I think they should be welcome to share their bad opinion, and I'm not going to boycott or blame a platform that allows them to do so. Instead, I'm going to engage with them and tell them why they are wrong. It's not the same thing as saying Reddit can't let people share bad opinions and claim they don't represent those opinions.

I didn't say punished, I said you believe they should have consequences. I disagree. I may not like what is said by people on the left side of the aisle, but I do not think their should be consequences for running their ads. This polarization is not sustainable and people need to knock it off. Just get spotify if you can't stand to hear ads on the radio, and watch Netflix or HBO if you can't stand them on TV. Or just get thicker skin. That's the best alternative honestly. A little thick skin goes a long way.

>"Property of [Biker's Name]." But sure, blue lives matter and all of that, right?

Tangentially related, US politics aren't actually divided into two neat sides. We say the American Left and the American Right, but there are a lot of differences of opinion within that.

Even within subdivisions it's split. The Christian Right makes up a portion of the American Right, but even within them they don't all agree. Some are staunchly against gay marriage, others allow them in their churches. Presbyterians and Catholics are often very different on their political and religious views, but they are both generally of the Christian Right.

Point is, not every person on the right believes "blue lives matter" because the American Right isn't just one opinion shared.

I really like! They're painting all the metal fixtures throughout the riverfront park and outside the Palisades theater the same shade.

That entire riverfront park is going to get a nice remodel next year, and we just added an amphitheater on the river a few years ago!

That entire riverfront section is going to be where Mckeesport begins it's downtown rebuild.
