I don't need to submit anything. I just need to stand here and laugh at the tree children. -
Which part of science is most important to you?
Deluge replied to Deluge's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Below is AI's take on how leftoids view science, and it more or less reflects the "All of the above" choice on this poll: According to the political left, science is an evolving, evidence-based process that serves as an essential tool for driving social progress, protecting the environment, and informing equitable public policy. In this view, scientific consensus is seen as the most reliable authority for solving systemic challenges like climate change and public health crises. [1, 2, 3] The progressive perspective on science can be broken down into a few core tenets: Evidence-Based Policy: The left strongly advocates that public legislation—ranging from environmental regulations to social safety nets—should be guided by empirical data and scientific consensus rather than ideology. [1, 2] A Tool for Equality: Many progressives view the scientific ethos (rationality, impartiality, fairness) as a natural ally to their values. They believe scientific inquiry, when executed without bias, dismantles outdated hierarchies and promotes the mutual benefit of all members of society. [1] Systemic Approach: The left often approaches science as a holistic, interconnected discipline, particularly in environmentalism, where the focus is placed on the long-term sustainability of ecosystems and public health. [1, 2, 3] However, defining science from this perspective can also lead to intense ideological debates. Critics often point out that the left can be susceptible to scientism—the belief that science is the ultimate or only arbiter of truth. Conversely, some voices on the left critique mainstream scientific institutions as being compromised by corporate or capitalist incentives. [1, 2, 3, 4] Meanwhile, conservative critics and some centrist observers have argued that the modern left sometimes allows social justice narratives to influence their view of empirical data—particularly when it comes to biological taboos or "feel-good" fallacies regarding things like organic agriculture or nuclear energy.

NEWARK, N.J. – A Brooklyn man was charged with threatening to assault and murder a U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement officer outside an ICE detention facility, U.S. Attorney Robert Frazer announced. Nicholas Matthew Scelfo, 27, of Brooklyn, New York, was arrested for influencing, impeding, and retaliating against a federal officer by threat. Scelfo appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Stacey D. Adams in Newark federal court on June 1, 2026, and was released on a $100,000 bond. He was also prohibited from returning to Delaney Hall. https://www.justice.gov/usao-nj/pr/brooklyn-man-charged-threatening-assault-and-murder-ice-officer-and-his-family I always find it interesting how civility, enlightenment and compassion all get kicked to the curb when a leftist shows its true self.

Your opinion isn't evidence - it's just an opinion, and a weak opinion at that. The truth is you don't have any evidence because the part of the science community that spews that propaganda are activists, not real scientists. -
Do you use gender pronouns?

Maybe I'm being too much of an optimist. He does sound like the rest of those zombies, usually. -
No, I'd say roughly one-quarter of the country is hardened leftists, the other 75% are either Republican (50%) or dipshit centrists (25%).

No, you don't get to latch on to a legitimate problem. If New Orleans is going through rising seawater levels because of man-made climate change, then you need to be able to separate that problem from the peat soil problem and show it. -

This is also true. Which helps explain why they use a "barrage" approach in their messaging as opposed to logic and reasoning. What's unfortunate is that too many people fall under their continuous bullshit and end up voting for the Jesus trashing psychopath. -

Because of climate change? Or because of something else? Ai talks about drying out peat soils: Parts of New Orleans have been below sea level for over 130 years. The city was originally built above sea level, but after mechanized drainage systems and levees were introduced in the late 1890s to drain surrounding swamps, the underlying peat soils dried out, oxidized, and sank. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] By 1895, approximately 5% of the city had dropped below sea level. By the 1930s, roughly one-third of the city was below sea level. Today, more than half of New Orleans sits below sea level, with some of the lowest-lying areas—like Lakeview, Gentilly, and New Orleans East—sitting 5 to 12 feet below the ocean. [1, 2, 3] For more details on the city's topography and history, check out this guide on How Humans Sank New Orleans from The Atlantic. [1]
