When can this sub be called /r/liberal already?
[–]ELaphamPeabody 138 points139 points140 points  (16 children)
When younger, tech-savvy, educated people stop using the internet and tune into cable news instead?
What parts of the GOP platform do you think people here should be embracing? Carbon taxes used to be a Republican idea.

Probably the parts where Jesus hates gay people and won't let climate change happen...
That seems to be the part they all want the rest of us to embrace, anyway.

They are slowly stepping away from gay marriage.
[–]AlreadyDoneThat [score hidden]  (8 children)
You should bold "slowly" for emphasis. Tar pitch flows faster than they're moving away from it.
[–]redditor4258 [score hidden]  (7 children)
Whatever, gay marriage is happening one way or another sooner or later so it's really their own problem.
[–]AlreadyDoneThat [score hidden]  (6 children)
I look forward to being able to not have to qualify marriages with adjectives. We've largely gotten over needing to refer to "interracial marriages" and just call them marriages, hopefully we get there with "gay marriages".
[–]redditor4258 [score hidden]  (4 children)
one step at a time buddy.

Fuck that. Equality now. Get on board or get the fuck out of the way.
[–]SamuraiOutcast [score hidden]  (2 children)
That's a bit idealistic, while if it could work that way it'd be better unfortunately issues like this take time.

I look forward to a time when marriage is no longer certified by the state.
[–]ASK-ME-IF-IM-HIGH [score hidden]  (4 children)
Nobody wants you to embrace these things just stop calling republicans morons and racists.
[–]AlreadyDoneThat [score hidden]  (2 children)
...did you forget a '/s'?
[–]ASK-ME-IF-IM-HIGH [score hidden]  (1 child)
Thanks for proving my point.

You just keep telling yourself that if it makes you happy.
[–]FerrisBueller6 [score hidden]  (0 children)
I'm going to call a pig a pig. If republicans don't want to be called racist they should stop defending racist policies.
