    Tbh, the only one I care about is guns, and everything else is secondary. Even abortion is born out of me not knowing when it becomes murder and playing it safe. And voting Trump is definitely a lesser of two evils choice, one I hope to not have to make.

    So yeah, not a game really, but Im definitely pushing buttons and saying exactly the right things.

      People judge others based on their own ideals and values and have this almost innate tendency to not move past that . True empathy is in limited supply; and I think its because there isn’t enough benefit-of-the-doubt, or a genuine curiosity to hear why someone holds a particular opinion even if you don’t understand it.

      Couple that with a “points” system that forces people into a false dichotomy, and leverages the multi-generational conditioning that “more = better” the nuance of promoting discussion goes out the window. I certainly don’t have a better solution though
