I don't like Clinton for the record, I think she's ****ing awful, but I still would've preferred her to Trump and actually sprinted two miles just to vote before the voting booth closed.
This is the insanity we have come to. This person pretty much said that you're not a liberal because you defended me. Ignoring the fact that you didn't really defend me and more wondered why Rob was engaging me, which isn't a defense. It seems once again some on the left feel it's all or nothing. Agree with them on everything or you aren't a liberal.
Truth is I don't think they care about thread derailments/off topic posts. If you saw someone post off topic and you thought they were trying to derail the thread and this bothered you...the best response would be no response at all. That isn't what happens because they thrive on this kind of stuff IMO. So I wish we'd be spared the false indignation some show over this.

That's... not a conservative stance. That's actual liberalism.
But that's basically my problem with the regressive ideology of SJWs. In claiming to promote Anti-Racism, they promote legislation and "solutions" to problems that go against the fundamental ideological stances of liberalism.

It's what liberalism should be, but it is not the form it currently takes. Sort of like how liberalism should be "I might not agree with what you say, but I'll die for your right to say it" but in this day and age an increasing amount of liberals practice the very opposite of that. They want to shut down speech they deem offensive or "hateful".

Yeah it's kinda weird to me that Trump is somehow a symbol of free speech when he does shit like that and when a white house person mentioned he was considering trying to revise the first amendment.
Yeah, Trump is overly sensitive. Though it doesn't change the fact a not so small amount of liberals these days are far more sensitive.

Sure it doesn't. That's why you're disdain is not directed at the person spewing right-wing garbage all over the forum, but for the person calling him out for it.

And I never claimed to be far left, I'm moderately left wing.
No, you claimed to be liberal, and when confronted, admitted to being a left-leaning centrist, which is a moderate.

Let's run through my stances.
Let's not, since no one asked, and no one cares.

The only policy position you've actually discussed with me is abortion, and aside from that you've only seen me talk negatively about SJWs, which is due to my belief that SJWs despite being on the left don't uphold and support liberal values, and rather uphold bigoted, controlling, and ideologically contradictory stances, and refuse to have honest and open discussion about certain issues without censorship or the need for buzzwords, and because I think the regressive left does a serious disservice to the left by infecting our policies and making us less palatable to the public, which is I think a huge reason for the overwhelming surge of conservative victories in the US and UK.
"SJWs" and "regressive left" are terms of right-wing ideologues. No one even to the right of center is concerned with SJWs. Those who do stand firmly on the right or the far-right.

Do you have any evidence to back up your claim of me being a bigot or viewing black people, women, or LGBT people as inferior? Or are you just calling me a bigot because I don't align with you that well politically?
Who claimed you are a bigot? If you think the definition of "bigotry" is limited to viewing a minority group as inferior, then perhaps you do not know what "bigotry" means, the same way you do not know what "fairness" means.

I don't need validation from strangers on the internet, but I find it utterly absurd that you think you can judge my entire political ideology, and make baseless claims about me being a bigot... out of my stance on abortion and my distaste for SJWs. You've seen me post on a very narrow and limited range of issues, so the fact that you think you can discern my political ideology as a whole is rather laughable.
Cool story, bro. Tell me more about how you don't need validation from strangers on the Internet, followed by another long-winded post explaining the various political positions you hold, that no one asked for.
