That's becoming a real problem. The voices for the left are more concerned about scoring points with the farthest 10% to the left, as opposed to more moderate people. Intelligent reasoning suggests that, in the political world, you raise concerns about Trump's actions (ie: the piss poor EO; simply bringing up the point the president is a barely-competent nincompoop who'll be blundering his way through moves for four years while his barely-competent voices (Spicer, Conway) do increasingly poor jobs of justifying those actions) in a way that at least sounds legitimate, so those moderate voters can at least see that there might be a need for change. The end result of this is to win back state and federal positions that got taken by the Rs over Obama's terms.

Instead, they're going through consistent and regular histrionics much like Quaker did over the past eight years. Hardly anyone here takes him remotely seriously and the same will be happening nationally to these outlets. Instead of doing things like saying, "This EO was horribly implemented and a poor decision and these officials are still in support of it regardless of how people actually feel", they're doing stupid shit like that Atlantic article or what Deadspin's been doing recently, where they feel the most important matter is that Tom Brady has made comments in support of Trump, so he needs to be publicly shamed until he's forced to sit down and talk at length about, uh, his personal opinion, I guess.

When you're left-moderate like me and you're thinking these guys are entering "too dumb to live" territory, something should probably be done a bit differently.

All this does on both sides is polarizes both parties. For right/left moderates this is horrible. One time in my lifetime I'd like to vote in an presidential election where it is difficult for me to make a decision (in a good way).

Unfortunately the Dems have gone so far left that I don't think I can fundamentally agree with much of their agenda and as a result I doubt I could ever vote for them. My only real choices are to vote for the GOP candidate and if he/she sucks the best I can do is abstain or vote for an independent. If the Dems threw out a left moderate I would highly consider it, unfortunately those days are most likely long gone.

Yeah, I think my main hope is that people would wake up out of "sheep" mode and start treating third-party candidates as actual legit candidates (admittedly, Johnson did a great job of killing any possible momentum himself with a handful of horrible interviews...) in order to send a message to both main parties to stop embracing the crazies.

My choice was easy this year. Find the candidate with the highest probability to defeat Hitler(Trump) and vote for her.

Democracy lost; Fascism won. Time to fight for the Republic!

You've got the idiot far right trump supporters who won't STFU about trump and pump up his every move, even when it's a bad one. And then you've got the idiot liberals who bash every move he makes.

Those of us in the middle are the ones who suffer. I just want to know the news, what is happening in the country. I don't want some idiot liberal in the Washington Post's opinion and I certainly don't want the far right trump supporter's opinions.

This thread is a great example. Everything I read on here (for the most part) makes me want to shoot myself. Every now and then I read a sensible post.

Note to trump supporters and liberals: trump is going to make good decisions and he's going to make bad decisions. If you scream "great move!!" After every one of his decisions, you are what's wrong with America (and vice versa with "bad move!!").

This immigration blow up is actually a good way to test your news source as to the accuracy and honesty of their product. Read the text of Trump's executive order, and then compare to what is being reported, and HOW it's being reported, and you will have a good idea of whether you can trust that source to give you accurate unbiased information.
It's quite enlightening and quite scary too when you notice how people are being manipulated, even radicalized by sources that once were considered fair and unbiased.
You can use it also to test your favorite politician too. Have fun!

For someone who claims to not be a trump supporter, you spend a shit ton of time defending him.

To the Atlantic Article:

Yea, shows 1) a lack of understanding of what the Atlantic was referring to (they weren’t “comparing it to the Holocaust” they were saying that the device of broadening those impacted beyond Jews is the #1 favorite thing of Holocaust deniers; and 2) the fact that there’s a White Supremacist in the White House as top aide makes point 1 make perfect sense

You know, I get labeled some times as a Trump supporter as well even though I can't stand the guy.

Some times people have to realize that just because someone doesn't believe Trump is the anti-Christ, doesn't mean they are a supporter.

The left likes to deal in these absolutes that if someone points out that the E.O. or other policies are very similar to Obama/Clinton/Carter in the past then they OBVIOUSLY support Trump for not calling him out as the racist homophobe that he is!

Realistically we can just think for ourselves and see how he compares to the past and not just spout what the MSM/MSNBC/CNN/BuzzFeed posts as fact.

Unfortunately, most people seem to oblivious to realize their own blatant partisanship staring them in the face. Trump is proving the vast majority of people basically are rooting for a team, rather than having any real principles.

Again, I said the EO was poorly written and executed. I have already criticized Trump numerous times before and since his inauguration. I think I made it pretty clear back in the primaries that I would not be voting for Trump and I didn't vote for trump. Overall I think most posters and my friends in real life who aren't too far in the koolaid on either side can vouch that I do not support Trump. Not sure what else you want me to do other than act like a dramatic cry baby with the others. This post literally just proves what I have been posting about the last few days in this thread.

lol +1, classic SJW tactic by COA. It is no longer enough to oppose somebody or oppose his/her actions. You now have to be judged by how much you oppose them. Just like liberals used to preach tolerance, but now they judge others for HOW tolerant they are. If you want to label me a Trump supporter, because I am not crying about fascism and hitler, then go ahead and be petty.

The funny part is I now have friends/family on the far right calling me a liberal for criticizing Trump :RpS_lol:. Damned if you do, damned if you don't I guess.

You must be really triggered by the term "SJW," that's only my second time using the term and I can tell it has gotten under your skin.

Except every one of my posts had substance to it, including when heretic got involved. Every one of your posts were very short with no substance and began/ended with some form of smugness.

In response, I provided a long post talking about how polarizing politics is and alluded to the fact the Dems have become the party of liberal cities (thus why most of these protests are being done in these cities). The numbers don't lie. LA/Chicago/NYC alone took up 13% of Hillary's popular vote. The whole point of that was this approach does nothing to swing people to vote the direction you want them to vote for.



For over 16 years liberals called Bush, McCain, and Romney racist/bigots/etc. That works short term until people start catching on that every GOP candidate is labeled by the left. Say what you want about their political policies, but all 3 of those guys have character. After a while people think “wtf, you said the shit about the last 3 guys, why the hell should we listen to you anymore.” As a result they stop listening, and now you have a guy who actually has character issues. I will say it again and maybe it won’t go over your head. The people outside of these bubble cities are looking at all these protests and thinking “meh, same shit; different day.” My recommendation is to not double down on this approach, because it is obviously not working (don’t believe me? Just look at the local/state/federal election results since 2010) and try to think of another way to sway people. Right now the approach is just turning people off and all it is doing is giving like-minded people self-gratification. Just like sharing an op-ed from a far left source accomplishes the same thing.

To further prove my point on this sub argument (hypocrisy from the left), I brought up the fact Obama droned the fuck out of Syria which created the Syrian refugee crisis and he reversed a 50 year policy making it easy for Cuban refugees to come to the states. Nobody on the left said a word about this, because this was coming from “their guy.” Back to my reoccurring theme of polarizing politics, it is a shame that both sides can’t be intellectually honest and call their parties out.

I won’t take the time to bold every time you said “lolk,” but look at the mirror when you talk about caricatures.

This x a million. Someone with some god damn sense for once. And this is exactly what is wrong with this country. I'm not a huge fan of trump, I think some of his policy's aren't the best but there is some that I do like. Give the damn guy a chance and let shit play out and stop listening to the dumbass media.

Read the text of Trump's executive order, and then compare to what is being reported, and HOW it's being reported, and you will have a good idea of whether you can trust that source to give you accurate unbiased information.
It's quite enlightening and quite scary too when you notice how people are being manipulated, even radicalized by sources that once were considered fair and unbiased.
You can use it also to test your favorite politician too. Have fun!

Thank you.

We have cry baby over dramatic Liberals, who think the world is ending and offended by literally everything, while acting like a bunch of pussies, then you have the far right who literally pounds their chest with every move trump makes.

It's nothing more than a reversal of the last few years, sadly. Where you had Obama apologists praising or finding the positives in everything he did, regardless of what it was and you had over-the-top conservative whiners crying about everything he did like the country was going to come to an end, crying about executive orders even though it seems he had fewer than any recent multi-term president and so on.

Trump upholds Obama's order on LGBTQ ............you can all rest easy now.
