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 become less of an echo chamber recently which is good

I wonder if the extreme bias of this place affects that in any way.

Yeah, it's bias. Not facts or data or rationality.

Are you claiming bias doesn't exist here?
It'd be fun watching you support such an assertion.

I believe it’s self evident. There are a multitude of excellent Conservative posters who bring facts and data and take on all comers and who can persuade people with the validity of their arguments.
I would be remiss not to mention that you ceded my point by dismissing my argument without valid rebuttal and reflexively pointing in the opposite direction. It’s the very typical deflection that Leftist/ Progressives always do. I think you’d make a much more persuasive argument by telling us who these great Leftist posters are that win rational arguments in the arena of ideas. In my experience, they are almost exclusively shite- stirrers and mindless ideologues.

My assertion is that you're full of shite. I don't think you could name five, and certainly not 100.

I'd only need to do that if it was a point I'd made.

That’s kind of what I’m talking about . Emotional outbursts and argument shifting. That’s all you guys ever have. The totality of Leftist argument is bad faith shite like that. It’s why nobody takes you guys seriously or respects the substance of your arguments.
I do appreciate you ceding the point that there isn’t really a single quality Leftist/ Democrat/ Progressive poster on the PT. Certainly not 5.
Tomorrow, if I have time, I’ll do a thread highlighting the multitude of excellent conservative posters that wipe the floor with the sad sacks that show up here with indefensible talking points that can’t withstand simple honest scrutiny.

Yawn.
Despite your incessant whining, you resort to the same garbage you've been denouncing in the thread.

It's amazing the kind of responses people post when they have nothing of substance to offer

quote:You insinuated that the entire PB is biased towards a political slant. That is demonstrably false. People of all political persuasions are allowed to post. In that sense, no, there is no overarching, systemic bias. Is there a majority? Sure. But that is not a systemic bias against other opinions. Therefore, PB is not an echo chamber.
Are you claiming bias doesn't exist here?
It's amazing people are arguing this facile point.

Look, I’m pretty sure that align politically with 90% of the folks on this board.
If you don’t believe that we’re overwhelmingly conservative here, do a poll. Ask a few questions that collectively can be up or downvoted as an answer.
You’ll find there’s not an ounce of political difference in the vast majority of posters here.

quote:You want me to quote someone who is not a conservative who has made a post on the PB? I know you can find that on your own but let me know if you really actually need someone to cite that for you to prove the PB is not an echo chamber. We can start with HailHailtoMichigan, cwill, Celtic, texridder, Hank, etc.

This is just another one of those threads that proves the lengths that people will go to, the unbelievable levels of obfuscation they will indulge in, to avoid admitting they are wrong. It is a demonstrable fact that the PB is not an echo chamber.
Do you want me to cite the Oxford dictionary definition for echo chamber to help you?

quote:That's not what an echo chamber is. A majority does not constitute an echo chamber. Dissenting voices are allowed. You say 90% but do you believe that's because the mods are preventing any diversity? If so, let's see the proof. Even if they're only allowing 10% diversity, that's still not an echo chamber.

Not only are dissenting voices allowed, but this board acts like an aggregator meaning information from various political dispositions are frequently engaged here. Even if no dissenting voices were allowed, that fact alone makes PB not an echo chamber.
