Bridging Political Divides with Honest Dialogue

I wish me ( republican) and a democrat could have actual conversation about why we believe what we believe nothing crazy no being rude or anything just honest facts and reasons behind the beliefs.

It’s possible but agree it’s hard

i don't associate with any party but i'm pretty far left, so i imagine our beliefs will differ, and i'm always open to try learning about other perspectives! :)

@kerfuffly thank you if you want to we can I’m down

@dagl do you support trump?

@kerfuffly I mean at first I felt like he wanted to make a change to better the country for example I believe deporting people is a good idea but I think there’s better ways to do it I had a friend get deported in January and it was pretty sad I think there’s easily a way to work out a payment plan or some sort of temporary hold until they go to court I know it seems pretty evil to some people to just split up families and I agree it could be done better but with the other option Kamala probably would’ve had my generation at war (good reason I think this was Biden giving Ukraine those missles in late 24 or early 25; Putin is a little crazy I wouldn’t be suprisez if that was enough and that’s scary I don’t want to go to war) so I don’t really support the way trump does a lot of the things but I agree with the idea a little and if it were between Kamala or trump id chose trump id rather hurt some families until they can get back on there feet than have a war start even if it’s unlikely I don’t like the slightest odds

lots to talk about there, but i'll keep it to one point at a time or this will get way too complicated way too fast lol. why do you think that deporting people is good?

@kerfuffly that’s fair and because a huge majority of fentanyl deals and kidnappings and sex trafficking stuff is serious and cartels do play a good sized role in that it’s very easy to see how dark there behavior is and how it shouldn’t be allowed in the us as it’s dangerous and terrifying a lot of them come through here illegally and we need to stop that

why do you think they come here to commit crimes? (like what do you think their motivation is?)

@kerfuffly I really have no idea to build there cartel empires would be my only thought

@dagl i like the way you think. its not about making it an argument, its about having a calm, respectful, open discussion where both sides are heard and acknowledged. i personally identify as independent, its on my ID. i try to avoid politics because its only ever an argument on whos right or wrong and not a conversation. i personally believe that humans as a society should stop treating politics as some sports game where you get to choose a side, and actually come together and solve things like a team. were talking about human lives here.
