Clearly the mods don't follow their own rules because there's no way this whole thread shouldn't be Superbar-ed at this point.
Thread is just brought nack for this time of the year

So if you're for the middle....why have you only called out one side of the spectrum since coming back here? ?-(
Nice
I have called out both sides repeatedly, including great disdain for the cheeto. There are plenty of examples here.
Now, I know my side more than the other, so if at times I am alarmed at how my side drifts further then that is the reason, but I have said both sides are more polarized than I ever remember, and pulling further away from the center. NY Times great article on this subject again yesterday.

So there are bad people on both sides

Yes, but if you haven't seen them why did you respond to some of them. ;)

Only one of those is criticizing the someone speaking from a traditionally right position...and even then you manage to work in how the left is wrong. The rest is criticism against both sides. I have yet to see a post in support of traditionally liberal values/positions but I see a lot of posts against them.
Just trying to help you identify which party you should vote for in November. I'm concerned that you've been voting for one not realizing that you got their platforms mixed up. It happens sometimes. My father in law had been a lifelong Republican voter until I encouraged him to research the platforms and he realized that he actually was much more aligned with the Democrats.
I will now take whatever amount of beef and cheddars the mods deem appropriate for my political postings.

The rules here are like gender - fluid. It changes day to day, driven in large part by the baby-like crying of a few users.

In just about all of them I say both sides are guilty of the problems. In multiple ones I criticized the head of their party, again you didn't read if you did not come to that conclusion. The Democrat Party I joined in the 70's is nothing like it is today. Radicalized on the left. The GOP that my friends joined, is also nothing like it was then, radicalized to the right. Both sides guilty. Where is the middle?

Nope. Only "very fine people."

Tut, tut, the rules are the rules. It's the enforcement that's inconsistent.
Sorry, here's a beef n cheddar to take your mind off your woes.

Some may be repeats? Over half of them were.
You still haven't provided the evidence I asked for. Which is fine, I'm just some bum on the internet, you don't owe me anything. But saying you're in the middle doesn't mean much without designating what you are in the middle of.

Civility. Compromise. Bipartisanship. Not attacking people in restaurants, ANTIFA or on softball fields. Or with the other side, pitchforks in Charlottesville. Not ostracizing people out of a party because they happen to be pro life, or in the other party when they are pro choice.
I did provide the evidence based on what I have written here. Don't worry, I already voted and mostly for Democrats, including Raoul, White and Pritzker, though some while holding my nose. I left blank for Treasurer and Comptroller. The state is broken beyond repair. When my daughter finishes at Marquette, we are moving out of the state.

Baby-like = reporting to the mods like a tattletale snitch. Must drive some of the mods as crazy as the actual posts themselves.

1. I've never reported you to the mods.
2. They have actually repeatedly asked us to use the reporting feature.
3. Keep whining snowflake.

I've never said you have. I said there are gender-fluid people on here that do.
Why are you attacking me by calling me a name?

Are there gender-fluid people on here? I wasn't aware. Who are they?

Indeed, you do whine constantly.
