It has to be juvenile because you disagree with the tactic I'm proposing? I'm not insulting anyone, I'm trying to outline a potential plan... which no one wants to discuss. I get it, people here seem cool with just complaining about surveillance without even spitball-ing a solution. That was the mistake I made... thinking all of the people here who seem so passionate about this issue might want to discuss potential actions that might be taken.
My point was that those actions have to be taken inside the democratic party because allying with the republicans would mean empowering them on voter suppression or you name it.
People said that partisanship is what is wrong with politics and I pushed back saying that any potential solution would require a strategy for working through the two party system.
Criticizing the Republicans for their wrong headed positions isn't an insult its an observation. The Democrats aren't great, they are just all we have.
So, does commentary have to be bland to be mature? Do you have a counter point? Who in the republicans can sway the party towards dealing with climate change or away from supporting creationism in classrooms? I'm not saying that there aren't republicans who wouldnt support those things, I'm saying they are powerless to change the direction of their party and that the majority of republicans are staunchly opposed to things people on this site claim to care about.
I don't see how that's being juvenile.
