the echoes of “cuck”. and “groomer” directed to any mildly dissenting voice suggest the traits of an echo chamber as well as a diminished vocabulary.


Just because many on this board do not like your opinions does not mean you are not allowed to post here. Echo chambers do not allow alternative view points.

Most liberals don't post here because they get eaten alive in the arena of ideas


Well, their ideas are generally built on a foundation of sand. My suggestion is get better ideas.

Congratulations. Your very presence here proves the inaccuracy of your claim.

I love it when the jokes write themselves.

Need more proof? Look at your upvotes/downvote totals as well as those of the OP. If you want to see a real echo chamber, take a visit to DU or Reddit, where our most liberal posters caught the axe within days for not being progressive enough.

I’d love to. I have attempted to many times. But I’m too old and too busy to spend my time being called groomer, pedo, libtard, etc. by anyone. And if you’re being honest, that’s exactly what happens on this forum.

Being downvoted and kicked off a message board are clearly 2 different things. You can get downvoted to hell on the football and recruiting board if you criticize a LSU coach, player or recruit. But unless you just become belligerent I doubt you will be banned.
My presumption would be on this board if your criticize Trump you will be downvoted, if you use non-PC terms for queers you may get a warning? But only 1 group/subject is off-limits for criticism. And that’s the same for any social media site.

Because if they don't they're pedophiles, right? Or is that just what you call them before trying to 'engage in discussion on their policies'?

Easily the greatest and most productive political discussion board on the World Wide Web.

Everyone has a voice here no matter how wrong they may be. (SFP for example).

If this place operated like Reddit, SFP’s karma would be so low, he would only have 20k posts.

Everyone should take time to extend a special thank you to Chicken & his brother for providing this great forum as well as building the greatest admin group on the internet.

You actually engaged, and spoke about your policy beliefs today. No one treated you that way.

I've been to Reddit. It is exactly the opposite. On this board, most posters relentlessly attack and name call normal republicans with slightly different opinions.

Find a post of me calling anyone that, or even using that term once, Friend.

I've never been to Reddit. Are you suggesting that Republican/conservative points of view are encouraged in the political threads there?

Have you considered not supporting groomer and pedo policies?

Why? I don’t want to hear a bunch of people denying the truth.



Please lord I hope they don’t do that.

I was kinda hoping you guys would declare such behavior bad. I have faith you all will come to your senses.

The admins aren't very intrusive to my knowledge. I'd say a decent percentage of the rank and file here would happily drum some folks out of here

FYI, Reddit is cesspool for political discussion with anyone with views other than socialist orthodoxy. Here, I'm referring to all the name calling from republicans towards republicans with a slightly different view point. I guess you just have never observed that.

I'm open to whether it's a true echo chamber or not

But a 20-25% viewpoint in the US is the viewpoint of 90% of this board. So it may not be an echo chamber, but a minority position has a complete stranglehold.

That sounds a little farfetched, but I am totally new here, so what would I know.
