how is that a “gotcha” question? There are documented cases of anti Asian crimes because of that. Shouldn’t the potus bring people together not fuel hate by using hateful rhetoric?
You think that calling it a "Chinese Virus" because it originated in China (well-documented also) sparked Asian hate crimes? Please provide a link if this is true
I’d say more anti-Trump than Democrats. Plus, most of the real far lefties hate Democrats too. But yeah, there are quite a few former Republicans than are in the fiercely anti-Trump crowd.
I would say there's been a large shift in not-republican since 2016. I wouldn't say it's heavily left unless you view left v right as a binary choice.
I was measuring it on a binary scale of bertstare is a Trumper and almost everyone else on this site is not hence the ‘heavily’ left comment But really the only point of my post was to tell him he’s an idiot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Lol I’m not a Trumper you idiot. I lean right, but voted for Obama both times. In the last election, the Dems produced fucking Hilary and Bernie. In this election, again, utter shit I didn’t have much of a problem with Trump up until this pandemic. If there was a good, viable dem candidate, I’d consider voting for them. But alas, Bernie, Warren, and Biden is what we have
Did you read the homepage of the site you linked? If you did, how would you think any article posted would slant? Shit even if you linked CNN or MSNBC I might take it
I went to the home page and the first thing on there is about zoombombing from White Supremacists. I have never heard of ADL
I’m guessing you’re going to find PBS as a bias source. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/what-anti-asian-attacks-say-about-american-culture-during-crisis
I do agree that the ADL is a biased sourced. Bert prefers that you not use sources that are biased against defamation.
No I do not, still doesn’t prove that simply calling it a Chinese virus when everyone knows it originated in China, makes that statement racist
Here’s an article from the liberal rag called the Wall Street Journal: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ws...avirus-hate-crimes-against-asians-11585828800
so go from “prove it” to “that source is biased” to “well not biased but it doesn’t prove anything “. Now do you see why people don’t take you serious? It’s okay to say he should not call it that because even if he doesn’t mean it to some idiots will use it to commit hate crimes against people of Asian decent”
I think it’s a reach that him calling it a Chinese virus directly lead to hate crimes when everyone knows where it originated. But to your original point, we aren’t going to agree on this
Is that where tmbrules went? oh wait lmao is that why fucking dblplay1212 had to post his voter reg card proving he was a Democrat?
You don’t think the president of the United States calling out a country/ethnicity by labeling them with this illness will cause certain people to act out? Use some modicum of common sense, please. The virus’ origin is irrelevant — it doesn’t single out a certain race, even if you do. All calling it a “Chinese” virus does is scapegoat people who have nothing to do with it. Be a better person.

Imagine thinking this site leans heavily left. That shows a complete lack of understanding of what leftism is.
In what world does being a democrat make you a leftist? If being a democrat meant you were a leftist Joe Biden would never have been in the primary in the first place.
Not trying to be an asshole, but you're clearly ignorant about the difference between a leftist and a democrat. They really aren't the same. It's pretty offensive that anyone would throw me in the same boat as people who willingly voted for Joe Biden.
