    Really? Would that equate to the minority movement too? Or Could I consider alot of people here(10-15 people) a minority compared to all the people I associate and converse with? Because I'm telling you, outside of S2, its a very different vibe overall.

    I just think some people live here and all they hear is this echo chamber, so they think they are in the majority when they are not.

    As long as your efforts are not aimed at ridiculing, demeaning or insulting im all for it.

    The first thing that breaks down discussions and puts up walls is insulting another person for their opinion. Which his the bulk of what this place is about. Ill give you the benefit of the doubt on that.

    I get what you said. Him bragging about the ability to do so is not a good look at all. Its insulting to women.
    But hen I look at Biden and I see him having touching issues and what not with children. Not a good look either.

    Then I compare the economic ideals of the two.

    They both have sexual misconduct issues or fetishes they are dealing with with the press. So that leaves me with how they stand economically. If i'm going to let a character issue get in the way, then neither of them deserve a vote. Which is how I went.

    With that said, I lean on the conservative government side.

    I get really confused when I see this socialist/liberal movement wanting to give more power to a government, they openly say has failed them.

    Absolutely doesn't make sense to me.

    Well, I'm not going to pin it down. It's just a consideration.

    I'll leave you with your opinion on Trump

    I will say yeah there have been false accusations. But, most women are not lying and are in fact victims and they should be believed when they come out and say things happened. They should be given the benefit of the doubt. But, more often than not its the accused who is given the benefit of doubt, while the accuser is ostracized. Its the reason women who are victims of rape don't speak out. Because people will choose to believe their victimizer.

    Also, not a good reference with Jeffery and Bill. Jeffery was prosecuted and ended up dyibg/being killed for his shit, and Bill was impeached for using his power to make his aide suck his dick. Not to mention all the other women he has had to pay off in court over sexual assault/rape allegations, etc.

    OJ was "innocent", because he wasn't found "guilty" in a court.

    That wasn't really my point, but at the same token, Trump has paid off people...for some strange reason.

    Holy crap, that was definitely cringeworthy and detached.

    It's just a reference to the Lone Ranger, right?

    Let's talk about this. Your referring to his use of the word Kemosabe and the SOS smoke signals?

    Kemosabe has several translations or varying meanings.

    It can be translated as friend apache. Other translations include, he who looks out in secret, faithful friend, and trusty scout.

    Many have said it is very similar to the spanish quien no sabe, which means he who does not understand. Basically idiot.

    Many have said its derogatory while many believe its not. There isnt yet a concrete consensus on it.

    Was it racist? IDK. It seemed like ABM was calling OB a friend. But, thats just me.

    I'm saying writing in dialect is painful on its own. But the quoting Native Americans in pidgin English just lands as pretty insulting these days. It's like Trump saying the Pocahontas stuff. I'm sure he's quoting the Lone Ranger, but it doesn't make it a good thing to do. Go quote the "Song of the South" and see how that goes.

    Face facts, most of us here are non-entities, except @SlyPokerDog. What we post here might be read by at most a few dozen people. So why are posters called out as unforgivable for what we say, but occupant of the white house repeatedly boasts of sexually assaulting women, has been accused by around 24 women, and yet, well, no problem because he hasn't been found guilty in a court of law?

    As prop said, it's the "me speak only truth" part that is cringeworthy.

    It'd be like if someone posted a picture of Rochester, in the year 2020, and said something about "massa" and "you bet Mr Benny!" or "oh lawdy lawdy me!"
