Quick! Mitt! Change parties. Become a Democrat, and go for the nomination for President this year

Fool you twice so what? What's the point of engaging anyone on here if you can't give them second or third chances? You aren't loaning him money.

What's the consequence - if your time is so valuable than why even bother posting or engaging him at all?

 

I wouldn’t mind having a president who doesn’t begin with name-calling and insults but instead entertain the arguments in an open-minded and charitable fashion that unites people instead of divides for his own gain. But we can't always get what we want.

 

What?

Who said my time was particularly valuable?

I am not buying what he is selling ok.

If you want to thats fine, I will wait and see until proven otherwise.

I don't understand why you are getting huffy?

Do you know how much he has tried to provoke me?

 

So why doesn't anything going against Trump interest you?

Why isn't anything from a liberal source or author thought provoking?

Why are right leaning articles the only thing worth reading?

Why do you post these articles in threads that have nothing to do with the topic at hand?

 

It doesn't come across that way as it seems to be more provoking the left in a way meant to antagonize people versus provoke thoughtful discussion. I am not sure if that is your intent. If your intent is to have thoughtful discussion, I'd post the pieces and state your honest opinion. Because your actual posts involve satire / sarcasm at times, it's not clear when you are representing your view versus being sarcastic or being contrarian. And that is going to cause a lot of grief versus create discussion.

People are sensitive, and you seem to recognize that fact. Do you want to provoke people emotionally or intellectually is the question. Again, I cross the line myself so I don't judge you for your posting style, I am just sharing the lessons I have learned in my 20 years on this BBS

 

Someone really needs some extra attention today. SAD.

 

Holy hell is this trolly.

 

Is it fun to play a trump supporter when Trump supporters themselves don't really seem to want to engage? I say that because your articles are lopsidedly pro-trump.

Your articles don't seem to stir anyone on the conservative side to start talking. Democrats don't like to read opposing opinions because it's annoyingly one sided (and oftentimes intentionally dumb) and conservatives might not want to read because they prefer cable. Any chance you could start providing key points of the articles you post to help with that aspect of things?

Otherwise these posts betray attention seeking behavior and headline provocation.

What do you do for a living? Curious. Plus maybe I could suggest that vocation to my contrarian friends.

I don't blame others for accusing you of being for Trump. Trump ran as a contrarian.

 

Yes we have. Stop assuming everyone's experience. We base your dumbassary and bad faith rhetoric based on the content of you posts.

 

Most of your pieces are not thought provoking.

 

We aren't discussing your articles. We are discussing your habit of spamming bad faith propaganda pieces that have been time and time again easily debunked with just a surface level amount of curiosity.

Dude, aren't you an older poster? Don't you have grandkids to enjoy rather than posting so much in bad faith? I couldn't imagine wasting so much time here just to trigger people. I post here a lot but it's my own genuine beliefs.

Do people get that senile when they get older where they resort to so much time wasted on bad faith discussion?

 

Good for Romney, makes me feel better about voting for him in 2012. Ethics are so far gone for the Republicans right now, it's depressing. Party above all else.

And as we usually see, the party is quick to eat their own for dissent.

 

He answered your question. Party affiliation can be fuzzy. He is technically a registered Democrat, for practical reasons, but he identifies more as an independent than a Democrat.

No need to accuse him of lying on this point.

 

What is a far right “leaning” source? A center right source?

 

The Federalist. He's posts articles time and time again that require a deep right wing bubble to accept the premises of the article.

 

In 2012 I didn't vote for Ronmey but I said he was a good man. I'm glad to see my assessment of him has been proven.

It's so rare for us these days to see an actual profile in courage and what we saw on the floor of the Senate was that.

 

There has never been a US senator who voted to remove a president in their own party in American history. Kinda shows how all Senate impeachment trials are partisan shams. But also shows how bad Trump is that he would be the fist president to have a member of his own party openly vote to remove him.
