Prove that dissenting voices are silenced

Otherwise, you can stop making this stupid statement. We hear your emotional screeching. We just don't agree and we have rational reasons.

It’s a lazy argument.

It used to be a Trump fan echo chamber. Now there are factions that don't support Trump. It's still solidly conservative and very anti Biden which is fine. It's become less of an echo chamber recently which is good

It was never an echo chamber. There's never been a time when non conservative voices were silenced and I invite you to prove otherwise.

As if DU isn’t an echo chamber or CNN, MSNBC, and all other msm.

How many people were banned, or at least warned by mods not post in the Q thread for questioning them? Its at least one.

Uh we have split GOP camps here. And several dirty progs for good measure to laugh at.

How dumb must one be to make that claim? Good lord.

An echo chamber is more about general diversity of opinion than censorship. You can force it but it doesn't have to be forced.

PLENTY of people can attest that DU squelches dissenting voices. However I see dissenting voices post here all day every day.

The idea that PB is an echo chamber has always been stupid and I invite anyone to prove otherwise.

That has nothing to do with the fact that there are people of all political stripes who post here constantly. If PB was an echo chamber, that would not be allowed.

People aren’t silenced here. That’s bullshite. However, there can be a bit of a “mob” response if you do say something not pro-Trump that often includes more ad-hominem attacks than fact based refutations. Any honest broker here should be willing to concede that. Not everyone is like that of course. As a staunch conservative who is hoping I’ll be voting for someone other than trump in the general election next year, it can be frustrating to post something hoping for a rational discussion.

I fully admit to being part of that mob in the past and hurling some names at those I consider to be blindly pro-trump this go round.

But never have I felt “silenced” here

Oh it's been made tonight in another thread. I see it all the time and these knuckleheads don't realize that by complaining it's an echo chamber, they are proving it's not an echo chamber. So, pretty dumb apparently

No, it's about censorship because otherwise, it's not an echo chamber. I see, even tonight, people of different political stripes posting which proves it's not an echo chamber.

It doesn't matter. If there are no dissenting voices, it's an echo chamber. This board is not that.

The PB is an echo chamber. Every thread on the front page is a right wing thread besides the one thread about people working from home. Anyone who disagrees with a right wing point of view is called a filthy prog or groomer or sky screamer. The only diversity is Ronbots vs. Trump cultist.

Man made climate change is real.

The government shouldn’t get involved in decisions between parents and kids that don’t involve criminal behavior.

Maybe the mods and admins didn't ban everybody with common sense or conservative view point...

It doesn't matter if they're silenced. They're in the extreme minority.
