Representing everything that's wrong with the world

[ChiefD]

Hi, I'm a "liberal" by most definitions, not from the states but certainly would vote democrat if I could. 

I joined ATS recently because I believe that, in this era of echo chambers, it's important for us to seek out opinions that challenge our own, and ATS seems conservative-dominated. After I inserted myself unceremoniously into some divisive threads, someone by the name of ksihkahe called me out for being *checks notes* pedantic, disingenuous, a pearl clutcher, and worst of all: A defender of democrats. Intrigued, I decided to check out the link in their signature and it brought me here. In the spirit of this thread, and since work is very slow right now, I thought: The place could use some dissenters. Fuck it, why not join?

A bit about my relevant interests: I like forums, debates, people that don't shy away from getting to the bottom of a disagreement, capitalism, democracy, freedom, Pete Buttigieg, reading entire SCOTUS rulings for some reason, and Barack Obama.

If I'm not welcome here, please let me know, I'll be out of your hair.

Hello TokenLiberal, and welcome! Greetings from a fellow liberal, albeit from the U.S. Yes, it’s always good to have some dissent on any site. It’s an uphill battle, but hey, why not?
