Everybody on the left on this board agrees Trump lost 2020
Not everybody on this board on the right can agree Trump lost 2020
This was the point I was making
Better :-)

The real point I am making.
No left wing extremists on this board. Facts are facts.
Multiple right wing extremists on this board that can't accept facts


Hmm...I'm not convinced that zero people on this board are left-wing extremists.

Kind of like the left and global warming?


Maybe, but at least there is a thing called, "Climate," that provably exists as people define it...so that's at least a better start than the Evangelicals have.

Damm straight

Oklahoma Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt said last week that he has no plans to get boosted, telling a reporter, "I'm perfectly healthy."

This is sick
He's killing people.
This is the kind of lying BS that Biden and hospitals are up against


Who is he killing?

There is no unified message against the virus due Foxnews, Governors that are clowns , and lying talking heads like Candace Owens.
We now have a segment of the population against the country because Biden is President
They were so insanely angry, they attacked our capital and now they don't want it investigated


Are you suggesting that the problem is that the press is legally permitted to say whatever it wants to?

As far as Governors, if they get too far out of line, I should assume that most (if not all) states have some mechanism by which a Governor can be removed from office.

Is there anybody on the left here that disputes facts

Too me an extremist position is to dispute facts such as Biden won

We might mean different things when we use terms such as, "Disputing facts," as well as other terms, but I don't think a person automatically has to be a disputer of facts to be a political extremist. I will say the two often go hand in hand, though.

1) Medical messengers are doing the best they can to predict a path of the virus and treatments. That's difficult for anyone to do accurately. It's called predicting the future. What do they get for that? "You said this, and you were wrong."

2. As more data comes in, the medical message is going to change. What do they get for that? "You said this, and now you say this?

3. Medical tests generally moves slower than what people hear about treatments. What do they get for that? "You're not endorsing treatments that people say are working."

4. They just plain make mistakes like other humans. They often don't get any allowance at all for that.


I'm sorry. He could do a better job. I agree; it is herding cats. He ran for the job saying that he would do better than Trump. By the numbers, he has not. More deaths and more infections on his watch. I don't blame him for that but he did ask for the job without any conditions.

He could sit them down and keep a consistent way of messaging how changes are coming as science evolves.

Why won't lefties admit his failures and consistently deflect with criticism of others? There is a word for that...

You are.

Fact: President Biden promised more testing.

Fact: President Biden has failed to deliver up to this point.

Fact: President Biden has the ability to deliver more tests.

Rumor: President Biden may have turned down a plan to get 700 million tests as part of a proposal in October.

You refuse to acknowledge the first three facts. Then you toss in some "those people did this"....

.

Its the right fighting vaccines
Vaccines are way way more important then testing
I've never been tested and doubt I ever will get tested
Testing won't do jack for me. I mask and socially distant.
Was gonna eat at a restaurant today. With Omicron, takeout
Why so hyped up on testing?
It's a total non-issue in my life
Vaccinated and boosted is whats important and righties are fighting vaccines tooth and nail.
