moral of the story, don’t call out posters for being part of the political problem as that is pretty rude.

I have to comment on this twice. Im not gonna name names, but there are a few people in this thread alone that have made clear statements for months that if you are undecided or support trump you are part of the problem. So you gonna go call them out too?


Doublestandards 101.....


Fuckin A. HAHAHAHA

yeah but that post was made after you had already called him out, see how your timeline isn’t adding up?

You’re literally the next post asking him if he’s the problem

so your justification that you came up with two hours later is wrong

But really I don’t care anymore it was hilarious to see you come up with some reason tho

omg he liked a post

Edit: nvm I’m wrong here lol

Not it was not.....
 
From the title of the thread and the OP's assertion that no one watched, it seems that it would indicate a diminished interest in the DNC party, candidates and platform. Considering how much attention Fox news commentary and time has been dedicated to rebuttal and counter argument during and since, i would hazard a guess that the candidate and DNC reached a much larger audience viewership than is indicated, even if they only saw parts of it through secondary sources. Heck, 6 of the 10 leading headlines on breitbart this morning were about the convention. alas, one also needs to include the twitterverse where right leaning pundits and the president tend to make their opinions known. i understand he can't help himself. Levin, Hannity, Carlson et al. included. people just want the bullet points anymore and are too lazy to do the work necessary to be truly informed, and are happy to have the same opinion as anyone agreeing with them. the world really needs the like button and the reposting features removed from the internet. smarter and informed voters would make this a much better place to live.

is one what? Dude you've become and echo chamber....want to hear a double standard...? You said we were respectful of each other not long ago...wow

River did you read the thread and gain the context?

Have you not said and clarified your stance that at this point if someone is not against Trump they are part of the problem?

So I must ask, Is your post and question about respect about me tagging you?(of which I'm not sure how that would be disrespectful?) or is it because i'm stating you are one of the people who have made this claim that if you aren't against Trump, you are part of the problem? (maybe not word for word, id have to go back and quote the posts for that).

So I ask, if you are agreeing that you have said that, then how would it be disrespectful for me to make that statement?

If you are denying it, then, I suppose I will have to go dig up some quotes.

At any rate, i'm not sure how you think this is disrespectful, unless you are not reading the thread, understanding the context and/or are just biased because I don't agree with you on this topic?

Well, I guess that solves things.

Biden Outlines COVID Plan As Experts Warn of Global Food Shortages

U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said he has a plan to help the U.S. fight the coronavirus outbreak.

“After all this time the president still does not have a plan,” Biden said. “Well, I do.”

Biden said Thursday in his acceptance speech at the virtual Democratic convention that his plan would include a national mask-wearing mandate and immediate rapid testing results. His plan would also call for increased manufacturing of medical supplies in the U.S.

Biden added that he would ensure that schools have whatever they need to “open, safe and effective.”

So if you hate it here so much.... why are you here? Serious question, and I'm not suggesting you go away, I really don't want you to.

But if I felt the level of dissatisfaction with everyone else's posts that you seem to, I'd probably give the place a pass.

You aren't going to reform any other poster, much less all of them, so why beat your head against the wall?

It goes in waves. Because I'm a Blazer fanatic and feel a connection to anyone else here because of that. I've explained that before.

My level of dissatisfaction is not universal to all here. Only to some. And its mostly because of instances like this.

The continual twisting of words, attacking posters without knowing the context of their post(ive been guilty and try to be aware and admit wrong doing if so)

Even you have been a part of that dissatisfaction because you will get into these modes where instead of answering a question legitimately, you do a spin off and answer questions with questions.

Its not constructive.

Trust me. Sometimes I ask myself why the hell am I here.....Its the same people day after day telling everyone their opinions are the only right ones and if you disagree with those people then you are part of the problem... they imply. (hence my comments about others being part of the problem, it was in mockery)

And if you treat them the way they treat you, then you're a condescending, demeaning, insulting person.

I mean River is a perfect example. I tagged him. he doesn't know why. But immediately took it as a sign of disrespect. Then continues to go on and say he isn't gonna read why I tagged him and basically just assumes I was being disrespectful.

This is complete insanity to me... yet its these people who belittle anyone who disagrees with them.


I don't expect anyone to change, but it sure would be nice if people would be more aware of their double standards and hypocritical behavior.

There are half a dozen or so posters who post daily their opinions as facts and belittle anyone who disagrees. When you treat them the same, they get butt hurt.

Ive never been in a group environment where so many people are incapable of having constructive conversations without feeling the need to insult or demean those who disagree. Course ive never been part of any other forum other than this. I speak mostly of real life groups.

That's a bit like saying "I've never met a person with a vagina. Of course, I've never been around any women. I speak mostly of men."

Yes, this is different than real life. I recommend accepting that as reality.

you wont get anyone one here to admit this was wrong. Bunch old farts in the OT with “years of political experience” to solidify their opinions as the only ones that are correct.
They demean anyone who disagrees with them as being idiots or nincompoops, but simultaneously call you condescending when you simply rebute the initial demeaning statement.
You should go the road of Mags. There isnt anything your gonna post in here that will get people to actually comment impartially about this



OMG Lanny that's my point. Again did you read the thread?

I commented that I will want to watch the conventions to continue to solidify my decision. I was told that I'm a nincompoop for being undecided. The only way to be decided currently is by believing twitter and facebook.

I'm arguing i'm NOT making a final decision based off of hearsay news twisted to fit a narrative. And I got called a nincompoop for it. Then when I countered I was told I was condescending.

I swear to God I don't think many of you read what you are commenting on, let alone recognize what you are even writing....


And then when I called the person who said I was condescending out on his initial demeaning response, its crickets.

Some of you have Got to start learning to take responsibility for your hypocrisy.(not you specifically Lanny), or you will just be considered a grumpy old fart.


GET OFF MY LAWN!


I cant take anyone seriously when they basically say i'm a nincompoop for not having come to a decision, but when I say thats arrogant, im told im condescending?

I mean really GTFO with that nonsense....((again, not you specifically Lanny)

I'm the grumpy old fart that gives school children the finger as they walk past my run down house on their way to school or home from school. Usually it's on their way home from school because when they head for school at 9 am I'm still asleep with a hangover from my drunken rowdiness the night before. Now excuse me, I've got to get to the store and get me a pack of unfiltered Camels and a six pack of PBS beer to go with my sweat stained T-shirt, boxer shorts, old sandals and week old stubble that I have when I sit on my rocking chair cussing and giving the finger to the small kiddies. All of which is paid for with my welfare check and some money selling dope to kids. ps My hair looks like that Trump doctor's hair. Now, you kids get the hell off my lawn! If I see you riding your little tricycles in the street one more time I'm gonna run over them with my truck. That's what I am. You're not that character that distributes free popcycles and ice cream to the little kiddies, are you? I'm your doppelganger.

Assuming that was true and I see no reason why it would have been true, it's the last time Trump will get a whiff of Biden's rear end. Yeah, Trump can kiss his ass goodbye as Biden heads for the finish line.

Well, you'll just have 2016 all over again if that happens.

People believing "its in the bag".
"There's no way Biden will win."

Hillary and the dems mailing it in and assuming that she would win caused her to lose. Trump campaigned hard in battleground states and Hillary did who knows what.

People will just be whatevers about voting again, and the upset will happen again.

I’m not talking about mailing it in. I’m talking about someone from Trumps side flipping on the DNC convention and being swayed. Maybe four people in the country are capable of that at this point. It just seems like the conventions are just to fire up the current base which is fine I guess but these speeches aren’t being heard by 95% of Trump voters. So what’s the point.

I'll find it for you, but I saw a poll that showed the number of people who change their votes based on conventions is actually sort of high (much higher than I thought).

Dear barfo,
You can't be king. That position has been filled. I will allow you to be Vice King as long as you sign a non disclosure document wherein you promise to worship me and kiss my feet and ass whenever called on. This has never been done before, right?

I'm having issues finding it but I thought I saw earlier a study showed that 14-19% (one of those two) of likely voters wait until the conventions to make a decision.
I guess the explanation would be a lot of people don't pay attention to politics until it's time to vote.
Edit: I'm in a hurry to get out of the office I'll look this evening. If I'm wrong about that number I apologize.

I guess I could see that in any other election...but things are so different now and so polarizing I just can’t imagine someone undecided at this point. Doesn’t seem possible
