There’s plenty of irrational shit on the right.

Totally agree with you there.

It’s entirely possible to be a rational lefty and believe in evidence-based policy.

I'm not so sure about that. The only people I know who are still liberals don't follow multiple news sources. They only get the liberal version of facts, like with the "Don't Say Gay Bill." Garbage In, Garbage out. Their framework of reality is at least partially based on propaganda.

I think the point he's making is that left is not the same as liberal. There's a false dichotomy there and the media seems to cater to partisan subjects rather than actual political issues, whipping everyone up into a frenzy rather than finding common ground. I think a lot of us here can be described as anti-woke left, center-right or some other nuanced leaning.

u/Hongkongphooey makes that argument too. I respect it. I don't mean to be patronizing, but I think that's just part of the journey of realizing liberal ideology is what lead to the left, and is part of the problem. Much in the same way everyone in TiA can agree TRAs are a problem, but still support LGB.

That describes most of Saidit even though tihs site probably seems super right wing coming off Reddit so recently.
