When did I say anything about the Democrats? I agree with you that the Democrats are a conservative party, and the Republicans are a fascist party. I don't think we were saying anything at all about the Democrats or the Republicans, and I don't think it's controversial that favoring gay marriage is a left-wing position and opposing it is a right-wing position.

Your second point is arguing against what exactly? People are talking about things they don’t like about the CEO of a company. Some of those people are going to choose not to support that company as is their right. WTF business is it of yours aside from your freedom to make a different decision?

Let the truth out and let people make up their own minds.

100% agreed. Do you feel the same way about "Firefox Money: Investigating the bizarre finances of Mozilla"?

If centrism is your thing (and it seems it is)

Incorrect. I used to be registered with the US Green Party before they shit the bed, if that gives you any idea.

Absolutely. It's why I'm not in related threads telling people who are bothered by it that they shouldn't be.

I don’t think we were saying anything at all about the Democrats or the Republicans, and I don’t think it’s controversial that favoring gay marriage is a left-wing position and opposing it is a right-wing position.

My issue is here:

(i.e. “But MY side is the RIGHT one, so it’s different”) is exactly why the right wing thinks Trump shouldn’t go to prison and it’s okay when they cheat in elections.

Even if for some reason you want to limit the scope to a generic "Left" and "Right" even after invoking Trump, you're still creating a false equivalence.

As you acknowledge, we can point to the factual basis for the concerns the Left has about the actions of the Right. The right has misinformation, disinformation, and willful ignorance as the basis for their outrage. "Both sides" thinking they are right doesn't boil down to the same thing when one side actually is demonstrably wrong.
