Just a random liberal dropping by to say “Hi” and check out this community.

I just want to applaud You all for having thick skin; I was looking at all the different posts, and sooo many had sooo many down votes.

Downvotes bug the fuck out of me. How do You all deal with it so well ? Any tips / advice ?

Thx 🙏😊

    That makes zero sense. The social contract is about the government and the people. The only people who are intolerant are the liberals. I am a very tolerant person.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_contract

    In moral and political philosophy, the social contract is an idea, theory or model that usually, although not always, concerns the legitimacy of the authority of the state over the individual.

      I’m aware, that is one of the applications of the concept. Which is why I said it was “a social contract”, as in it is a kind of unwritten rule of society, as in “an implicit agreement among the members of a society to cooperate for social benefits”.

      Try to keep up. Stop trying to control the language of others.

      Funny, only my republican side of the family is homophobic/transphobic. The rest are accepting. You have it backwards.
