So when does being a 'leftist' become a crime?

Depends on who you ask. I know conservatives IRL that think I'm a shrieking liberal but here in PPR I seem to be thought of as a hard hearted and evil jackbooted conservative.
Hey, whatever gives them nightmares.

Depends on who you're talking to and what you talking about.

I'm pro gun so bunch here call me conservative,republican etc als for immigration issues.

But to people on the right I'm left, for supporting social security, Medicaid and welfare. Or for supporting public education, government and taxes.

I'm my state you have to be democrat or republican to vote in primaries but I'm probably realisticy an independent.

Independent think for themselves. We aren't beholded to some party and have to taught the party line even if we disagree with some of their polices. I see people mostly on the left that will say they don't care about an issue yet push for it cause it's the party line and they support the party. I don't get that. It's probably why some people support dictatorships, they may not like dictatorship but they like some of the stuff it brings so they support the bad for the few good they get.

I'll keep hoping for a pro gun, anti illegal immigration, pro welfare, tax, education politician or party but it'll never happen.

The democratic party doesn't even represent the majority of liberals, that's why they lost the election. Hillary was a mistake, if only they would have went with Bernie. But yeah democrats are too busy pointing fingers at republicans like republicans are too busy pointing fingers at democrats to actually evaluate their own respective parties and make improvements to better represent the people of this country.

Most of them aren't dumb enough to attack me (a REAL attack, not just an attempted hurting of the feelings) and threats only amuse me.

There are a buttload of young conservatives and I don't see the numbers shrinking. That propaganda about conservatives being old and stodgy is just that, propaganda to get the weak willed on the bandwagon of liberalism.
I really started to see the flaws of liberalism when I was 14 and had no shortage of likeminded peers at that age. I grew up in a household with two liberal parents and that's all the conservative indoctrination I needed. No surprise that my brother went conservative, too.

I've been totally amazed at the stuff the left has been coming out with on Facebook, including members from here. I haven't come across any local lefties like that though, it seems to be all the Americans (don't bother jumping down my throat anyone, I'm not in the mood).

Also with some conservatives locally I can't tell them I'm on welfare without them being critical, even horrible.

You're a good person sly.

Sweetleaf still hasn't answered me, I don't know what I did to wind her up so much.

Or as Stephen Colbert described us: idol worshipping masturbators.

To me this is just the other side of the coin of the "right wingnuts" being called racist, bigoted, gun toting, homophobic, misogynistic, Islamaphobic, xenophobic, religious fanatic, ignorant, scumbag deplorables, aka Trump and Trump supporters = Nazi.

I mean is there actually a victim card to be played here?

I define social conservatives as those people who are up-in-arms about gay marriage and the decline of "Christian values". Are you really a social conservative?

I was talking about "social conservatives" (i.e. fundamentalist Christians), not conservatives in general.

In Australia, we have the Liberal party in power right now, and they're a right-wing group. So I always get a laugh when I see American right-wingers using "liberal" as an insult.

There is no chance of a user being banned just for casually talking about a banned user. It's against the rules but unless you're attempting to start an argument then at most someone will try to steer the conversation away from it and maybe delete a few posts. I'm also not sure how you can politicise it. It's also not new, the rule has existed since at least 2008.

Raptor isn't hard hearted at all. He loves dogs!

And I'm not talking about specially home-bred pit bulls. He doesn't train killer dogs to protect his fortress. He rescues cuddly ones.

Now if only he'd extend the same kindness to his fellow humans in need.

"leftist" describes the insatiable, gollum-esque desire for other people's money ("the precious")

You're mistaken,that's the IRS.lol

I think people like you are on the wrong side of history. In the future people will look back on economic liberalism as a reactionary movement.
