Let me be clear. This post is merely to talk about changing board dynamics. NOT in a negative but simply matter of fact light

Liberals on this board constantly mention how this board is overwhelmingly conservative.

But in terms of numbers, is that even really true anymore?

There have been literally dozens of recent arrivals to this board that are clearly anti conservative.

On some days, the number of different liberal handles posting rivals the number of conservative ones.

Surely my liberal board mates who cry about the overwhelming conservatism can count too and yet the myth of no liberals on this board remains.

Are our liberals simply acknowledging that these many new handles aren't actually new people?

I mean. I like a diverse board. But, the rhetoric seems in conflict with observation

A less monolithic board is a GOOD thing

Are you asking for a role call?

The problem, is that anytime there is a new allegation against Trump, the libtards swarm this board thinking they finally "got em". See the Flynn threads last week. Then, shortly thereafter, once the facts come out, and the stories are deconstructed, the leftist narrative gets dumped on their heads, and they are beaten back down into their holes.

It's not our fault the left is so easily triggered by Trump. They just can't help themselves. So when they are in their hibernation period, random strays will venture off to the OT and say this board is full of conservatives that shut down dissenting views and they accuse the moderators of doing the same. In reality, they just suck at debating politics.

BugAC nailed it. Friday morning was crazy with new posters and people dropping in from other boards. But as soon as the retraction/correction came out

Progressives have flooded the board . Their arguments are so flaccid that it barely registers though . On those rare occasions when a Progressive demonstrates that he can think, it is rather shocking, and stands out. Which is almost never.

I dont think there are that many conservatives on this board, but i think it is overwhelmingly right leaning.

Yeah, it depends on the day. You have your regular libs like Toddy who's post timing is impeccable in terms of DNC talking points being releases and you also have the regular WaPo/NYTs want brigade. What skews the post liberal on this board is when the ShriaBlue alters show up every once and awhile.

This means they're here. Lack of routine posting is on them

Simple counting appears to refute this

Actually think this board is pretty diverse (at least relative to what it was).

You have:
1. Liberals/progressives/leftists whatever
2. conservatives who back trump
3. conservatives who didn't back trump (but can still enjoy his trolling of liberals)
4. libertarians who never really supported either party

I think #2 is the largest group, but hardly a majority.

5. Libertarian leaning conservatives that voted for Trump because he wasn't Hillary
