The seemingly commonplace idea that popular american liberals are somehow less evil than the GOP is dangerous poison.

What does this statement have to do with the topic being discussed?

Other than just being the usual political flamebait that people always feel compelled to sling around when discussing policitics, of course.




The post is suggesting that people vote based on issues vitally important to the freedoms of this interest group (HN).

I am pointing out that one should live (and vote, and think, et c) based on issues vitally important to the freedoms of all humans, as these are much more life-and-death than internet censorship (and that one is huge, too).

Political flamebait is usually of the pro-/anti-skub variety. I argue that it is just that - flamebait - as we can expect near-identical behavior on the issue of basic liberties from any candidate in the US with half a prayer of being elected.

It is now time to leave. This is not a drill.
