Left Leaning Titles in the Politics Forum (1 Viewer)

Just from the first page...

"The North Korea Thread:  Trump has completely Blown this"

"....Barr Completely Lied About it"

"The Trump Years:  Every Day Something More Shocking than the Last"

"Fox News Cracks Me Up"

Are these the types of titles that are conducive to constructive conversation?   Further, why are a disproportionate number of the thread titles obviously left leaning?  Is this a left of center forum so it's accepted?

I'll hang up and listen.

The Russia thread and tax thread are the best.  They post falsehoods in the titles with regularity and the echo chamber laps it up.

Should I be surprised it's allowed or is this par for the course around these parts?  I haven't really used this particular forum much but am pretty surprised how left-leaning it is.

Par for the course around here.  Right leaning topics get locked.

Those titles are true. 

Do they break any rules?  Why would they not be allowed? 

 

[KCitons]

You CAN find another message board if you feel that this one leans too far left for you.

This post sounds like a confirmation of the OP. 

/thread.

The first one of those, about North Korea, is mine. I also started a thread today which attempts to give Trump credit for the strong economy. 

You can disagree with my POV but I don’t think I’ve been unfair at all.

The board isn't left leaning. Its anti-Trump. 

Rinse. Repeat.

Is this thread for real?

Because moderation is also slanted the same way.....remember when there was a “Trump Supporters” thread that was nuked because....well you just can’t have that in the echo chamber. Have to keep it negative.

What kind of crap is this? How do you explain the thread I started this morning?

Thought he said he was leaving when Russia!@* didn’t go his way....that didn’t last long.

I have no idea what happened in that thread, but I do not believe you.

I am confident saying it was not nuked because it was a pro-Trump thread.

So what’s your ratio now, 6,429/1? Congrats?

Really? I admit to not liking Trump, that’s no secret, but do you honestly believe I’ve been unfair to him?

You mean the thread that complained about not being able to call people deranged despite being warned not to do that many times?

Slanted moderation.

Honest answer.....not close to the extent of the regulars in the echo chamber but you will get on a roll in that direction many times but do reign it in at times like the one thread you mentioned. 

Trip seemed to ask a genuine question and I gave the honest answer. @TripItUp you will see now how all the regulars try to pile on with the usual bs if you don’t echo the same old same old.

Come on

:IBTL:

Agreed, not enough hysterics and uncontrollable ranting from the left in this one....lock it up. 

Wait I thought you didn’t post anymore? How many days did that last?

 

[HellToupee]

Absolutely no doubt it will be 

they know why

Wrong thread, chief.  

 

[HellToupee]

Oh no no no , you can’t post that , it’s outrageous. It’s an outrage. Oh no no, you must pontificate  

 

[zoonation]

This is so stupid.  Can’t we just discuss real ####?

 

[John Blutarsky]

Wrong thread, chief.  

shocking

Bucky would tell you to find another thread if this one isn't for you.

Anti-Trump not necessarily = left. Thanks.

When will conservatives finally  get a fair shake in America?

Don’t worry, this small little crevice of cyber space is where you can get back at them with continuous one sided ranting, reporting, and locking their thread.

Thank goodness the PSF does not represent America or we would be Venezuela right now.

“I’m anti Trump not Left” is the new version of the Gary Johnson voter schtick.

A previous version of McJose was moving to Canada back in 2016.  Guess he realized it ain't so great up there after all

This thread is straight outta chapter 1.

If by new you mean since the escalator ride then yeah, that's me.

Are you the anti-vaxxer?

I spaced them out with my kids.  Deal with it

Good luck with this.

You're right.  You didn't nor should you.  

 

[jonessed]

Tim and Squiston race to create topics so the can change the title.  I actually think the titles should just be frozen once created, but that’s the way it is.

You think I have the ability to lock threads?

Wait, we have those 'round these parts?

 

[lazyike]

Anti-Trump not necessarily = left. Thanks.

Trump positions on protectionist trade policies, attempting to pull out of Syria and Afghanistan too soon, not dealing with the national debt or deficit spending is what I consider to be left leaning. The only reason that many Republican leaders support Trump is because they lost their spine.

This is not true.

You're wrecked.

 

[Osaurus]

You’ve completely ignored all the right leaning thread titles in the DFS forum 

 

[supermike80]

This doesn't make sense.  Of course the board is dominated by ledr leaning rhereads.  This is a left leaning bored.  Dont go to a Fleetwood mac concert and expect to see ac/dc

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Further, why are a disproportionate number of the thread titles obviously left leaning?  

Amigo: i can understand why Trump supporters left after the Flame Wars, but it’s senseless to claim dignity in leaving *and demand equal tone in content. Either participate and balance out content or don’t.

 

[That one guy]

I’d personally like more policy/legislation specific threads.  I do not know what the Rs are currently pushing forth in Congress, haven’t seen anything on that front in a while.  But, in general, I think talking actual legislative language and it’s application in the real world is more productive than “Rs are nationalists” and “Ds are socialists”

 

[The Z Machine]

Thank goodness the PSF does not represent America or we would be Venezuela right now.

So Trump would turn his back on this country too, so he could lick the boots of an autocratic leader of a country historically aligned against the interests of the US?
