Stalking poster's history is creepy, you really shouldn't do that. However, It is true I only recently started posting about politics here and yes it has mostly been critical of the left. Despite that, I am in fact in the middle. I have been critical of both sides and probably would have voted either Kennedy (before he dropped out) or written in Chase Oliver, but seeing a candidate get shot at twice and the media dismissing or minimizing it is what made me pick a side. That is when I started making political posts here. At this point I find TDS people more annoying that MAGA's. Both are equally delusional, but the TDS people have the media backing them and are in your face with the same talking points every day. I tend to go after what I find to be the biggest threat. Questioning the corruption of the government and media is within my rights and there is a lot to question. It is sad to see what the left has become. When I was young they were all about freedom of speech and questioning authority. As soon as they got more power ten to fifteen years ago, they went right to being authoritarian and demonizing any questioning of the system. I didn't like it when the Moral majority and PTC acted authoritarian in the 80's and 90's and I don't like it when the far left and media are doing it now. The left leaning posters here match that mentality a lot more than the right leaning ones match the MAGA mentality, hence my post history. At the end of the day we all are making choices because we are doing what we think is right. We are also in agreement that we want to see the fish get squished in a few hours.

2024 Election Polls - President - Senate - House
dgrochester55 replied to Big Blitz's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Another poll on the same day had Trump up 10 in Iowa. As far as the Des Moines poll, maybe it is a trend, maybe it is just one outlier, there will be other polls after to help us find out either way. Don't tell the mainstream media that though. They have already plastered it on every headline as if it is a national swing. Further proof that mainstream media is campaigning for Harris. -
Glad you also thought that was dumb. I don't like extreme behavior from both sides. I am not a MAGA or a fan of them, but I think that the authortarian left and media are the bigger threats. I've heard the Trump quotes a million times. I don't like the guy, but I am voting for who would better lead the country. Harris is all over the place and looks nervous and uncertain every time she speaks. She would be a disaster if she got in. That is fine if you disagree with me, but stop assuming that every person voting for Trump is a MAGA.

No one said that questioning the election was bad? Really, just run a Google search for "questioning the 2020 election" and this is instantly disproven. Do you actually ever watch news or are you always creating your own alternate storyline when you post? Honestly, your posts make it look like you live in a parallel universe because they are so far off and easily disprovable. At least the other regular TDS posters here are on the same planet. Is this really you or are you trolling on purpose? This isn't as much of an ask for me as you might think. First, individual states seem to be adding extra precautions and there has been more time to set up and vet the early voting process. Second, I think that we are screwed either way, I just think that Harris is worse. I've thought of what might happen in the worst case scenario if each person wins and have decided that whatever happens will happen and I will be at peace with it. Regardless of the result, its business as usual for me. I will be going to work the next day and cheering for the bills the next Sunday after.

What I have learned from the democrat side of the 2024 election campaign. • Things went great over the last four years under Biden and the economy was better than ever, but if we elect Harris, she is going to fix the mess that Biden created. • You don't need competition in a primary and can hand pick another candidate if your first one is losing, and we should abolish or expand the supreme court, but Trump is a threat to democracy • Assassination attempts aren't a big deal unless they are successful • Social media platforms that censor one side support freedom of speech, but platforms that allow both sides to speak are full of hate • It is okay for the elite to be ultra rich if they donate to the Harris campaign, but if they support Trump or even act neutral, they must be stopped and boycotted at all costs • Blatant lies in the media are perfectly okay as long as there is a retraction in small print on page 10 after the relevance of the topic has passed. • It was funny to call Dick Cheney a war monger for eight years during Bush's presidency, but if Trump says it just once about Liz, it is a death threat • Most importantly, you don't need a platform when you have 90 percent of the media and Hollywood campaign for you at no cost and smear the other side. When they want the opinion of the masses, they will give it to them. Edit: Quick shout to Joe Ferguson Forever and L Ron Burgundy for taking the time to let me know that they enjoyed the joke and found it funny by using the laugh emoji. Thank you.

The is no place for that, but i am sure that you probably thought that hilarious when Kathy Griffin ran around with a severed head of Trump. Both parties have idiots doing extreme behavior. The difference is in how the media covers it. If a far right person does something stupid, it is all over the news for weeks on every station. If someone from the far left does something stupid they are either praised for it or it it is swept under the rug by the media and censored online by all big tech except for X.

I feel like both candidates have been steadily doing this for the past three months. Parallel to a close football or basketball game, it might come down to the last verbal gaffe.
-
Truth Social and Parler were right leaning. X actually allows both sides to speak without being banned. We've all just been so conditioned to think that it's normal for social media to censor one side that an equal opportunity platform blows some people's minds. The difference between liberals and far left authoritarians are who they think that freedom of speech applies to. Which one are you?

Democrat strategy over the last few months. 1) Orange man bad. 2) Biden good. No health issues for Biden, Harris bad. 3) Someone shot at Trump? Well, they missed, so no Biggie! 4) Actually its opposite now, Biden Bad, Harris good. 5) Hey wait, X allows both sides to post, that will trigger too many independent thought alarms! Only our side should have freedom of speech. Rich man bad!! 6) Trump shot at again? Yeah but Jan 6th!!! 7) Lets focus on Harris’s platform. What are you running on Kamala? “I don’t know he he he, elect me and I’ll tell you!” 8 ) No wait, Hitler hitler hitler, threat to democracy!! We dont need a platform, they are worse

The media needs to be held accountable if this country is ever going to heal. I am not talking about in a fascist way or one that suppresses freedom of expression. I am thinking more like mandatory disclosure by each network on what party their news leans towards. If they say something that is not true, the punishment should be a required retraction that is visible to everyone and not buried seven pages down and a fine in extreme cases. The deliberate lies need to stop.

Trump didn't backpedal, he clarified what he media since the mainstream media twisted his words like they always do. Nobody using common sense and critical thinking would ever take either of Trump's versions as a death threat. There, now Stop spouting out insults and grow the hell up. This post is the perfect example of the obtuse, tone deaf mentality that is going to cost the democrats the election. Edit: Laughing at my comment like a little boy only further proves the desperation of lefties like you.

I have no obligation to answer that. Your "question" was actually a passive aggressive attempt to back me into confirming your misguided mainstream media propaganda based sentiment disguised as your opinion. From my experience, most questions have question marks at the end. No doubt some on the right will protest and act stupid if Harris won, but I will bet any money that the lefts reaction will be on a larger scale and much more extreme if Trump wins. You know it and I know it.
-
Your reply was nothing but insults and TDS. Yawn! If I wanted that, I would watch NBCNews. Do you not have any of your own thoughts or opinions to share? Agreed, at least until the left and mainstream media try to redefine that term, regurgitate their version like it is scientifically established gospel and brand anyone who dares question it a conspiracy theorist.
-
If that comment makes you think of the firing squad, then you are the one with the problem. I see a lot more violent sentiment on the left lately. Deep down inside, you know that they are grasping at straws. Take a moment to be honest with yourself and admit it. This is a desperate reach on the democrats part.

This is not the sentiment when you go outside of the TDS bubble. Most things are going Trumps way. What actually sealed the deal is when Biden calls the voters for the opposing party garbage. The comedian at MSG and the comment on Cheney might turn some people off, but that will be more than offset by Biden's comment. Wisconsin and Michigan were leaning towards Harris until local Arab American leaders started endorse Trump or Stein. That will be the difference in those states where every vote is needed. Toxic conformity and fear from COVID drove people in 2020. Being jaded with the tone deaf and failing nature of the government and medias resposne to inflation and crime over the last four years is what is driving people this time. I am not a MAGA by any means and wish that there was a third choice. I am just observing what I see.
