@SingsFat@SaraBareilles@GeorgeTakei No intimidation but if 2 people have opposing views and both believe they are right, they should argue their points, respectfully. It helps both sides understand each other's argument and maybe everyone walks away with a new point of view. Maybe "fight" was the wrong word to use.
@MerickRoger@SaraBareilles@GeorgeTakei That's fair. George may be a bit too confrontational in his tweet. I do agree with the overall message of not backing down from a fight as a metaphor for continuing conversations though. I'm disappointed with anyone who shies away from discussion regardless of party.
@auroviryavaan Point taken. I don't agree with the deplorable or twitler comment of the tweet but I do agree with the "not going anywhere" and "using my voice" part. It's the only way to understand each side.
@jameznash@SaraBareilles@GeorgeTakei Point taken. I don't agree with the deplorable or twitler comment of the tweet but I do agree with the "not going anywhere" and "using my voice" part. It's the only way to understand each side.
@terms1776 It kinda seems like a war zone doesn't it? I've never had so many people from both sides upset with me at the same time as I do from this little tweet.
@BlazeWorshippe1 @PopoffSmurf @SaraBareilles@GeorgeTakei I believe that's also a problem both the left and right have. Many people on social media are only looking to get a reaction from someone on the other side. They don't care about discussing actual issues or policies. They want to drop the mic in front of somebody and walk away.
@BlazeWorshippe1 @PopoffSmurf @SaraBareilles@GeorgeTakei In my experience, all sides do the same. Look at Twitter the past few days, many new users from the right coming on-board believing this will be a new conservative echo chamber and many users from the left leaving for that same reason. Both sides should be here in my opinion.
@SingSellPray @PopoffSmurf @SaraBareilles@GeorgeTakei I should clarify here. I do believe there are some extreme fringe people that believe completely unbelievable things, but I don't believe it's all veiled racism.
@PopoffSmurf @SaraBareilles@GeorgeTakei I agree on that point. There is no saving some: but not everybody is that extreme in their views from the right. Those are the ones worth engaging.
