Pitting Uzi's useless claim about the SDMB being an echo chamber

Yeah it really kinda is link/cite-time now. I’d like to see what you define as an attack. Just scroll down your post history - I’m sure you’ll find something juicy.

would this be veering into ATMB territory?.

What makes the Dope interesting is that even though it rigorously adheres to reality-based mindsets, discussion of any actual subject results in 50 different understandings/policies/beliefs/perspectives/futures that are so distinct from one another that long battles inevitably follow.

I know that “echo chamber” has lost any meaning and has become a mere slur to slap an enemy across the face with, but intellectually the Dope is more a cacophony of reactions to headlines than a consistent political devotee of any brand of leftism.

That’s both the best and worst thing about the left.

What I want to know is, where/how are we meeting to determine what leftist stance we’re supposed to take? I haven’t gotten any notifications and I feel left out. :frowning:

It was in the letter we got along with the check from George Soros.

I got my payment from Soros in the secret leftist cryptocurrency called Wokecoin.

Loose lips sink ships!

Oh boy Where are the conspiracy nutters when foreign-born Musk bought a massive social media platform and nakedly worked it to influence the public US political sphere? Elmo went as far as to campaign and work with the US government for his own monetary benefit.

This man fits (to a goddamned fucking tee!) all of the insane wacked out conspiracy garbage they have been spitting about Soros for the last 30 years. But hey, Musk is a sieg-heiling fash so he gets a pass.

Every accusation from the right is a confession.

I’ve also been saying for years that the vast majority of the “we need guns to protect us from a tyrannical government” crowd would happily salute and hold the door open as fascism marched into America as long as they got to keep their guns. I regret nailing that one.

…With a nail gun?

Really got to drop this phrase, because the Right doesn’t give a flying fuck about hypocrisy. It isn’t wrong if we do it-it is wrong if we do it.

At this point it’s practically meta: “It’s not hypocrisy if we do it.”

I’d be interested in getting an example of a poster who fits this description. Can you provide an example of a poster who is an open supporter of the Republican party who is tolerated by the majority of the posters here?

Are “conservative” and “open supporter of the Republican Party” remotely related anymore?

Not at all. But there has to be a word that’s usable in polite company.

only under the most tortured definition of “conservative”. I would consider myself the former but definitely not a supporter of the modern Republican party, either openly or clandestinely.

I don’t think I can think of anyone who is an open supporter of the Republican Party but isn’t literally trolling the board in the process.

I can’t give you an example, not because the board hounds them away, but because if they come here it’s never to have any legitimate discussions.

I think that says more about the Republican Party than this board.

…Maybe Octopus? People don’t care for him for the most part, because around the time Trump was first elected he started getting trollsome, but outside of political discussions he actually can be pretty pleasant and even thoughtful. Personally, I kind of like him to be honest.

And even Octopus isn’t totally supportive of the Republicans. His very last post (from a couple of weeks ago) was to criticize Trump and the Republicans for trying to start up shit with Canada.

Can you show us how to support Trump without being an asshole and/or a liar?

why me? I have no inclination to do so. I don’t really understand the question though. I don’t see the need to lie to be a supporter of Trump. You would need to believe lies of course, but that is a different matter.

Thank you for, in your own way, answering the question.

So, I guess we’re not gonna get those cites and I can stop holding my breath?
