Never been on this board, scrolled through a bit today and it’s clear that the great majority of you guys are trump supporters.

Seems like most national polls have Biden but everyone here seems like the election is already decided.

Just wondering if you guys are worried about only hearing one side of the story.

Seems like msm has only one story.

Your concerning concern is noted.

Is CNN your “other side” of the story? No thanks

No, I’m mostly looking at early voting data and other statistical projections, I’ve never watched CNN or been on their website.

Seriously. How out of touch and dumb do you have to be to believe anything coming from the media?

Just because we post here, why do you assume we don’t read news elsewhere. Foolish assumption

I'm a R who voted for Trump, but I can agree with you that this is indeed an echo chamber. Sometimes it's nice to be around people that think similarly.

What matters is taking a chance and dipping into other types of echo chambers to challenge your views occasionally.

I was referencing this board alone, I assumed everyone gets their news from their own sources (which can also be echo chambers on both sides).

Guys, I’m not attacking you at all, it was a question. Doesn’t sound like you guys are worried about it either based on the responses.

Thank you for an actual response to the question.

Honest question...if nearly all news outlets and entertainment skew left, and they do, why do people assume that if you post on an echo chamber (this place is) you don;t see what the rest of the world is saying?

Would the reverse not be more interesting...living n an echo chamber created by legacy media and the entertainment industry and having no idea what the other side thinks because it has not outlet?

Why aren’t you hiding under your bed in a hazmat suit? That’s what your candidate is doing.

Haven’t you heard that COVID is exponentially worse than it was even yesterday and voting in person, especially if you’re a Trump voter, will be the same as certain death due to the spread of infection?

I learned all this from your sources of ‘information’...

I know this isn’t going to be well received but we are slowly becoming Democratic Underground. I know we allow people to post what they want but when they do they are met with replies like above. I know we’ve had a large influx of bots and what not but I don’t want to see us outright ignore conversations and debates just because someone doesn’t see our viewpoints.

We can still be MAGA and explain to those who don’t agree why we are.

The grass roots efforts in support of Trump are real and they're big. The MSM obfuscation is all Biden has.

I'm much more like to do that when they've had an account for longer than I've had a gallon of milk.
