no. Not even our farthest right whackadoodle compares to the sheer crazy that is the average poster on DU.



Plus a lot of traditionally left viewpoints (like drug legalization and foreign noninterventionism) have a lot of support here. It's not doctrinaire conservative.

Agree. The trolls from the left that post here are bat shite crazy.


just because someone doesn't share your perspective, that doesn't automatically mean they are trolling.

This is true. There are a lot of legitimately stupid people out there.

Did I say anything differently? Are you claiming to be a troll?

Yup. Very large group of libertarians here (of which I am one.)

While several people have said this board is the equivalent I would like to point out that although the majority of posters lean right no one is prevented from posting simply because they aren't right leaning. DU bans people who stray from their approved ideology.

I doubt that but I'm sure the dem-prog posters believe that.

Such persecution, much discrimination.

You're a fricking nutjob dude. Noone is taking anything you say seriously.


You're angry because you know I'm right and you're petrified of the truth. Perhaps it would be somewhat cathartic if you told the board just what it is about the truth that scares you?

Well, we have our share of whackadoodles here but it's not nearly as monolithic here as it is as DU. While PT is definitely a center to right board, left posters aren't banned immediately and there is a range of conservative here from whackadoodle right to whackadoodle libertarian and people from all over that spectrum have no issue calling each other out.
