What a dumbass. This is the most liberal board on this site, hands down.


That's like pointing out the most liberal city in Saudi Arabia.

In no rational or objective look at the political make up of this board would anyone call any of the boards on this site "liberal."

It's the sort of observation that can only be said with a straight face if you are standing so far to the right that the center-right is being mislabeled as communist in their eyes.

Dude, settle down. We’re trying to have as much of a Kumbaya moment as is allowable on the internet in 2021. No one takes any non-Pelicans related opinions seriously.

I'm not mad, just pointing out the absurdity of a bunch of Trumpers calling this board liberal while they step over the Trumper shitting up this thread with political drive-by posts to collectively pile onto the guy calling that person(and that reoccurring behavior) out.

I could give two shits about his beliefs or politics, he sucked as a coach, AND HE DIDNT WIN GAMES!!!!!

This is what I wish this board and every board on this site besides the poliboard would focus on.

I don't give a shite about Stan's or any of y'all's political beliefs. I'd cheer for Che Guevara if he could coach the Pels to a championship.... maybe.... as long as he'd chill out on the whole murdering dissidents thing.

The comment was this board was the most left leaning (which is probably true). Everyone knows that the average TD poster leans right. Literally no one wants to see this board cluttered with political opinions, whether it’s from SVG or a random poster. Almost all of the political drive-by posts get little to no response from other posters, and normally have a pretty equal up/down vote ratio. What does get responses is the gasoline that gets poured on those political drive-by posts, calling everyone on this board “incels, trumpers, incest babies, etc.”

I’ll summarize:
-Everyone knows this whole website leans right.
-On a website that leans right, you’ll get right leaning opinions.
-Because this board leans right, right leaning drive-by posts almost universally get ignored, while left leaning posts will get attacked.
-Still, no one wants this board cluttered with politics.
-No one gives a shite about you pointing out “tribalism” and “dog-piling.”
-Every time you bitch about this stuff, you increase the politics on this board x10.

These are simple facts about every message board or social media platform in the history of the internet. Can we please stop polluting every thread with stupid shite like this, it’s fricking exhausting.

So basically, let the righties talk their shite and you lefties just shut up about it.

Nah, how about you righties police yourself so the lefties don't have to step in and call you out?

If you don't like the pattern, call out the source. And that source is the right wing troglodytes that shite up this board incessantly with their constant ignorant political commentary and comments.

This is hardly dominating the board and it is appropriate to the topic. Van Gundy is a political operative. It is what he has been doing for years. You can't separate it from his other roles. So it influences people's opinions of him. He hates, ridicules and talks down people like me. So it goes both ways.

Hard to admit. But I'm glad he failed so quickly and spectacularly. Made it easy for us to move on.

I get called the contrarian who loves to debate all time on TD and that's not wrong, but he takes it to heights the likes of which we never see, and couples that with turning it into a fight...every...single...time...

Kind of proving that poster correct here...

Well, clearly its not gonna happen so maybe the best solution is to stop being selectively triggered.

If you are capable of ignoring the Trumper idiocy, try ignoring the lefties that snap back.

I do try to ignore most of it.

However you know exactly what you are doing with your response, just like what would happen on Reddit if Reddit allowed WrongThink.

If you ignore it, then threads don't get derailed and we have a nice time.

If you don't, which you are clearly incapable of for some bizarre reason, then this place sucks.

You can not like it, but that's the way it is. This site allows you to say what you want, so the only thing stopping derailment is self restraint.

If I was an admin, which would never happen in a billion years, I would not allow any political BS in any non-political thread on this board, from either side. Some topics, especially when you have a coach like SVG, its impossible to separate politics.

But I really dislike when actual basketball threads get derailed.

If im not mistaken here, this entire derail happened because three posters were incapable of ignoring WhySoSerious, than several more incapable of just laughing off my rather benign quip about how this board's supposed liberalness is rather absurd(which is being proven correct in real time lol).


There is a lot of "we are big babies that can't control our triggering, and we become bigger babies if you call us out, so you all need to let us have our tantrums in peace" energy going on.

So all this shite you all keep saying cuts both ways, if righties can't control their idiocy, it's not the lefties fault for calling that idiocy out or commentating back

If people don't like that pattern, seems like the obvious solution is to jump on the righties as much as people jump on the lefties when they let their politics spill over. And if a topic like SVG is going to get inherently political, one-side whining about "politics" comes off more like attempted censorship.
