Most of the time it's not what people say. It's how they say it. If you are afflicted with TDS. That bias is going to be obvious to everyone else. Coming to a site/thread that is majority pro Maga and not even attempting to have a good faith argument is a problem.

Dude, when left leaning people here try to have good faith arguments they are quickly met with epithets en masse. Opposing views aren’t tolerated well here. You know it. I know it.

It doesn’t bother me. I expect it. It is what it is.

That's funny that you would say that. My entire family were Democrats up until Obama. When I take a political compass test. I come out more Leftist than Right. Yet, I have no trouble conversing with people here. Yes, I support Trump ( Who used to be a Democrat). Ever considered that the Democrat Party got a little to extreme for the average American?

Maybe there are a lot more people that espouse a conservative, honorable and moral way of life than people expected. Have you ever been banned because of your leanings? That really should be the question .

They absolutely have. They jumped the shark a few years ago. And they don’t seem to have any insight into this.

Absolutely. Although my several year ban was not related to that. In fact, it wasn’t even from stuff on the PT. In the past, I would make my PT points just as loud and boisterous as the Maga crowd does, including name-calling and everything. The message was “flaming“. I’m sure it was. It was flaming a large crowd. However, the mega crowd would also “flame“ but to a much smaller left leaning crowd here. Of course that was several years ago before my longest ever ban. Hopefully things have changed.

Ditto.

I was banned from Reddit when I posted an article about Montrell Jackson, one of the officers killed by the BLM idiot in the mass shooting. I was banned and told my article incited violence due to it being fake news. BLM and their supporters were never responsible for these actions.

Typical left wing fascists, yet we have lefties that cry daily that they get the same treatment on this site lolololol

If there was actually a lefty that could make a good faith argument you would have a point. There is only one poster on this site capable of doing it, and he’s not even a damn progressive. Yes, I’m referring to everyone’s favorite lawyer. The. Only. One. I the history of this site. Every other one has failed spectacularly.

Yeap.

I hate it because they ruined a decent thing. Can’t even go into sports subreddits without the little commies crying.

I got banned from Louisiana and eventually entire Reddit.

They were in there calling everyone Nazis over the book thing. I said people just don’t want porn in the school libraries. Stop being so hysterical with the Nazi shite.

I get a ban and a message from a mod calling be a stupid boomer. The mod is probably my age living in their parents basement.

No you don’t.

Russia.


Or Nazis are fine people. Biden claims that’s why he even ran. Off a left wing lie.


Are you willing to admit both of these were a lie and has divided the country?



Biden fit to be president. He wasn’t, and won the primary. You guys were lying to yourselves.

And there you have it.

Just because you strongly disagree with a person‘s point does not mean it’s not a good faith argument

Absolutely.
When a lot of people here correctly, assume a poster is left leaning, they attribute all leftist beliefs, even the most extreme to that person. That’s not the case with me or even most.

Are you willing to admit that Trump also divides the country?

No, he wasn’t fit. And don’t include me and you guys. It would be the majority of Democrats. Not all.

Yes because you idiots called him a Russian agent and literally Hitler.

You created it.



When someone like Stephen A says he won’t vote for him because he divides opinion. I say, frick that. It’s based off bullshite like he called Nazis fine people.

That’s not a reason to not vote for him. Because other people are pieces of shite and stupid.

Of course you respond with a caveat. I didn’t create it. I wasn’t one who called him a Russian agent or Hitler. I called him very divisive.

That’s the problem with many on the PT.
Attributes of all left-leaning people, especially the most extreme leftists attributed to any poster who disagrees with the Maga crowd. It’s loud and clear.

Did you vote for Trump?

And what I’m saying is t the extreme view. It was said in every news channel except fox. Was written in every major cities paper.

See, you aren’t having an honest conversation. Proving the point.



Joe Biden claimed he ran on the fine people hoax. Are you calling the Democrat president an extremist?


No you don’t want to have an honest discussion.

Have you seen his tweets about people that have absolutely nothing to do with him being called Nazis or anything Russia?
