I know this sounds like a meme at this point, but when the "partisan" dividing line is science denial and twitter flame wars with foreign leaders... "reality has a well-known liberal bias” - Stephen Colbert
You do know you're quoting an American left-wing comedy show host, right? It's a great quote, but it's not exactly a good argument.
I think you can definitely get correct and incorrect facts, but doesn't it break down when insults at one group are allowed, but insults at the other group aren't? That seems like just being an asshole.
And from what I can tell, both of your political parties are in full science denial. Republicans deny climate change, and Democrats deny XY chromosomes determining sex. Well, "not all Democrats" and "not all Republicans", obviously.
That is a gross false equivalence. Gender, not sex. No democrat will deny that your XX/XY chromosome differentiates you for sexual reproduction. Gender on the other hand, which is what you're referring to, refers specifically to social roles. Also even if somehow that was the case, how would the superficial incorrect labeling of sex be comparable to the denial of human caused catastrophic destruction of the environment?
It's not really about equivalence. It's about insulting some other political affiliation for something your political affiliation is guilty of. And the key word is insulting: you're not trying to change anyone's mind. You're just out to condemn and belittle. It's very ugly as seen from my perspective, and the downvotes for pointing it out are ugly too. Especially when you can't downvote away people with disagree with you and expect it to help your cause. And even more so when I don't even disagree with your politics, just the broken partisanship involved.
Your type of tribal thinking is a cancer that will cause much hardship for your country in future.
You drew the insane equivalence! You can’t turn around after being called out and say it’s not about that.
People don’t dunk on you because you have a different political affiliation — they do it because you regularly deny the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change and then blame conspiracy theories and tribalism for the completely predictable responses you receive.

You wrote this same thing in reply to another poster before realized he’s not from the States and deleting it. Glad you found another spot to dump it!
