[quote=FlyerInHi]I took Harvey’s comment to be in the context of a discussion/negotiation where people of different ideologies can come to something productive.

Here’s the entire quote:
[quote=harvey][quote=FlyerInHi]Is it fair to say that liberals want police reform and conservatives want the status quo ante all the cameras? I think generally, yes.[/quote]
The point was that there really are no liberals and there are no conservatives. Only shades of grey with no delimiters.
Of course some people self-identify into these groups and they are free to do that. If one wants to call themselves a liberal or conservative I’m not going to dispute the label they give themselves.
Political debate can be worthwhile when we focus on issues and candidates.
Making generalizations about arbitrarily-defined groups is counter productive.[/quote]
There’s no mention of negotiating. It seems pretty clear to me that he is talking about YOUR tendency to “make generalizations about arbitrarily-defined groups.”
I could go back just through this thread alone and find multiple instances of you doing that. I could find many hundreds if I went through your past posts. I once banned you from the site for doing it so relentlessly, despite my repeated requests to stop.
So your response demonstrates a lack of self-awareness of almost bearishgurl-like proportions.
I wonder if it would be possible to get you two into some kind of infinite loop…
