PJ says he's a liberal, yet approaches everything with extreme caution and has a few tweeker conspiracy theories.
Classic democrat.

The kickbacks. Oh the kickbacks. Beau's must have been pretty small, as he spent his life in public service.
Beau Biden - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
from wiki wiki ;
Biden graduated from Archmere Academy, his father's high school alma mater, and the University of Pennsylvania in 1991,[8] where he was a member of the Psi Upsilon fraternity.[9] He was also a graduate of Syracuse University College of Law, as was his father. After graduating from law school, he clerked for Judge Steven McAuliffe of the United States District Court of New Hampshire.[10] From 1995 to 2004, he worked at the United States Department of Justice in Philadelphia, first as Counsel to the Office of Policy Development and later as a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney's Office.[11][12]
Following the Kosovo War (1999), Biden was in Kosovo[a] and worked on behalf of the OSCE to train judges and prosecutors for the local judicial system.[13][14] In 2004, he became a partner in the law firm of Bifferato, Gentilotti, Biden & Balick, where he worked for two years before being elected Attorney General of Delaware.
Biden joined the military in 2003 and attended The JAG School at the University of Virginia[18] as a member of the Delaware Army National Guard. He attained the rank of major in the Judge Advocate General's Corps as part of the 261st Signal Brigade in Smyrna, Delaware.[19][20]
Biden's unit was activated to deploy to Iraq on October 3, 2008, and sent to Fort Bliss, Texas, for pre-deployment training,[21] the day after his father participated in the 2008 presidential campaign's only vice presidential debate. His father was on the record as saying, "I don't want him going. But I tell you what, I don't want my grandson or my granddaughters going back in 15 years, and so how we leave makes a big difference."[22]
Biden traveled to Washington, D.C., from Iraq in January 2009 for the presidential inauguration and his father's swearing-in as vice president,[23] then returned to Iraq.[24] Biden received a visit at Camp Victory from his father on July 4, 2009.[25]
Biden returned from Iraq in September 2009 after completing his yearlong stint on active duty.[26] Biden had announced during his deployment that he would continue to actively serve as Delaware's Attorney General by working in conjunction with his office's senior staff in Delaware,[27] although a member of his unit related Biden saying he had turned over most of his attorney general work to his deputy so as to focus on his duties in Iraq.[28]
For his service in Iraq, Biden was awarded the Bronze Star Medal.[29] After Biden's death, Army Chief of Staff Raymond Odierno delivered the eulogy at his funeral and presented a posthumous Legion of Merit for his service in the Delaware National Guard, stating "Beau Biden possessed the traits I have witnessed in only the greatest leaders."[30] He was also posthumously presented with the Delaware Conspicuous Service Cross, which is "awarded for heroism, meritorious service and outstanding achievement".[31]

The definition of liberal has apparently changed in the past couple of years. I am a former Democrat, but changed to no party affiliation about 5 or 6 years ago. I've never been a tweeker, but not all conspiracies are only theories either.PJ says he's a liberal, yet approaches everything with extreme caution and has a few tweeker conspiracy theories.

The classic definition: "willing to respect or accept behavior or opinions different from one's own; open to new ideas."

“so long as they are not about vaccines”

I have no problem if other people want to get vaccines, I respect their medical choices. Unfortunately that mutual respect is not returned back to me in terms of my own choice.

It is not a matter of choice. I believe this has been pointed out previously. Civic duty is not a popular idea these days.

Today the unvaccinated are like drunk drivers....they respect your right to drive sober so they can have "rights" to endanger everyone else on the road. We should lock them up for being a menace to society

Does a good job of explaining it, its libertarian stuff more or less.
Why the ‘Classical Liberal’ is Making a Comeback
A perfect storm of political upheaval has led to the resurgence of a label with centuries-old roots.

That is a separate topic, which I am not allowed to debate in this subforum unfortunately. Again, I am certainly open to your choice to your own medical procedures. I have no intention of trying to control your choice in the matter. I have always been pro-choice.

What I am saying is that your obligation exceeds your freedom. Freedom abused is bad for the entire community.

I'm not a libertarian. I support social services. Maybe you can find a different box to fit me into.Does a good job of explaining it, its libertarian stuff more or less.

I do not have an obligation to submit to medical procedures against my will. The Nuremberg Code is clear in that regard.

Like an umbrella, the word "different" has a gamut, and no longer functions beyond the edge. Person A thinks it's better to pull people into the workforce, whereas person B thinks it's better to push people into the workforce....those two methods qualify as being "different". When person C thinks it's best to wave their wiener at people in the workforce, they've stepped outside of the gamut and are now into "objectively wrong".
Your malicious amplification of the downsides of vaccines is deceitful at best, and you repeatedly step outside of the gamut that warrants respect.
