Ehhh… There's no sense asking if the air is good if there's nothing else to breathe. Travel while you can!

Also, walking someone’s tracks means your path will be more stable and less tiring

The bigger question is, do you still have that magic 8-ball?

and for what? The adrenaline rush? It’s pointless tribalism that reduces genuine issues to the level of a game.

I don’t care for a single person in that picture, but I’m not gonna spew hate about them. That sort of behavior just guarantees there will be no communication or useful exchange between opposing factions

For what it’s worth I don’t approve of what Boston Brian there is doing any more than I do of what you’re doing. You’re both in the wrong. Name-calling is a bad practice regardless of who is doing it.

Seriously? I have no trouble with debate, but what you say has no more basis in fact then what you’re accusing them of.
There are plenty places you can complain about the “evil Libs and Dems” and enjoy the gratifying sound of your very own echo chamber. Must you bring it here?
