    sorry you will have to hire help. Maybe wizen can help you. He is so good at thoroughly investigating prior to assuming and dismissing.

    He seems to be training you well to follow in those footsteps too. ;)

    If he loses both Texas and Florida this election goes down as the worst landslide in the history of politics. And that is pretty tough with how badly Reagan beat Carter.

    Sorry, but I do my own thinking although I do accept the rare valuable tip.
    I can see we are at a dead end so I'm going to bow out.

    i already assumed you bowed out when you said your not watching the video. From then on i didn't take a thing you posted seriously on the subject.

    but you may join the crickets, while falsely claiming wizen wanted some rational conversation, of which i proved he didnt , or he would have had a response to chris’s poll post and tortured explanation of the video.


    i think there is a beach somewhere with a bunch of heads in the sand.

    im sure its a fake news post falsely claming the white house did it.

    Its just a big game im sick of.
    People cNt live honestly. Cant be truthful?

    got no room in my life for those kind.

    again what you think you see is innacurate.
    Just because a person claims bullshit doesnt mean he is angry about it. ;)

    but nice try at changing the subject because you and Wizen were judging without educating yourself on the video.
    If that's making you angry then that's on you.
    Im just keeping it real.
    Dont mistake that for anger.

    I did not see that finally, somebody posted the poll. That's all I was asking. I notice that it wasn't you though

    looking at the poll, I have several criticisms

    the main one being that there is no definition of "progressive activists" or "conservative activists". I think that renders the poll close to useless. I'd say there's a huge conflation problem. How many people saying that progressive activists will be violent are thinking of antifa as progressive activists? I consider BLM a progressive activist group. Antifa is not...they are a radical left group prone to lawlessness. But after 2 months of protests with sensationalized coverage by right wing media, of course there's going to be conflation. The percentages in that poll would likely have been reversed if it was taken after Charlottesville.

    but more than that, what does a poll like that prove? Does is prove anything real about progressive activism, or does it just prove that polling sentiment will shift with recent news

    if some asshole antifa fool shoots a bottle rocket at a courthouse does that prove that 1oo million progressives are violent? There's a lot of progressives posting here...if trump wins are we all going to track you down and beat the shit out of you?

    Well, there are some issues, Elections have been increasingly 'violent' in every election in the last 40ish years.
    https://www.the-american-interest.c...r-of-electoral-violence-in-the-united-states/
    https://www.economist.com/united-st...ican-cities-reflects-the-fury-of-polarisation

    The real issue at hand is the radicalization of people and how much that is spurned on by big tech and the media. When people are radicalized they get more violent, I'd say that is basically historical fact, but I'm sure it could be argued.

    You say the right-wing media sensationalized it, and yes that's probably true, but the left-wing media does its fair share of under or over sensationalization on things based on their views too.

    The Overton window is very slanted to the left-right now and everything becomes a political issue for them to polarize people with. Which is why basically all classical liberals get called, 'far-right', 'alt-right', etc because they're not left enough for the modern-day left. You go against the narrative of either political party on anything and they label you an 'extremist' for the other side. I've heard Tim Pool talk about in one 24 hour news cycle he was called an extreme leftist and far-right over his opinion on the same subject, and I've seen that happen with other journalist types too.

    Also doxxing has become a huge issue, so it might not be s2'ers doing it but it's become a very real thing for people to get gunned down and hunted based solely on their political, or world views.

    If you're looking for what the poll itself proves, it's that the radicalization of people has gotten the US into an extremely volatile, dangerous place, and that people are bracing for and expecting violence around the election, because of being groomed by their echo chambers, and media sources that feed into their preconceived notions about anyone who dares disagree with them on anything.

    ok...fair enough

    but I don't think it's as radicalized as what you may be implying. If it was, then there would have been lots of violence in 2016 when Clinton got 3 million more votes but trump won because of an obsolete and undemocratic electoral college. I don't remember cities on fire then

    if it's become so much worse in the last 45 months, then I think it's fair to point at the divider-in-chief as the main cause

    There were protests and riots in Berkley for months after the election. I think it has very little to do with Trump. I think it's been a divide and conquer attack for years that has gotten more refined and better at their "jobs" for the last 2-3 decades. Starting with a partisan impeachment process with Clinton, a supreme court ruling on the GWB election, and moving forward. Trump's just an easy target for it now because he's a boisterous idiot.
    There were definitely cities burning after the 2016 election.

    https://www.cnn.com/2016/11/11/us/oregon-protest-riot/index.html

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...ayed-demonstrations-erupt-across-us/93633154/

    So that was all long before his '45 months', the country was divided long ago, and the gap gets bigger and bigger every day.

    I'm not buying nearly to the extent you're selling...sorry

    there were protests for sure. And there was some ancillary rioting around it that the police were exaggerating. But again, I'm saying those people doing the damage are NOT progressive activists any more than Aryan Nations or the 3% are conservative activists, which is what that poll implied. Antifa seemed to spring out of the Occupy Wall Street movement in Obama's first term, and they have always been right on the edge of lawlessness

    mainly I'm arguing against conflation. Millions of progressives shouldn't be defined by Antifa; and millions of conservatives shouldn't be defined by Timothy McVeigh and Dylan Roof

    But yet millions of Americans can be defined by Trump.
