strongly disagree with the title.

Pard on d2jsp is pretty well balanced.
Some users have strong opinions or are more well spoken.

Another factor to consider is to participate in Pard you must have 0% warning.
Some users have weeded themselves out of the pard section by repeatedly violating the rules.

Conservatism in the end yields back and conserves nothing, liberalism is the moving further to 'communism' while conservatism locks the gains made by liberalism into place.
Today's GOP, or republican is just what the democratic party was 20-25 years ago.
Both parties serve the same master, while the people are forced to serve two masters.

*rubs neck and speaks low*
Some of the left wing users lost their minds and built up warnings.
I can think of three left wing users who in recent months failed to burn off that 10%+

Some users figure it out and get back in.

I think liberalism leads to capitalist status quo, not communism. At least American liberalism. But I do agree they're both functionally the same party and same master.

When you really take a look at American policies there is nothing close to communism. Federalism is not communism and really cannot be communism. Social policies can be inspired by communist or socialist ideals but they're done under the careful guise of capital control and federalist control.

not even close, we've never had a party completely devoid of morals or ethics like the modern day conservatives
modern democrats went too far playing identity politics while ignoring the working class; conservatives play fear/hate politics while ignoring the working class. both sides are getting fucked
we've never and likely wont ever have anything remotely like communism in this country no matter how much tucker carlson cries about it. its pure bullshit propaganda to scare people.
we're actually transitioning to a full on oligarchy while half the country watches fox news and believes democrats are socialists lmao
what are we even talking about?!

I don't think cancel culture is a liberal or conservative phenomenon. Conservatives, particularly the Evangelical kind, have had a history of "canceling" people it was just called something else. Whether it be ostracizing, boycotting, or more akin to the kind we consider 'canceling' today. This was more common in the 80s, 90s and 00s. It is obviously less common after those decades and understandably "cancel culture" is now associated with liberals. But if you go look back at any period of the United States there is some sort of public outrage towards people or ideas.

I think the US is undergoing another right-wing generational era though, like we did with the Reagan era post civil rights era.
