@raphjd In hindsight, I would argue that my response might have hinged on this topic being a reactionary take, which often states that Gwen Berry should be removed from the olympic team based on what she had did. I guess you could say that everyone is a hypocrite if we assume that everyone is immutable and that everyone doesn't grow/change based on their lived experience. So, I find digging up someone's thoughts/statements made from the past and calling them a hypocrite for it to be highly disingenuous.

The ending statement that you have on cancel culture is true and I agree with you; nobody should be judged based on their past self and instead I would argue that we should judge people present actions (considering their intent and context of their action). This is a point that I'll contend that most shitlibs don't want to accept. I'm much more left than your typical neolib or shitlib. In fact, I'd be more than happy to discuss my political leanings if you want.

So you genuinely believe that people should be judged based on statements they have said a "decade" ago. Or is this a gotcha ploy for shitlibs? If so, it was a good laugh and a valid point that shitlibs need to consider.

However, I find this argument to be made in bad faith if you truly are against cancel culture and a supporter of free speech.

@manhandler Once again, I only replied to @Spintendo argument which was made in bad faith. I would disagree that the ill woe's of society (i.e., homelessness, pollution, etc.) can entirely be based to a political party; instead I argued on population density. I've lived in Yakima, Seattle, and Spokane (whilst Spokane is not really a conservative bastion, it still is fairly conservative compared to the west side of Washington). Homelessness is just as big of an issue in Seattle and Spokane; albeit Spokane does not have as large of a problem as Seattle does. But from what I have noticed both cities don't even try to even deal with the growing homeless population.

As per your comment on San Francisco, I'm not gonna deny that the issues that you have communicated; in fact I very much agree with you. San Francisco has been run by establishment Democrats that are just as ignorant and unwilling to provide affordable housing that would have largely solved the rising homeless population.

@raphjd I never said that there are an equal amount of bathrooms in New York City and Boones Acre. You are correct that a larger populated city would have more bathrooms, I would assume so. I'm arguing about the average amount of people that each restroom services when comparing a densely populated versus sparsely populated areas, unless you genuinely believe that NYC and Boones Acre (wouldn't really classify that as a city but I digress) have the same ratio of people per bathroom.

To be clear, I'm not defending the establishment democrat (most elected officials) as I know that they are just as bad as most republican elected officials. I'm only replying as the argument provided by @Spintendo was in bad faith.

Not surprised about this at all. The US has a really bad record with human rights, regardless of ruling political party.

@spintendo Political parties aside, I would argue that this comparison is more about population density. If we had a single "restroom" and 80 people had to use compared to only 2 people, I would imagine that the restroom that serviced more people would definitely be more polluted; especially when we are comparing a population of 8 million to 45.
