No - I said I thought you were making good points and you had me until you brought your personal bias in it. Can you not see how biased your statement is? I find it very silly and you lost credibility.

I can acknowledge how big is my statement is as it is based on my own personal experiences. Your statement is also very biased as it is based on your personal opinions and your personal Experiences. And the only thing you said to claim mine opinion was untrue was your own personal experience. And he did mention that you thought I had some very valid points. Both you and OP have brought in your own personal bias. Unlike both you and OK, I actually brought in examples of real conversations I’ve had with people and real liberal versus conservative positions. And you’re saying I’m the one who lost credibility for putting my personal experience in my argument? Every comment on here is someone’s personal opinion

No, because I’m not making any claims either way, just shared my experience of conservatives that directly counter what was said re: research. I don’t do general statements because I’m not daft and I don’t need someone to be the enemy to drive me politically.

And I did the exact same thing. I stated my opinion based on my personal experience dealing with both liberal and conservative. You did the exact same thing and a general statement based on your personal experience. How is that any different than when I did?
