CE and gamefaqs is a place for all gamers. There is nothing to be emboldened about, this is as much my community as it is yours.
So why do you vote for people that implement policies which lead to stuff like this article?

Anytime someone questions these decisions you all just run away. So ill ask, why do you vote for people who take rights away? Why do you vote for people who want abortion to be illegal?

Also, let's just make this clear. I can't speak for others, but I, personally, do not think conservatives belong anywhere people congregate. They are horrid enablers and should never be taken seriously until they purge the gross fascism from the party.
Fully agreed. CE has actually done a really good job in recent years at shouting down conservative viewpoints on abortion, sexuality, gender, etc. it's become a place that seems like more than just capital G gamers can hang out at, and I really don't want that going down the shitter

I wouldn't go that far. However there are elements within (and outside of) our society that are seeking to weaponize conservatives in order to enable fascism and bigotry, all in a grab for power.

Many are unaware of how they are being used. Handwaving away the entirety of the group will only divide us/harden them from ever being dissuaded.

Its why approaching people from a 'holier than thou' attitude does not work. You approach them with a closed or hostile attitude and it puts them on the defensive. In the world of the conservative, being put on the defensive makes them hole up and double down on their beliefs.

i understand your attitude and why you feel that way, I just think it will do more harm than good ultimately.

even so, if you approach a conservative in a conversation with this attitude, they're going to shut down and shut you out rather than have an open and honest discussion with you about why they feel the way they do.

I'm not naive enough to say that you can have those kinds of conversations with everyone or that there aren't bad faith actors out there who will are gunning for the 'gotcha' statement, but if you drive these people away, there are others who are more than willing to welcome them with open arms and harden their beliefs even further.

Thank god you are out of any kind of direct patient care.

Greed and selfishness is fucking destroying our country and our healthcare system. Big Pharma and insurance companies are ruining our country more and more every year at the expense of innocent people trying to get necessary treatment.

This is why we need to destroy the GOP at the polls this November.

Also, it seems to be that a good number of the people crying "BUT PALESTINE!!!!" weren't going to vote, or were going to write in a 3rd party, anyway; this is just their way of showing that they have "morals." There are some who are serious, and while the Palestinian people are very important, they need to realize that enabling a Trump win is going to make things much, much worse for them, and cause the suffering of marginalized people here at home.

I see republicans continue to have zero personal accountability and want to misrepresent the truth of their political party.

Its sad, like your party does some fucked up stuff to people , real people suffering horribly, and all you can think about is your own image and how it upsets you to look like the bad guy for voting for this shit.

fuck all the way off, disingenuous bad faith posters who cant take personal responsibility for their political support. Fucking own that shit

Your posts are not being deleted and your accounts are not being suspended just because you have unpopular opinions or the mods dislike you as a person. You are not an oppressed victim here with your free speech under attack. Get over yourself and reevaluate your beliefs and why they are not acceptable in polite society.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

He made a topic about how Biden was bad for the economy because the eggs he was used to buying had gone over 10 dollars a carton. We were all like "dude what the fuck are you talking about, even the higher cost eggs in these generic grocery stores aren't anywhere near that" and started listing prices and whatnot. He comes back with "Well they're local(?) BRANDX eggs" so I looked it up and they were explicitly super high end premium quality eggs straight from the good farm and not generic eggs you'd find anywhere like he'd been trying to imply.

Then he melted down and lost the account IIRC.

Reminds me of that dipshit (A politician, not a Gamefaqs user) who insisted that a Turkey was costing over $100. Something immediately disproven by anyone who bought a butterball.

Turns out he tried to pass off a premium grown turkey as something you'd get from the grocery store. So basically, getting banned over eggs technically isn't even original in this case.

Honestly it shows how out of touch they are. That was probably the type of turkey his family buys for thanksgiving. Not realizing that most people wouldn't buy an organic unfrozen turkey.

I don't understand this logic. I truly don't. Whether you like me or not, I'm an expert. I'm board certified in emegency medicine. I'm a medical director of a national insurance company. I am an expert of managed care (medicaid/medicare policy).

Again you might not like me, but there can't possibly be a person here that understands how healthcare works better than I do.

You just don't like my answers. I didn't make a system that incentivizes profit. I just work in it. Pays the bills.

I'll not engage in debate, but I will ask you to Google the dunning-kruger effect. Confidence is very high when knowledge is very low. That's the reason half my patients would tell me I'm wrong or explain some made up medicine to me works better than antibiotics.

Hell. I've only been doing this for less than a year in my current role and some of the bureaucracy is still overwhelming (and i think InterQual was made to punish). So how you know more than me is mysterious.
