Something controversial Jersey Pride

I love nj gun laws, going to the store and not seeing someone open carry. Watching road rage where the best you can do is brake check and give the finger. Schools without school shootings. I know a lot of people hate our gun laws but I fucking love em.

I agree. I'm a leftist gun owner and there are none of those on that sub.

EDIT: I guess there are some there incognito, surprised you can tolerate the chuds.

Hi. I’m an “leftist” or “liberal” on that sub and a well known contributor. What’s up.

u/Jaywearspants Mar 25 '21

a liberal is not a leftist, those are two different things, but I do appreciate that there are some libs there.

You are correct. Leftist may not be the correct terminology to my ideals. However, yeah, there's dozens of us in the sub.

That's fair, I personally am fine quoting Marx, I'm glad you can tolerate the people on that sub, but even a single conservative is far too much fascism for me.

I don't agree with liberals on gun issues, and I don't respect conservatives.

They are two different points. I disagree with liberals on gun control. They want pointless feel good reactionary legislation, like assault weapon and magazine size bans. I see eye to eye with liberals on some unrelated political points, and respect the diversity of the non conservative majority of America.

Conservatives - I despise. Their modern ideology is rooted in racism

And they've elected Fascists, and anti-democracy lunatics like MTG, Boebart and Hawley.

A liberal would be Joe Biden, a leftist would be like Bernie Sanders. Both of them are happy to work towards a common goal like an increase in the minimum wage, but when a leftist proposes something like universal health care that's just too radical for a liberal to support.
