This rule is broken all the time by the left on the forum, even by the mods. I was called a nazi bc of my support for trump. Jman called all libertarians and trump supprters nazis. Wookie said the only thing Republicans have to offer r white supremacy and money for the rich. I got infraction points for posting a link from a left leaning news site saying that obama had similar border policies as trump! Bias? No way! Never! Lmfao
What's the point of rules again if they aren't going to be enforced?

Let's be real, its total bull**** that one group of people doesn't have the rules applied to them almost at all. That said, ****s too long didnt read so if you make me mod and someone reports a post, I am just going to delete the thread and ban everyone in it. Or do nothing, depending on how bored I am.

Never for your positing history? That’s a surprise, maybe people give you too much credit for the KC Wizards shirt?

I think the joke is that your claim itself is a broad brush attack on the opposing political party.

Please, these are the same people demanding protection from liberals while deriding snowflake liberals for demanding safe spaces...

he said yes. then i said, "i'm not gay." he pointed out to me that the female spouse made that statement a little obvious. i know i've done and said many stupid things in my life, but somehow that one sticks out as the winner.

we all had a good laugh about it.
That's a gay story

Why was wookies post deleted? If you're going to have a forum section called "politics" which totally misleads people in to believing it's anything other than a far left community moderated by someone on the far left who has clear disdain for anyone outside their ideology, shouldn't that at least be transparent? why hide his bias and disgust with half (at least) the population?

You have a far left community run by the far left posters. They mob and abuse anyone outside their ideology. The mods actively ban people who don't conform while allowing their ideological amigos endless rope to abuse others. It doesn't make any sense to label it a politics section or to mislead 2p2 members in to that area. It's silly enough, but why cover up his posts and attitude? If you are going to let this happen, shouldn't it at least be transparent?

It's a shame people have gone super cult like tribalism now (conservatives started this--and now they're complaining about the consequences and that's always annoying) and I don't think it's even possible as a society to get out of it (without say a war).
This polarization is bad, yes. The "they started it" game is silly but also false. The tribalism and intolerance we see on 2p2 mirrors what we have seen in western culture. The left went down the road of identity politics and intolerance in society and on 2p2. Identity politics always ends up bad. When the right does it, it takes the shape of racial identity and superiority. Actual conservatives and liberals believe more in individualism. This is how you know the leftists can't even pretend to be liberal.

Going back to the well. Same thread. What does race have to do with it?

Stuff like this is spread through left wing media

It's part of the ideology for those participating in identity politics on the far left. The politics forum is moderated through that lens

This.

OP,

Just go post on stormfront or whatever. No one is gonna oppress your free speech there. I'm sure they're all over the lyingness of bitches and how they bring good men down. You'll love it.

It’s hard to really justify any changes to the status quo. Politics is an active sub at least by 2+2 standards. I’m guessing site admins/owners would like a politics forum with more Trump apologetics and more friendly to racism but it’s not going to help traffic so it’s not really worth trying to fix from their point of view.

i feel that i should answer just because of the effort you're putting in. but i'm not going to do anything. you don't like the average poster in that forum. you don't like the moderation. you don't like the admins' decision to leave it all alone.

it sounds like an awful place that you should want to completely ignore. as i said before, that's what i do.

The idea of well named modding an alternate Politics forum was floated in December, they decided against it.

You are wrong, my friend. I posted a number of pictures over there. Interracial, homosexual naked play pics. They were deleted and i was banned. Free speech doesn't exist anywhere, i'm afraid.

well there's the problem, who's going to remember a guy who posted like 10-20 times, got tired of being dog-piled upon, and left without raising a big stink?

Everyone remembers the spectacular trolls who just kept coming back to stink up the place, but no one remembers the guys who just wanted to talk politics but felt overwhelmed and peaced out.

I'm sure some would appreciate a little more information. What post?

It's linked in the OP. It's a post that was up for a couple days in the Kavanaugh thread. Please let us know what happened

Yeah I'm not suggesting the forum should be changed other than the title. I'm just pointing out there isn't an actual politics section here and it would be nice if you let the far left community do their thing and opened an actual politics section. I know we've been down this road before but it's been a while and perhaps there's someone capable of moderating it

You are a classic example of the unhinged and delusional poster that can only exist in an echo chamber. It's like reality has escaped you. Once again, all of this is from the Kav thread

Stop talking to me then. Leave this place of madness and never return!

The man who runs the whole site just told you that he doesn't give a flying **** and he's not going to do anything and yet you're still indignantly arguing. Move on.

It has to be in fake latin for the spell to work. Muggles...
09-24-2018 , 07:52 PM
But for the record, all the posts of mine that you found objectionable are still there, and I stand by them. I may have deleted other posts that broke your links or something. But I have no interest in debating someone who can only call his opponents unhinged leftists rather than generating an actual argument.
09-24-2018 , 07:53 PM
Like I'm not going to stormfront and being like uh guys have you ever considered that jews might just be normal people like everyone else and not demonic lizard creatures who eat children? They're too far gone for reasonable debate. So are we apparently so give it up.
09-24-2018 , 07:56 PM
Perhaps we could just hope that conservatives adopt less racist, sexist policies so they can talk about them without being accused of fomenting hate speech?
09-24-2018 , 08:42 PM
Funny that the topic which brings juan roaring back to ATF after almost a years' absence is credible sexual assault accusations against a judicial nominee in a country he doesn't even live in.
