it's amazing to see an echo chamber with daily posters accumulating post counts in the 10's of thousands about politics don't even know what liberalism is. the forum is hostile towards actual liberalism. AOC is not a liberal. She's so far to the left of liberal she's almost to the right of it. just about every single major policy has moved a long way left in the democrat part. you're welcome to agree with that policy shift but to deny it is just completely blind and absurd. Look at senator obama and bidens views on immigration (i'd post the video again if i wasn't lazy). considered deplorable conservatism today. the party front runner (bernie) and rising star (aoc) are socialist. bernie just went on record that he is in favor of abortion up to the point of birth. the forum and policy in general aren't rapidly moving left? wake up.

the forum was dominated by far left posters and moderators. i don't understand how or why people would deny that.
Wtf does abortion have to do with socialism? And really, when did Bernie and AOC promote socialism?

Dude you just lie about everything. Stop lying.

I would think you would take it as "credit" rather than "blame".
Have I ever asked for politics to be shut down?

You could reopen it as the 'shout angry stuff on repeat forum' and it would serve the same purpose.
You never looked in there, but you think that the tone of a thread where their forum just got shut down is likely to be indicative of the tone of the forum in general.

u r idiot

I have no idea, but I do know that you incessantly whine about the politics forum.

Sure about rules and mods but that is different to wanting the whole place nuked.

People are angry because of how immaturely run a site a lot of us have spent a considerable amount of time on over the years is.

Don't confuse that with how the politics forum was. It was 95% civil discourse. Bundy and the rest are agitators coming here to spike the football in bad faith.

Congrats, bundy!

And reacts with unabashed glee whenever a red clamps down. Just transparently full of **** and disingenuous. I’m not sure why everyone hasn’t blocked him/her already, he/she does nothing but ***** and moan about **** that doesn’t matter

You are gloating about it and said you won earlier in the thread. Stop lying.

Good point with a needless insult at the end. Try and stay diplomatic. It's win win.

Pretty sure they chalked it up to Eric Holder and former President B. Hussein O.

I think most members would agree that Politics is left of center. However, to hard-core right wingers, being left of center makes one a radical, SJW, extremist.

From a European perspective it was socially left of center and middling when it came to the public/private sector. 'Liberals' of various stripes when arguing together almost sounded like Labour and the Tories going at it. Then you had Einbert who was roundly mocked. What you term as the left wing could almost be called the moderate right over here.

It was definitely a lefty spot when it comes to US politics specifically - but not egregiously so.

I know it is difficult at this time for you knowing that your haven is on the brink but do you think I was really being serious with that post? Reactionary post. Of course I took some pleasure given what I've had to endure arguing my point and getting harassed in here for it but I also know that it forms a big part of this site and as long as you can get the rules and mods right I don't see why a politics forum on this site can't continue.

If you don't like it, what do you care? There are some forums on 2p2 that I don't like. I just don't go those places. I don't post about them. And I sure as **** don't complain about them incessantly to the mods and administrators.

You've been on a childish mission to change or shutdown the forum purely out of spite. So, this is your victory. "credit" not "blame" Congrats.

I'm glad these forums are all cleaned up now. Especially NVG.

It's part coal rolling and part old man demands respect for no reason. Bundy is annoyed that his moronic opinions garner zero respect unless he's in a customer service situation where tongues have to be bitten so he's out to **** everyones couch because why not. It's the classic reactionary move of calling the manager to complain, using economic power to demand the respect that he can't get any other way. Obviously it helps that the boss is also a reactionary old man and the shift manager is a drunkard who dgaf.

2 years ago I said this that I had no particular interest in politics apart from maybe contributing to 1 to 2 threads (but even then it was doubtful given the unfettered hostility I would face) but all I wanted was my name to be cleared and I didn't face an exile from p and Wookie continued to deny that despite me setting out how unjust it was. If you know anything about me I'm persistent and will keep pursuing something until it is set right and if that wasn't the lifting of the exile (which it didn't appear to be as Wookie couldn't see reason) then it was to argue for change to prevent what happened to me to happen to others like me.
