Because he aggressively attacks those who disagree with him by spouting filthy lies. Most of his posts in politics are flat out lies intended to provoke others.

He does not debate. He attacks.
He calls you an idiot. I don't think he's lying there. He goes after racists, bigots and those who support the right wing's efforts to enrich the 1% also people who regurgitate right wing echo shamber made up shit. Is there something wrong with doing that?. Oh, and people that in my opinion are truly offensive or boring, I put them on ignore. I don't see a problem with that either. For example, I put Rob Roy on ignore and the site improved immensely.

But you won't see me whining about him or others. Nor will you see me crying over something somebody said. This is the politics section and people are allowed to get rough with each other with moderators providing guidance when people overstep the bounds. I've been corrected in the form of deleted posts and I take it as guidance, not something to snivel over.

I know, I've noticed too, all of these whiners seem to come out when there is something that they can complain about. Pada has a knack for using just the rights words to lure them from stormfront.

I laugh when they mention their 1st amendment rights being infringed upon, since the site owner is not even in the U.S. :lol:

Doesn't the internet belong to 'Merica?

It's because most people are too stupid to have opinions about anything. If you tell someone facts which contradict their perspective over 80% of the time it just further reinforces the perspective. You see this in this section constantly. Very few people accept new facts willingly. Then they tend to get upset and angry in response to new information. Welcome to politics.

There are also plenty of people who knowingly lie about everything they post and do it anyway to just stir up shit and divide people.

Doesn't help that the public school system has been dumbing people down for decades either.

I liked this, but I fail to understand why you have Rob Roy on ignore.
Is he wrong on about every freaking thing he types ? Well yes, but the guy is locked away in an institution with only limited internet access.
They say his mental condition prevents him from having more day-room time, but when he behaves and takes his meds he can stay out his room longer.

Rob Roy is boring, that's all.

Top of the ticket is a shit show. Threads never stay on topic. Stale trolls.
Thanks bugsie for presenting the dumb side of the conservative argument for what's wrong here and in 'merica.

"top ticket is shit show". Well, yes and no. It depends on if you are superficially looking at the contest or at the details. Superficially, yes, Hillary is a shit show and Trump is too.

Deeper down however there are some very interesting developments. The neo Nazi movement calling itself alt right is a fascinating development. There are at least three trolls espousing their propaganda in RIU, @mynameisnobody , @MadNyeTheHydroGuy , @Illinois Enema Bandit, and @Walterwhiter. I list four because one of them might claim to be otherwise. The movement is a new coalition of thirty-something white supremacists with a modern twist on KKK principles. Trump represents them to a tee. And so, it's interesting to see a new movement get started. The movement is just getting started and will bring forth a new leader soon after Trump goes down in flames. That leader will be representing a class of rural poorly educated white men (mostly) who are giving the last gasp of the idea of a white nation. They are a threat to democracy, so, yes, it is interesting to me.

Hillary Clinton has weathered 25 years of right wing attacks and propaganda. In effect, Trump is the outcome of a political cadre that valued lies, rumor and innuendo over facts and honest political debate. McCain was the last representative of the conservative movement who valued truth over the pap that the right wing uses to manipulate public perception. Yet, Clinton has risen above all that and will soon become the next president, and a the first woman to hold that office in the US.

So, actually, the political forum is just fine. There are a lot of new developments in the US that are reflected here. Too bad for the right wingers who earlier on cried their hearts out over the mods not letting them spew racist lies and shit upon the forum. If they could just keep it civil, they wouldn't get banned. In my own view, I say let them cry. Right wing tears taste delicious.

Lol im a neo-nazi now for thinking Hillary is a crook. Got any source for that claim?

This is what's wrong with politics in general, you go against someone and your a racist neonazi (no telling what is to be said for black and Jewish trump supporters)

Theres just no place in the world for people with a clue who see both candidates as crooks and jackasses.

Lmao neonazi... I hope baby jesus diddnt hear u say that

I named four. Maybe you aren't one of the three. You are certainly spouting the new white supremacist dogma. But I'm open to your proving me wrong.

Like i said, do you have any source for me furthering the "neo nazi" movement? I can answer that, no. I have posted regarding Hillary being a crook, and UncleCuck posting underage gay porn on RIU. There are no links there. Source a post of me being a nazi or quit being a drama queen.

:dunce:
