2018 Midterm Election Thread

I can go with that, though I think there is a kernal of truth that keeps the myth alive.

J

Like the myth of Obama being Kenyan? Like the myth of Hillary and George Soros secretly running a global pedophilia ring?

[nullnor]

or when Hillary Clinton was a student at Wellesley college, classmates traveled to NYC and were zombie extras in Michael Jackson's Thriller music video. Bill Clinton wasn't allowed to be an extra because the night before the actors guild caught him smoking but lying and saying he didn't inhale.

oh..i made that up. heh... 'Cause this is thriller, Thriller night..!

I think you're fucking despicable for using such garbage.

smh...and you wonder why people think you need to relax. Disagree with people, but stop with the ad hominem attacks.

[Fresno Bob]

I waiting for one of you to bust out the Protocols of the Elders of Zion next. I'm both appalled and intrigued by the level of stupidity I see on this board, which is really the only place I encounter it other than when our president speaks. I guess I'm lucky that I don't run into it in my daily life, but I credit the general level of intelligence and success of my friends for that.

If you think using Project Veritas, the source that lead to the murder of 12 people, isnt absolutely fucking despicable, I cannot help you.

I equate posting Project Veritas to posting about Sandy Hook being a false flag. If you dont see it as a big deal, that's just a difference of opinion. I'll call scumbags as I see them, thanks.

I think the inability to see the world through the perception of others is one of our worst issues right now. It's disappointing when people see a differing opinion and call it "stupidity" rather than realizing that we aren't all the same, we all come from different backgrounds and different life experiences, and that it's valid to have a differing opinion. There's extremely intelligent individuals on every side of the aisle.

If you really find those that you are conversing with here as stupid, why bother participating? Maybe this isn't the place for you. Something to consider.

Gross.

That's troll behavior. If you want to have a fight and call names like a petty child, take it to PMs. No one wants to see that garbage, it's a waste of everyone's time while you grandstand.

More than anything, this speaks really negatively towards your character which I don't think is indicative of how you really are. There's no need for the childish banter, be better.

What was that you were saying about grandstanding?

B-Fly called the article bullshit and I called 1J despicable for posting it. I've been crystal clear in my opinion, so let's move on.

meanwhile, the "Off-Topics" thread at baseballthinkfactory.org got shut down this week after many years.

turns out that a few posters were so angry and hostile over political differences that the host decided it wasn't worth his while to keep the thread going.

interesting.

I went to a political meetup recently, and ended up having half of the runtime taken up by a guy talking in my group talking to me about flat earth theory. This hardcore lefty... is a fucking moron. It was incredibly disappointing, but it is what it is. I have no respect for idiocy, regardless of background or political affiliation.

There was a dude that came on here and posted a ton leading up to the election and than totally disappeared right after that totally did bust out the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. I had to dig a bit to get him to admit his sources, but he did. He was a big Trump guy. He seemed to be devoted to getting converts, but didn't stick around after Trump won.

Even as she ends her campaign, Stacy Abrams does not go quietly into the night...

"To watch an elected official who claims to represent the people in this state baldly pin his hopes for election on the suppression of the people’s democratic right to vote has been truly appalling. So let’s be clear: This is not a speech of concession."

again, one of the main reasons I've stuck here is because I get to hear opinions so far off of what I deem "normal human discord". My peer group is smart and successful and broad and diverse. I view the Sports Bar in someways as a freakshow of biblical literalism, racial intolerance, selfish conservatism,antiscience, immigrant fearmongering, and furious Trumpitude that I am seriously not exposed to on a regular basis. I think that staring into the abyss, seeing the monsters, and smelling the fear to be something positive

Did you mean to post this in the "Democratic Party 2017 and beyond" thread?

dude, I actually truely feel bad for you, you are like a sad character in a russian novel that I can't stop reading if only to make myself feel better about not being you. You'd be funnier if you weren't such a tragic selfish virgin
