One more democrat who claims to be out for good. To be sure, even if these people don't vote GOP, them not voting is a bad thing for the DFL.

"Note: there's not one prominent Leftist anywhere in the West doing what Charlie Kirk did, i.e. issuing an open debate challenge to all comers and saying "Here's my view, I invite you to try and prove me wrong". None of them are willing to subject their views to that scrutiny. Some will engage in certain debates with certain opponents under certain conditions - they'll pick and choose their battles. But none would show up to an overwhelmingly Conservative forum and say "Here's my worldview - if you disagree with me, come to the front of the queue and let's hash it out." They'd simply never do it."

"The thing about an actual debate is that it forces you to look at your opponent in the eye and contend with that person as a human being. Check out what Bill Maher said about Charlie Kirk on his last Club Random episode: “He sat right in that very chair.” “I liked him.” This is another reason why leftists are generally loathed to debate the right - it is that God forbid, they might find out that their opponents are… nice human beings. Once you’ve grappled with this cognitive dissonance between what you are told (that they are Nazis) and what you know (that they are awesome humans), that wall breaks. You come to understand that conservatives simply have different premises and frameworks, and that they, like you, want a better world. You realize that they are not, in fact, evil. Charlie Kirk met a lot of people in his short life. Probably >100X more than the average person would in their lifetime. With that count, if he was an asshole, you would have heard an endless amount of stories bearing witness to his bad character. Instead, you hear only what a good man he was, how much he encouraged and believed in people, how sincere and earnest he was - even from political adversaries such as Gavin Newsom! Meeting and engaging people in person is important. You cannot get a sense of who a person really is merely online, looking at video clips. In my observation, leftists seem to be less emotionally regulated. We’ve all been exposed to viral videos of activists and students interacting with people not just of opposing views but even similar views but who deviate on a single point - they are highly histrionic, they get hysterical, and their voices tend to rise as they melt into a puddle of distress. We know from Haidt and Peterson’s work that this is in part psychological. But the other reason it gets worse is because they never had to develop the craft of dialectics and test their ideas in the crucible of debate. They’ve spent their whole lives hermetically sealed in monocultural chambers. Ask yourself: would you rather be the most liberal person in a room full of conservatives, or the most conservative person in a room full of liberals?"
We see a microcosm of this attitude of the ASPL, regularly.

Words are not violence. When you pretend that views that oppose your own are violence, you are justifying the use of actual violence towards the speaker. Gender ideology’s reliance on tropes and slogans like ‘words are violence’, its constant rationalisation and justification of using force against opponents and its preference for enforcing compliance through fear rather than permitting debate, are straight out of fascism’s playbook. ‘The function of propaganda is . . . not to weigh and ponder the rights of different people, but exclusively to emphasize the one right which it has set out to argue for. Its task is not to make an objective study of the truth, in so far as it favors the enemy, and then set it before the masses with academic fairness; its task is to serve our own right, always and unflinchingly.’ The words are Hitler’s, but I must have seen trans activists say the same thing, barely rephrased, a thousand times. Your movement seeks to remove rights from others. It is anti-truth and critical thinking, pro-violence, pro-dehumanisation of those who disagree with you, and you are so lacking in self-awareness you cannot see that you are precisely what you pretend to hate.

Because that's how racists roll.
