THere's a chasm between being genuinely open-minded and what the left thinks open-mindedness is.
What’s the point in a masturbatory echo chamber? If your ideas are solid they’ll stand up to rigorous scrutiny. And if they aren’t/don’t you shouldn’t hold them.
You compared politics to UK/UL. It’s a perfect example and a horrible one at the same time. Perfect in that’s exactly how people around here treat it. We’re literally on a sports forum. And horrible in that it should NEVER be seen that way. Politics should always be about what’s best for the people. Not us vs them. There is no them. Only us. Our founding principles matter, and brushing them aside in favor of the artificial high of team sports is not just sad but reprehensible and abhorrent.
I see it as an outlet to express frustration with our current government corruption. I've learned that this board is a lot more enjoyable for myself if I block those posters that are pro McConnell/Pelosi establishment admirers. I get no joy from arguing with them but others like the back and forth banter.
That's what Real Presidents do.
Keep sucking off the bosses, they’ll trickle down on you one of these days. Surely…
Elias is one of those criminally evil dudes that history should not remember fondly. He is telling the truth here.... He doesn't care about the law... He just wants to win and he'll do whatever he can get away with to win.
I have people like that in my on family. Their values are aligned with Republicans but their families have voted Dem for generations and they'll crawl threw glass to cast their vote for whatever Dem is on the ticket it makes no difference who it is.

LOL, coming from someone who routinely mocks "hillbillies and rednecks" and peoples intelligence levels based on how they write on here.
I'm imitating nobody and everyone of the morons who spout that at the same time. It's no individual in particular. Just written to purposely sound like something a doofus NPC sheep would say.
If you are a commie you are not in a good mental state to begin with.
All the times he's bashed Democrats for anti-Semitism and he's STILL voting Democrat? That's insane. Doesn't surprise me but I do NOT understand how anyone would vote for someone/some party that openly despises your existence. All the economic and social policies don't mean squat if you're dead. How does any rational person get past that little sticking point? He's made fun of the 'woke' mindset, the obsession with LGBTQ+ agenda, how Dems have taken some issues way too far AND been very outspoken about the rampant hate of Israel/Jews and he's STILL gonna pull the lever for Kamala. That's like volunteering to be first in the gas chamber to make sure it still works efficiently.
Because the vast majority here are like minded. They come here and chat about things they agree about. Whether that's an echo-chamber or not is irrelevant: it's a positive experience.
But for you, to be constantly embroiled with dozens of posters at any given time, it just can't be good for your mental health, no matter how much you're about to insinuate the opposite. I would hate to be in a forum of people whose views are in direct conflict with mine. It's just constant negativity.
Unfortunately, while this may be a "political forum" that presents itself as a "for everyone" format, the fact remains that it's 90% conservative. So to see you spend hours a day here fighting with everyone, almost like it's your duty.. it can't be good. Every day, clock in at 9am, constant conflict for hours on end, clock out at 8pm? Maybe never? That's a shit ton of negativity. Same would go if one of us went to a liberal-leaning forum. Uphill battle, you're not swaying anyone, and you're treated like the village idiot. I couldn't do it fot more than a day.
Oh Really?
Well, this is awkward.
Donald Trump once donated to Kamala Harris campaign in California
Before he first ran for president, Donald Trump once donated money to re-elect Kamala Harris as California attorney general.www.usatoday.com
But you didn't just type something someone would say. You intentionally misspelled words to convey a speaking style. Whose? You don't want to say because you realize it now that you've been called out on it. It's just so much a part of your rhetoric you can't help it.
Since the filibuster isn't a constitutional issue, I don't understand the argument.
It's been several years ago, now since I read it, so the exact number probably has changed, but at the time, an article pointed out that with the filibuster 11% of the country could veto change.
I keep asking for a unicameral legislature based on population + a direct election of the president. If the people want you to wield power, you wield power. If you screwed up, you'd get tossed. Easy-peasy. Every X years we'd see which politician was "far left" or "far right". Who could ask for anything more?
See how they slid the term "first generation homebuyer" in there? That, of course, means you aren't eligible if your parents ever bought a home. This should be sent to every single young person out there that's having trouble getting their first home.
How could any of your Liberals vote for people that do this kind of thing? F-sticks.

California close to approving $150K loans for illegal immigrants to help purchase homes
A bill making its way through the California legislature would make undocumented migrants eligible to participate in a program that provides down-payment assistance.
Bigoted towards who? You obviously have someone or a group of people in mind that you see in your brain when you read that. Yet you have no problems at all being bigoted AF towards "hillbillies and rednecks", southerners in general and especially Christians.
What can I say, I guess I'm just not as weak as you are. The crusade must be fought, whether you're willing to fight it or not. Our ancestors fought tooth and nail for every single right, freedom, and privilege we enjoy today. We owe it to them to fight for the future generations and not just pull the ladder up behind us.
That sounds bigoted AF. Who are you casting that stereotype upon? What group of people or culture are you aligning him with?
Whomever you were mocking. How about you just tell us who you were imitating?
The redneck he is. I have no problem saying that out loud. You act like I should.
I can only imagine the type of Dad (or mom) your kids are getting after you sign off the forums after arguing non stop for 15 hours. I'd be absolutely floored if you had a healthy relationship with family, or anyone really. Good luck.
Not that this proposal deserves any legitimate consideration, but just for the sake of the debate, how exactly are we defining “first generation home buyer?” This seems to be a catchy phrase to sell to the masses that is ultimately pretty flimsy in substance.See how they slid the term "first generation homebuyer" in there?

I didn’t wait for it to trickle down. I went out and made something of myself. Difference between me and you.
The RNC should have dumped Ronna McDaniel three years ago and gotten this kind of crap addressed sooner.
Lara Trump Reveals Only 50 of 700 GOP Poll Watchers Accepted in Detroit While Over 2,300 Democrats Were Allowed | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hᴏft
In a revealing interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News, Republican National Committee Co-Chair Lara Trump exposed a startling disparity in the acceptance of Republican poll watchers in Detroit during the 2024 election cycle.www.thegatewaypundit.com
Same here. In fact most people i know are this way. Literally 90% or more of what they believe is Republican but they vote dem anyway.
I agree. It makes zero sense. Theyre literally siding with people who support a nation and religion who openly wants to genocide your people off the earth. Yet youll vote for it anyway?
"In his blistering, insightful account of his time in the Trump White House, McMaster describes meetings in the Oval Office as “exercises in competitive sycophancy” during which Trump’s advisers would flatter the president by saying stuff like, “Your instincts are always right” or, “No one has ever been treated so badly by the press.” Meanwhile, Trump would say “outlandish” things like, “Why don’t we just bomb the drugs?” in Mexico or, “Why don’t we take out the whole North Korean Army during one of their parades?”
What an idiot.
Yep....equivalent to setting aside $X millions for "affordable housing" across the country. Who and what defines "affordable".
Hell, here in Lex, the "affordable" (by my definition) houses for your first time buyer are generally in substandard/older neighborhoods and/or they require substantial upgrades. Yes, there are exceptions, if Biff and Buffy both get out of med school making mid 6 figures each and want a place in Firebrook.
It's all a sales pitch, and it trickles all the way down to the mayor.
I'd rather be right than well-adjusted any day. Society is stupid. Why would any intelligent person want to conform to that? You're intentionally choosing to limit yourself. To summarize with pop culture:
"No, you're not wrong. You're not wrong, Walter, you're just an asshole!" "Ok then."
"I don't wanna waste my time, become another casualty of society. I'll never fall in line, become another victim of your conformity. OR BACK DOWN"

Perpetually miserable.
Is that what you're dialect sounds like when you talk Dion? Did I hit a nerve or something? Seems like I did, else you wouldn't be so offended. It phonetically rolled right off your tongue when you read it, didn't it.
Envy and jealousy are powerful feelings.
So you have no problem being a pot calling the kettle black?
This is my favorite Dion post of all time.
Dion is a confirmed bachelor 😉. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
I was part of that conversation and I think we were all just razzing each other. It didn't sound like mean name calling to me. Maybe I have a tin ear for that kind of thing. The issue was was water fluoridation which isn't exactly the most modern of complaints. A long history of people razzing each other. (Think Dr. Strangelove back in the early 60s.)
What are we talking about here? You're equating your typing like that to my making fun of rednecks? So which group were you imitating like I make fun of rednecks?
Internal polls shows 57% of his voters would vote for Trump if he withdrew.
