum amount of emotional pain and suffering as the TOP PRIORITY. Israel is not doing this, and if they ever do, I would gladly condemn it.

Our education is bad but culture is far more than that

Same with obesity. Cultural changes could in fact help quite a lot with obesity, but not solve or remove it

it’s obviously just my opinion snowflake
