Also, this is only my second post here (I usually lurk) and I'm trying to avoid the OT forum because it's so frustrating recently. However I've seen a lot of you here fighting the good fight and I just really want to thank you for that. Keep persevering and stay awesome.
Do you think this site leans more liberal, conservative or left?
Some of the discussions being so anti-capitalist makes me think it leans a bit more left.
But then seeing who has the power to receive concessions and changes, it makes me think it leans more liberal?
But then, the site also had a conservative OT? What was THAT all about?
Yeah, can't believe he lost all the weight on survivor.
Are you saying gamers lack self awareness ?I can't fathom being a Bioshock fan and like, so severely missing the point.

I'll buy and play that one eventually. Nowhere near a priority with what I've heard about it and things like Bloodlines 2, Halo Infinite, Humankind, and a million others trying to catch my eye, though.

would add "actively hates minorities and immigrants" to the republican side and "doesn't hate minorities and immigrants but does little to better their material conditions." to the democrat side
It is very flippant. that's fair it is the internet. But I don't think the critiques are without merit. I also don't think people are thinking about an AOC when making it. Hell, AOC herself has made similar but non-flippant critiques of the party.It doesn't seem fair to lump people like AOC and southern black democrats as practically the same as republicans beside abortion and guns. Seems extremely flippant and dishonest.
More talking about the power structure of the parties than individuals or particular voter demoIt doesn't seem fair to lump people like AOC and southern black democrats as practically the same as republicans beside abortion and guns. Seems extremely flippant and dishonest.
Remember when Biden said Obama was the first clean and articulate mainstream black man? Fuck that man.I don't know, they do have the author of the crime bill and friend to segregationists running for presidency and they did start the putting kids in cages thing "Doesn't vocally hate minorities and immigrants and will be very vocal about how the opposition hates them" seems more along dem lines.

In what way is that diagram referencing politicians? It only says Republicans and Democrats. Anyone can be one of those.I'd say it's dishonest to group in southern black voters with the actual politicians that venn diagram is referencing.
I felt the graph was talking about the parties and what they tend to represent. It wasn't singling out democratic voters and individual democratic politicians to me. But at the end of the day, it's a flippant graph made to be flippant for consumption on social media. I'm not gonna really sit here and argue what the creator(s) of it really meant when they put it together. We can find and engage with more substantive critiques of Democrats and Republicans elsewhere.In what way is that diagram referencing politicians? It only says Republicans and Democrats. Anyone can be one of those.

Also, outlaw third parties? When was that a thing?
I've vacillated on this point. While I sneer at twitter discourse as much as the next person ("marxist electoral theory"), I do feel it captures the id/politics of the masses, even if it's crude, and why should we not pay attention to the ideas dominating the masses?You need to stop consuming Tweets as serious political analysis.
It's only a problem if you stop at tweets.Peak socialism....
You need to stop consuming Tweets as serious political analysis. While there is some crumbs of truths, it's pretty damn lazy and not a serious decinstruction of the field of discourse that dems and republicans share.
Im really interested to know how talking about a tweet is "Peak Socialism". Do you think that socialists dont read books or articles? It is true that some of them pay less attention to literature or studies because well, they are poor or working class, but leftist historians and academics are not hard to find.
Looks @ 2 WiiUs... 👀Only incredibly intelligent and good looking people bought the WiiU.
Anyways, lemme spin the roulette to see what crimes Bernie committed today:
