Yeah, pretty much. Politics is now a bunch of 5 year olds screaming at each other.

What alternative would you suggest.

A faction of the left has taken the mantra that the personal is the political.
They reason that you progress politically by politicizing every aspect of life.
If you want to rouse the disconnected, point out the political aspects of the things they are connected with.
Is TV racist?
Is sports sexist?
Is the food you eat bigoted?
Is your footwear exploitative?
Is your air conditioning gendered?
etc. etc.

Smartly, for them. They present it as mere 'food for thought.' But it's intended as rhetoric to be consumed without thinking. Therefore if anyone points out the flaws in the reasoning, the sparks start flying and everyone THEN starts complaining about politicization.
I'm all for autonomy, let people make their own decisions about what is best for them. But if there is an effort to bind personal decisions up in political rhetoric, I'm going to be there with a critical eye.
In those cases, it is eminently relevant 'who started it.' Those who DIDN'T start it, aren't the ones lecturing you on your personal decisions, yet they get painted as the politicizers when they push back on people who are.

I don’t understand your question or what it has to do with me.

"Or if you do, please make sure your comments lean left as to not offend my delicate sensibilities".

Don't even bother, I'll show MYSELF out.

"Political" needs to be defined.

Is "God Bless America" a political statement? For example: Tyreek Hill will not be suspended! God Bless America that the principal of due process still exists or else he would have been banished from the NFL solely on the howling and gnashing of teeth by the hyenas in the "woke media".

That depends. Is it something that someone wants to bitch about? If so, yes.

I think we all know by now that God Bless America isn't political, it's racist.

I'm bumping this again because there are still a few people that are not connecting the dots. Repeat offenders are going to get dropped into the romper room for an extended visit with Ubeja Vontell. Keep the DC bullshit in DC.

Can we discuss the Washington Nationals in The Lounge or no

I don't see why not, as long as it doesn't turn into some kind of a political cluster fuck.

That's a fate worse than being banned! :-)

Well it seems like the charitable thing to do. :-) We can't have him sitting around with nothing to do, like the Maytag repair man.

So basically the romper room is the rancor pit now?

More like the Sarlacc.
