Being called a "hypocrite" and being told I have a "fuck you" attitude isn't exactly encouraging open dialogue. 

Either way, doesn't change the larger point that people in the middle feel a bit forced towards the right because if someone doesn't 100% with the pre-assigned talking points they are viewed as a bad person.  

I’m pretty sure neither of those things are any meaner or any more hostile than the things you have said to Soundwave while arguing about video game graphics, something that is far less important in the grand scheme of things.

If someone feels they are being pushed to the right, the side that wants to take away reproduction rights, LGBT rights, voting rights, labor rights, pretends racism doesn’t exist, denies science & climate change, ignores gun violence, views immigrants as lesser humans, attempts to erase history, and wants to defund education, healthcare, social security and other safety net programs, all because leftists sometimes say mean things online then idk what to tell you, maybe that person was looking for an excuse to move to the right or maybe they are a snowflake who can’t handle any form of criticism.

Bit of a straw-man don't you think and perhaps an example of what he was talking about.  Taking all those issues and implying the other side's stance on them is a school yard reaction ....
