Something to Consider: Please Stop with the Trump vs. Biden Threads

[pnewton]

I don’t see a need to even converse in a Catholic forum with those advocating for a party that promotes this intrinsic evil.

Posting is always optional.

Those who in turn, are very open borders seem to refuse to recognize this is very dangerous for America and for fellow Americans.

I’ve been pushing the idea of an election 2020 megathread. Right now we have like seven threads that are functionally the same food fight replayed in each. We should just have one thread for fighting about the election and quarantine it there.

I have my political positions the same as anyone else. That doesn’t mean I see value in debating them.

I do think you are being a bit disingenuous here. You claim to not want to debate yet you shamelessly use your thread as a platform to promote voting for Trump to the point of accusing Democrat voters of mortal sin, a judgement only a confessor can make. Are you baiting us? You seem to judge Democrat voters more harshly than the Church herself does.

BTW I just did a quick count on World News and counted 10 headlines that could be construed as pro-Trump/Republican. My take lurking here is that there’s pretty even representation from both sides of the divide. The issue seems to be talking past each other. Things have become so polarized in the US that every anti-my opinion thread gets so amplified out of proportion that it appears one is being overwhelmed by the “enemy”.

Once upon a time our political rivals were adversaries. When we start to view them as enemies, democracy is on a slippery slope to disaster.

NB I was responding to the OP, not Victoria. Sorry! I hate posting from a mobile device…

You’re not wrong, but the fact that some will take this stance to justify voting for candidates who promise to expand abortion “rights” in almost every way conceivable does not mitigate their personal guilt. For a Catholic to vote for a politician who promises to do whatever is in their power to allow for more abortions will be guilty of that innocent blood by their supporting that candidate with a vote. While you are right that there is more to being pro life than just abortion, it doesn’t change the fact that the right to life is the single most important right there is. If we don’t have the right to be born, no other rights matter. Securing the right to life for every human being must come first.

I thought you wanted less politics. . .

And the democrats have made it very clear that they will promote abortion in all things, no Catholic can vote for them and not commit a grave sin. There is no invincible ignorance at play here. People who justify voting Democrat even though they know that they are going to spread abortion, WILL be held accountable for the blood of the unborn on their judgement day. That’s a horrifying thought that clearly, people don’t think about.

So what exactly was your point in starting this thread again?
