I'd say the vast amount of viewers who might have enjoyed this show last season are extremely turned off by this. What happened to getting your escapism without a liberal agenda shoved down your throat?

Two or three agenda pushes in a season would be one thing. Two or three in a row is a little frustrating. Especially when they don't even try to present anything from the other side.

What 'other side' should be presented?
"What race are you? If you don't tell me I'll justassume the worst."

They presented people who don't toe the line when it comes to the environment as evil people.

How so?

Sorry, I don't have time to tell you the whole episode. If you didn't see it, that is on you.

If you can't back up your viewpoint with actual evidence, that's on you.

Yeah, you certainly seem like you are an open-minded person when it comes to people who disagree with your point of view.

All I've done is ask you about your viewpoint. It's not my fault you can't answer.
"What race are you? If you don't tell me I'll justassume the worst."

I answered, you moved the goal-posts, you'll keep pestering and acting like I didn't answer until you get an answer you deem to be correct.
You bore me.

The one that denies climate change because Lena and Martian Manhunter took the other side of immigration.

What does the ideal climate change denier look like in your mind?
"What race are you? If you don't tell me I'll justassume the worst."

Manicc77 — 9 years ago(November 21, 2016 12:13 PM)

Someone who denies climate change? Idk, honestly not sure what you're getting at.

ChocolateButt — 9 years ago(November 21, 2016 12:31 PM)

I'm asking what more you think the writers should have done to represent the 'other side' of the climate change debate.
"What race are you? If you don't tell me I'll justassume the worst."

Nothing. I'm not criticizing. I wasn't fully paying attention to the episode, but from what I saw, Supergirl didn't favor one
side
all that much, and really just brought awareness to the idea of climate change as a topic of interest.

In all fairness they did turn the doctor who the episode's embodiment of climate change acceptance into one of Superman's most monsterous villians.

Yep.. I read that part as a stab at climate activists myself.

If this show pushes a liberal agenda, what would the Conservative agenda be? If you want a show with no agenda, that isn't possible for life does address the social and economic issues that affect us.
