    Imagine if Kamala’s line was just to the right of yours, whatever you care most about, she’s just going to agree with trump on.

    But that is not how it works. If she is to your right, she will hold a position to the right of your position. That’s all. How do you equate her being to your right to her agreeing with Trump? That assumes that to your right everything is one single position. But that is of course not the case. It’s a continuum, and Kamala is probably closer to you than Trump is.

      That’s how these people think. Yes-or-no, black-or-white, totally agree or mortal enemies.

      There’s either a genocide or there isn’t, no concept of relative scale. There’s either environmentalism or there isn’t. There’s support for immigrants or bigoted xenophobia. No complexity. No shades of gray.

      You either agree with me completely about everything, or you are the enemy. It’s why Leftism inevitably eats itself. Completely incapable of compromise.

      The shitty “meme” that your commenting under…

      Specifically?

      Being pro fracking, for Trump’s border wall…

      Pretty much all those policies that she agrees with trump on…
