I hear DU is a bastion of free thought and inclusiveness. They welcome all of mother erfs chirrins.

Meh.

I have big boy britches.

Unlike the whiners in here, I actually don't mind being in a room as the minority.

But, I've tried. You can't even survive the boards.

Basically, try to imagine the most middle of the road poster we have? Who is it?

That dude is getting banned at every liberal board I've ever tried.
You're probably right - TDroppings is the only site I actually have an account on

For what purpose? Are you looking for honest give and take? Are you looking to convert people? Do you want to pull a "Tucker Carlson" and kill them with common sense? Or do you just want to troll?

I'm just curious.

I'd love for some DU kids to come sign up here. Would be quite entertaining since we can't go there.

R/politics?

Downvoted to oblivion and not allowed to post too frequently and never allowed to start threads.

The propagandists are in full control

You have 2 effective strategies as someone wanting to spread the conservative word.

1- post level headed conservative views and counter points on public forum ( i do celebrities facebook posts, random news articles that allow comments)

The object isn't necessarily to reach people with your comment, it's to get 50 replies form hateful liberals spewing shite at you for having a rational thought of your own. people see the retards being retards, and side with you because they don't want to be a retard, too.


2- pretend to be a far left whacko, post some of the outrageous shite some of them believe in hopes of deterring people form being like them.


If the goal is the conversion of on the fence, people new to politics, or moderate liberal readers, you must refrain from name calling or saying stereotypical things i.e.: frickin mexicans, build the wall! or things that will steer warm hearted folks away for being a meany head.

state the facts, explain them, use examples. stand back and watch.

My favorite is doing global chats on multiplayer games with large player bases. get the convo going, watch the sky screamers REEEE!

I have top comments on some Dave chapelle posts for calling out race baiters and pointing out how his comedy brings people closer together, as well as Lady Gagas from when she was promoting trans in the military.

I go over to DU every once in a while just to read the general discussion. They are so emotional; they all sound like hysterical women. (Not meaning to be disrespectful to women)
Actually, it would be the best thing for them. I think they would be surprised that conservatives are normal, articulate people who just think differently than them.

Have you ventured to the Saintsreport.com political board?

It’s roughly 10 dems circle jerking each other off of appeals to emotion.

So a slightly lower ratio than this place.... Just with the party's flipped.

This is the only political board that I post

I'm sure there are other regional boards like this one out there that we just don't know about

Is this place as bad as DU? Of course not. But DU advertises it's biases.

This place just advertises as a "political board", but the moderation is obviously heavily one sided.

Not sure what point y'all are trying to make with these threads

FWIW I'm a member of both DU and Free Republic. I've never been banned from either.

Why dont you just go to one of those antifa rallies. They are anti-facist. Surely they hold free speech and anti-repression to high standards.

Fark.com

If you keep the same handle and I see it, I'll sponsor you a month of totalFark. You might want to risk the 5 bucks for a month yourself; moderators who choose the threads to greenlight are kind of variable in their tastes, but with totalFark you'll see everything, horrific as it sometimes is.

Shitposters there get pissed on, but if you aren't deliberately trying to just fling feces you'll be welcome, and argued with.

I have a friend who's a very, very far left progressive. Wiccan, drum circles, environmentalist, the whole nine yards.

Even she says the DU is full of bat shite crazy people.

Just one where I can openly and routinely post as a conservative with ideas contradictory to the orthodoxy of that board.

One where if I do so, I can expect to last more than 2 weeks on the board.

Link must be to a board that actually has a number of users.

Don't link me to some blog with 5 members.

I mentioned the word "moderated" in my thread title.

Apparently that wasn't enough.

I'm looking for a board that is as openly liberal leaning as this one is conservative where one can actually POST as a conservative and remain.

I'm not a liberal, but here are two messageboards I sometimes frequent that lean liberal.

LINK

On Redszone, you have to get permission from a moderator to post in the political forum.

LINK

On Typology, I don't recall needing to get any permission

Both boards are relatively strictly moderated, compared to most of the internet, but I think they are moderated fairly. Mods step in when personal attacks get out of hand (threats, not even bothering to address the topic, etc), but otherwise tend to let things go.

Some interesting choices in this thread

Will have to check them out

Anyone else find it odd how high a percentage of boards mentioned are sports boards?

Is that just self selection bias
