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.


I might also point out, that the places on the other side of the aisle do not allow discourse. If you were to post conservative opinions there you would be banned. THAT is an Echo Chamber.

Here conservative voices are the majority, but we all welcome libs to post. We want discourse and debate. They do not.

It seems you are hearing just one side.

Have you seen the analysis of these polls you are referring to? The ones that skew so heavy to Dems that there is no way they could be correct?

The echo chamber is the mainstream media.

Step out and research some things yourself. It will be interesting what you find. if you are open and honest with yourself.

We were called an "echo chamber" in 2016 as well.

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

There are plenty of Trump voters here who are unsure about the outcome.

If one is exposed, ever, to the nightly news, twitter or Facebook it is impossible to get only the conservative side of the story. You’d have to restrict yourself to a handful of websites and purposefully avoid mainstream media, which is all but impossible. It’s much, much easier to live in an echo chamber if you’re a liberal.

I would say most are not concerned by Trump losing other than by corruption at this point. There has never been the excitement of a Presidential campaign like this in my lifetime..... I don't think its even close.

I hear one side of the story every day. Flip on the radio, check Facebook or Twitter, hell, local news is getting in on the action... The country's media apparatuses have turned the whole damn thing into a liberal echo chamber. It's getting to the point of pure nausea. Turn on a music station and between songs DJs are vomiting liberal talking points. Try to watch any TV series made in the last decade and it's the same. God forbid you even try to counter their trash on a site like Twitter.
