Yeah but being an asshole is usually excusable if you're actually right.

Like I can be an asshole about trans rights because if you don't support them you're a pos.

But being an asshole because black people can vote just makes you an asshole.

Oh for sure. As a leftist I think most liberals are assholes.

Most people are nice. However I've met some real pieces of work on all sides of the political spectrum.

Being liberal doesn't mean you're a Democrat...

That's kind of a tough pill for a lot of folks though :)

There's lots of us living in other countries who don't even have the option to vote for Republicans or democrats! Crazy stuff...

I'm asking you to be civil in the comments and not blanketly assume a type of people are all on the same level.

There are plenty of people that are on the political spectrum.

If you cannot be civil, and resort to being abusive I will be asking you to leave our community.

Please do not feel targeted or that I'm picking you out directly, I replied to the first person in the thread. This whole post had a possibility to go off the rails and my warming should have been to the Tread Poster as well as everyone else.
