A good sentiment, but unrealistic, I think.

  1. The leftist rabble are PC SJWs, they will not accept truth. It is not by our choice that we are a primarily right wing, it is because the leftists will not join us that is the case.

  2. They will use that vector of attack regardless. Again, truth has nothing to do with it.

  3. Being highly motivated is also important, and politics is a powerful motivator. Turning away avenues of research out of an attempt to be apolitical is also bad.

Ultimately, the left does not care that children are being raped and/or killed. They don't even give lip service to caring. Like not caring that Hillary stole the primary from Bernie by blatantly cheating, they dismiss and excuse away all evidence of wrongdoing as right wing lies or justified for the greater good. Like it or not, the moral absolutism of rightists means that's where we are going to get 90% of our support.

To be fair I wouldn't blame the left but some people in the US are extremely loyal to the democratic party and won't believe anything bad about them at all.

Because think, what we are doing right now is being social justice warriors

The real SJWs, however I like to think of us just being decent human beings. However, remember there are dogmatic believers on every ideology.

@djaeveloplyse "Ultimately, the left does not care that children are being raped and/or killed. They don't even give lip service to caring. " That tiny phrase is a sound bite to use against you. I understand your anger. Direct it towards the evil. In the end when justice comes party will mean little.

I will not shy away from the truth simply because evil people might use it against me. The left genuinely does not care, just like they don't care about Bill Clinton's many credible accusations of raping adults.

Then explain the number of "left" leaning folks here? This is not a leftist issue There are various cases of these dating back to the 70s all involving both parties. Again think outside of your political perception this is a good vs evil.

I didn't say it was a leftist issue at the top, I said that leftists among the common people who subscribe to PC will not be of much use.
