Regarding the recent left wing "influx" of posters to the poliboard

Disclaimer: not a complaint thread; I prefer more intellectual diversity


The most interesting thing that sticks out to me regarding the recent influx of left wing posters to the board is this: many of them have had accounts for years yet did not post ONCE on the poliboard during the election season. Three examples of this are FaninLa LoneDMG, and Zunic.

The reason why this interests me is because it completely puts to bed the hypothesis thrown out by many on here that the recent influx is because the democrats "smell blood in the water". If indeed blood in the water is what attracts liberals to the poliboard, why were so many of these posters absent during the pussy-gate episode, or the post-DNC phase when khangate sent hillary's lead to wide margins? Why were so many current leftwing posters on here absent in the late october and early november days when poll after poll showed her winning? That is blood and yet many liberals still did not come here.

The question then becomes: why visit the board to be rabidly anti-trump now instead of starting your posting during the actual election, when you still could have beaten him?

A new hypothesis of this curious trend is this: marginal democrats who disliked both candidates have been brought to action by the presence of trump. His very act of sitting in that oval office desk has made them realize that to beat him, they need to cast aside their personal dislike of the democratic party and fully embrace it to take on the menace.

In short, this board is proof that a liberal tea-party may be forming.
