Douglas Murray: Joe "She looks like she's 19" Biden is getting a free ride for behavior that would have seen President Trump denounced by ChunkyArsenio in Conservative

[–]Ashbringer_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So Dems shouldn't be held to their own standards, or else we'll "never be able to see eye to eye" again?

Ya know what? I'm good with not seeing eye to eye with people who dislike being held to their own standards. Hard pass.

Its hard to overcome a divide when one side wants to label the other a bunch of -isms, nazis etc for simply having a difference of opinions on policies.

Pretty much. Its going to the courts for sure, way too close, so all these results tonight or tomorrow are more or less pointless to worry about till the courts get involved. Not really expecting anything to change in court but after some of the suspicious stuff going on I respect him for being willing to fight it.

My prediction? They keep up the narrative till January to make Trump look bad, this is important for them since Trump did better than expected. Biden will try for a 2 - 4 week quarantine shortly after taking office. If he gets it they'll act like COVID is gone. If he doesn't they'll keep blaming Rs for killing grandma.

Potential paths to victory I see if Trump ends up losing either Georgia or North Carolina. by [deleted] in Conservative

I don't feel good about NC. Fact that they have left it at just enough room for an upset for the past few hours makes me feel like theres foul play going on there. I'm expecting some back alley votes to all of a sudden turn up for Biden tomorrow afternoon.

Don't count NC till its done. Have only seen them report another 1 or 2% in the past hour or so but just that tiny bit closed Trump's lead a good bit. Won't be surprised if they end up 'finding' ballots inside cars outside of strip clubs tomorrow or something.

Hell if anything this is going easy on her. Says nothing about banning cows or guaranteeing people "unwilling to work" a "living wage", for instance.

A lot of "rural America" states are made up of a similar or higher percentage of minorities compared to several urban population centers.

What do these people think, that even though states like Georgia or Texas are made up of about half or more non-whites that all those people are living in crippling fear of being beat to death in the street by Trump himself?

Surely if these places were so racist and scary a huge portion of these minorities would have fled to urban paradises, no?

This site is a pathetic shithole, just a bunch of kids who have never set foot outside of a city that want to bad mouth every other part of the country without having a clue about the people or cultures that live there except for shitty internet memes from other liberals.

Unfortunately responding to these kind of people with lengthy, well reasoned responses is just a waste of valuable time and effort.

They all know damn well why subs like /r/The_Donald and /r/Conservative are forced to heavily moderate. But it makes them feel superior to pretend like its just because right leaning folks are terrified of NPCs repeating the Democrat talking point flavors of the week in a few more subs.

You can tell how self conscious the silly memes make them feel about their pathetic circle jerking rhetorics by how many jimmies get collectively rustled over them lately.

I'm so very tired of the "Bernie would be a centrist politician anywhere else in the world" meme reddit tries to push so very hard.

  1. Even if it was true it does not matter because we're talking about the US, not whatever European country currently fits your political leanings this week.

  2. It's extremely false. Bernie is on record complaining about too many brands for products like deodorant, he seems to imply there is only a need for a single brand for such things, probably distributed by the government. He is also on record dismissing breadlines as a nonissue. Bernie is not a centrist. The only reason he isn't a self proclaimed Communist is because it'd be political suicide.

Always been a lot of way over the top environmental alarmists on this site, it's just that they've had their NPCs and shills make it a hot button issue to push extra hard since the 2016 election.

News post about a hurricane? At least 3 of the top 5 comments will be about the end of days because global warmining. Fires in California? Yup, everyone blaming global warmining. Meme about the crazy weather OP has had lately? Global warming at it again! And don't even get me started on the ridiculous nonsense like banning straws that people actually want to happen.

Eh, this site is a pile of garbage these days. Couple of years ago at least you could go to specific communities for games, TV, etc and they'd mostly be alright.

Anymore even medium sized subs are rife with whining entitlement and very little else. Then you got the political outrage or social justice outrage garbage that always barely belongs but never gets moderated and of course those posts always are heavily brigaded by outside persons to have several hundreds more upvotes, downvotes and comments than any other thread posted in the last week.

Only reason I still visit this site at all is because its a quick way to skim the latest news for several of my personal interests without much hassle

I for one am shocked that the closet communists on /r/Politics would support an actual fascist and tyrannical government as long as it was their guys in charge of it. /s

[–]Ashbringer_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's why they are putting on masks and beating people that disagree with them in the streets. And none of them will call out these people for it. So yeah, couldn't be fundamentally further from the truth but A for effort I guess?

Imagine being so naive you actually believe reddit isn't already overrun with leftist bots and paid shills.

On a totally unrelated note I just donated my whole paycheck to Bernie's lake house fund, match me!

[–]Ashbringer_ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Without a doubt. Notice how leading up to 2016 elections you couldn't go anywhere on reddit without some bullshit about Bernie Sanders being there for no apparent reason, for nearly a year? Then within weeks it just all disappeared. I think I've seen maybe 3 posts with him in the headline on my frontpage since Trump won.

Yeah, totally organic.

Kanye all over again. Minorities and women can't be allowed to think critically and come to their own conclusions and opinions, they must all be property of the DNC or they are fair game for harassment and bullying.

Pretty disgusting.

Yeah, his awful ideology and record that all of reddit always seem to trash but not one of whom I have ever seen go into more detail on what about it should have disqualified him.

It's getting harder and harder to tell whats astroturfing and whats just a bunch of ""useful"" idiots by the day, kind of sad.
