You couldn't be more wrong, but ok. I never brought up two sides you did that. This isn't tribalism it's simple observation.
Also conservatives aren't a party. Not sure what your point is here actually. You seem to want to pretend this guy was a good guy somehow but ur not making any sense really.
No, of course I didn't want to make this guy a good guy. He clearly wasn't. He seemed to be an embarrassingly hollow dimwit.
And you mentioned conservatives/republicans. And opposing them are? This is as dualistic as it gets. No inbetween. If you read one of those words you automatically know it's US-american.
Anyhow. If I don't make sense to you, I'm sorry.
Mentioning conservatives doesn't make me "the other party" Whatever the hell that means.
You made the assumption there not me. Good example of projection for anyone reading.
I could be a leftist or an all out communist or a green party voter or I could....gasp....not even live in the USA...
Can we not assume this guy particularly cares what party or group you say you're apart of? It's kind of silly for you to say that applies to you but not the person whose been outed and had to be made a scapegoat of by the very party that would have otherwise claimed to support him if they had not INTENTIONALLY BULLIED him to the point of suicide. They've got blood on their hands and they know it.
Yes I made an assumotion. Noone except US-Americans ever use cons/libs/reps. And don't tell me you're not American 😊
But why shouldn't I assume? It's not like you attached your CV. I didn't assume your height or your income, but what was most likely extractable information of your comment.
Also I didn't wanted to piss you off or insult you. I also didn't put you in any party/side of a political spectrum (if you could call it a spectrum).
