Well, I kind of und….not really, it is because you are limp wristed **** who doesn’t give a frick about anything other than your own personal instant gratification. There are a bunch of people like you out there. Major part of the problem. GFY

Had never heard of him. Got ripped for not knowing who he was on TD. I don’t spend any time on Meta, IG, X or any other informational media except TD, and even then it is not on the poli board or soccer board. I am very familiar with those platforms but only for investing purposes.

I likely agree with some of his positions, but I have no desire to spend time on the conservative v. liberal online battles. Nothing wrong with so many on this board that do. It’s how they want to spend their time and that is great. I was consumed with those battles 15-21 years ago and was a worse person for it (judgmental and angry about people I had never met who had no impact on my life other then when I heard about them on talk radio or cable news).

I donate relatively large sums to PACs but otherwise do not engage. It’s the only way I can have any impact as a practical matter. Informational media wars have zero impact on changing opinions and minimal impact how anyone else votes. And they have a massive impact on me by what I would consider to be wasting time on something that makes me angry when I would not have otherwise known about it except for my own action of logging into those platforms.

Confession over.

I had never heard of Charlie Kirk until yesterday.

Put me in that number. I usually remember people with 2 first names, too.

Independent, objective and critical thinking is what I aspire to be. That ain’t allowed in the commercial political machine so I pass.

Heard the name and knew he was conservative social media type. Never watched any of his stuff until the shooting. I’ve watched alot of uninterrupted debates since the shooting to at least attempt to understand this news cycle. My takes


Not nearly as radical or straight crazy as some on the left are portraying.

Typical MAGA talking points and religious views. No new ground or real original thoughts. I’ve heard it all before from different sources.

I appreciate how he is able to remain calm, not get flustered and never insulted those who disagree with him or name call. Never in the clips I’ve seen does he seem to have malice in his heart.

At first I thought the platform of open debates were refreshing, but then realized he seems to only do that with teenagers. Would be more interested if he debated people who knew what the frick they were talking about.

Forget yesterday, how did you not hear about him two days ago?

I had heard his name but didn’t know who he was. Don’t watch news on TV and don’t have social media.

I knew of Charlie, seen a few clips of him. I normally dont watch opinion journalists or influencers.

Charlie was pretty mild. Hard to understand someone targeting him.

I wish a leftist would put together his most “hateful” clips so I could judge. So far he seems to be a fairly straightforward dude.

I saw such a YouTube video about an hour ago. I can tell you for certain that a lot of what he said on the video was taken out of context.

I'd heard of him. Probably would've guessed he was a conservative influencer.

Would not of been able to tell you any of his viewpoints

Would not of been able to say if he was 20 or 60

Sure wouldn't of been able to pick him out of a lineup



But I don't enjoy any political commentary by any politicians or influencers. Almost as bad as sports radio or morning radio show.

Turning point and his team had done so much research and had so many boots on the ground in places, they were way ahead of projecting wins in certain locations.

This is also pure proof that Kari Lake was robbed twice in Arizona along with Trump winning AZ in 2020. They had the data and the results didn't match the data.
