Politics Thread

[GoMuskies]

Y'all need to speak with the ladies:

Worth it.

[Xville]

Are you suggesting that the ENTIRE MSM construct, ABC, NBC, CBS news, along with their cable affiliates. ALL of the big city print media rags, along with the smothering Progressive Social Media outlets, are seriously challenged by FOX News, Conservative Radio and a some insignificant extremist blogs?

It's not even a close fight in who is controlling the National Political narrative. Stop with the nonsense.

Didn't say that. What I was inferring is that just like some are heavily influenced by "MSM," there are others who are heavily influenced by right wing media sites.

[Xville]

The commentary on this board that passes for analysis by some is mind-blowingly stupid and incredibly lazy.

First, a couple of definitions:

Rare: "seldom occurring or found"

Exceedingly: "to an extreme degree"

Alright, a few polls:

* ~80% of Democrats who had heard of CRT had a favorable view of it.

* ~70% of Democrats think that racism is a big problem:

One year later.....

* 28% of Democrats were strongly in favor of teaching students that the US was stolen from others - another 21% were weakly in favor of this.

* ~46% of Strong Democrats endorsed the firing of four people who lost their jobs over giving offense to woke sensibilities

A couple of other surveys of interest:

Ville – I want to sincerely apologize to you for calling you a liar on multiple occasions. I should’ve never have disparaged all the liars of the world by lumping you in with them. You, my friend, are a genuine psychopath…

[GoMuskies]

Lou was against firing Travis Steele. Isn't that disqualifying for all opinions?

good talk lou..your looking up links and posting them are lazy. get out of the basement every once in a while

[Xville]

he was also going to come on here at the end of the season and tell me how wrong i was when he led the team to the second weekend of March Madness

[Xville]

What do you think I've been doing?.......X,Y,Z?

I've covered most of the alphabet pointing out the insanity of this train wrecked Administration.

Open Border policies and some energy policies im with you on. There has been nothing this administration has done in regards to defund the police, CRT, pronoun usage etc. Those type of things may have been implemented to varying degrees at local or state level guided by the crazies

[XU_Lou]

Guns? How did that enter into THIS conversation that YOU started, and had nothing to do with YOU? This is so typical - you do this all the time - you get blasted with facts that counter your lazy conclusions, then you to start slinging shit around to obfuscate that fact that you're losing another argument. This is precisely why you're a certified psychopath.

Seek help....

The Democrats as portrayed by right wing media (obsessed with pronouns, want 100% open borders, critical race theory, endless shutdowns) are exceedingly rare.

Furthermore,

"The Democrats as portrayed by right wing media (obsessed with pronouns, want 100% open borders, critical race theory, endless shutdowns) are exceedingly rare."

Sorry, what you're trying to say here simply isn't true. The attitudes among Democrats (elected and voters) on all 4 of these topics is far more pervasive than "exceedingly rare". To deny that is simply being out of touch with reality.

You’ve been indoctrinated by extreme right wing media sites. That’s why you believe your last paragraph.

[Xville]

Let me spell it out for you, so maybe you can finally understand Lou....I took one example of guns which was mentioned in the thread and is a pretty hot divisive topic and found something ridiculous and is a democratic view of republicans. (35% of republicans believe you should be able to carry a gun without a permit.)

You did the same thing with some republican perspective of democrats and found a link or two here and there of some polls that state that X percentage of democrats believe in y, and try to pass it off that it proves those ideas are not exceedingly rare but pervasive.

You really should start understanding that just because it says it on the internet, doesn't mean it's true. Let's take that Marist poll for instance...1346 adults that were surveyed by someone calling their landline (who the hell has a landline in 2022) or their mobile and answering questions. What sane person 1.) has time for that nonsense and 2.) actually answers spam calls and then keeps staying on the line after identifying that its a spam call? Then you, extrapolate that 1346 people from the 300 million + that live in the US and think you have done something?

Case closed
