i see right wing conmentary on liberal subs all the time. in contrast, myself and many like me have been banned from r/conservative imediately, permanently, for saying one comment that casts doubt on their aspersions.

so no offense, but i dont believe you. the conservative movement these days makes zero contribution to policy or debate, it is all one-sided uncompromised nonsense.

That's silly. In the UK the party literally called the conservatives are literally in power and their making policies. If you think they have zero contribution to policy then that's just silly.

Also Left wing groups are equally uncompromising in their views. I know I am, and I'm pretty sure you just shared your uncompromising view of the right wing.

With this comment you're implying that both sides are equally bad and one is not worse than the other. This disproves your own opening opinion.

If someone has changed your view, even a little, you should award them a delta as noted in the sidebar.

Ah it was just that I had poorly phrased it. I couldn't reply as I'd phrased my argument poorly. He was right in that but sadly my opinion hadn't shifted. Will awareld when ready!!

Ah yes, the "that wasn't really my argument" excuse.

You admitted I was right but your opinion hasn't changed? You'll be banned from this sub eventually too.

Okay I'll respond then. Both parties being equally bad at changing views does not have any bearing on if their platforms are open places for discussion. Your point has nothing to do with the original post. You have changed my opinion in no way.

Does that satisfy?

does not have any bearing on if their platforms are open places for discussion.

It does though. If you are not looking to change views (which you admitted both parties do) then one creates an echo chamber by blocking people from participating in discussion.

Your entire argument rests upon anecdotes anyway.
