Consider this an open invitation. Im willing to engage with people. I am very disturbed by the results of this election and its implications, as I've made clear, but I am willing to engage with anyone who wants to talk with me. Im a third party member, I was clear that I dont think voting third party is a wasted vote, Im a proud green and feel very strongly about that party's platform, and I think I was relatively open about how I went back and forth between voting green and voting for Clinton. I don't think I spoke unfairly to anyone on here. If someone feels I did, then here's an invitation to engage with me in a deeper conversation.
That said, engaging in conversation is a two way street. The burden of reaching across the divide doesn't fall on either side exclusively. Were people actually shut down on this thread? Or were they just called out? I personally only sometimes have the patience to coddle grown adults. But most the time I expect people to be able to stand up for themselves and back up their own opinions and views.
