I just try to be respectful of people’s opinions, even if I disagree, unless they’re being outright dangerous. I disagree with the right on just about everything, but I can disagree with Biden or The Squad as well.
I don’t believe politics is winning, I believe it’s compromise between many conflicting interests. Someone is many times going to come up short or take an outright loss, or be forced to falter on their ideology, but the goal is for the society our politicians represent to end up net positive.
We’re often stuck with bad choices, but many times it’s hard to find what the good choice would actually be. I just try to use my collected wisdom of my years to try and be the least worst person I can be, and try to influence by my example to whoever can see the virtue in that.
No one person other than myself will embody my ideals anyway, so having to vote for less than stellar candidates is one of the compromises I realize I have to do.
Knowing you have room to improve still puts you ahead of a good number of people I’ve met!
I left the arguing back with the Reddit people. I stay here for the small group dynamic. There’s few enough people here we can get to know individual commenters a bit better and share our opinions without getting lost is a huge stream of other comments, memes, and other pointless one liners.
I like to think both football fans and not can all enjoy SuperbOwl equally! 😆 I did run a 2 week long Owl of the Year bracket tournament in December and working on a 24 hour Superb Owl Super Bowl event for next month, so you can still get that sense of friendly competition. But mainly it’s just nature fans having fun.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom in such an eloquent way!
This shows me that I still have much to learn and improve, which is an exciting endeavor!
Thanks again for explaining!
Certainly! More understanding, knowledge, and communication are things we can all always work on to make ourselves and our world better.
I’m glad I could steer a National Review article into something positive! 😉
If you ever need a positivity break from political stuff, stop by [email protected] for fun nature stuff involving adorable sky-cats!
Yes, it seems to be a hard thing to do, for me at least. I need to check myself more often than not…
That is awesome, always great when people are glad or happy after having a conversation on the interwebs!
hahaha, I was not expecting to see owls, I was thinking of the NFL when I saw your link, you got a sub!

Yes, small group feel is always better! Helps keep the conversations civil or in more of a friendly banter!
True, nature channels are awesome, thanks for your contributions!
