PRESIDENT TRUMP

bahleted

This Guardian article has a decent summary of what the triple parenthesis indicates. I'll leave it to you to determine what somebody like harmonic uses it for given the context.

what the fuck. they should have used asterisks to pretend it's like little yellow star badges

Say what you will about cidmakeador, the guy made a good point on the Ozzy/Sabbath distinction.

Yeah, just because Ozzy's singing doesn't mean it's Black Sabbath.

is the main thrust of your point that people that voted for donald trump did so because they were mad at people on the internet?

No.

Harmonic, can you do this poisoned community a favor and just leave? Thanks.

You said it was poisoned, not me. You want me to leave because you disagree with my politics? (which you likely don't even know) Come on, you said your small call-out, let's hear how you really feel. Do the big public call-out you so badly want to say. Make it really, REALLY personal and off topic.

Actually, how about you just block me? Or take your call-outs to PMs if you feel so strongly about it.

oh. this is a very bizarre tangent then.

No it's not. Some people on the left have tried to learn from this loss. Others, well, are doubling down on "everyone is racist and sexist, etc". The things people are sick of hearing. You don't change minds by shaming. All you do is move political opponents underground and silence them. This is a bipartisan issue, because the chasm between left and right continues to widen as neither side has a modicum of interest in even hearing the other. I'm telling you what the left can stop doing to mend that rift, and that's quit with the bigot labels every 2 nanoseconds. Especially for guys like me who would be considered right wing, but would also be called a "race traitor" or a "cuck" or a "degenerate" by the alt-right.

oh, so it is what I said.

Well, I can assure you that millions of people did not rush to the polls to vote trump due to leftists calling people idiots. slep tite

Not an argument

Whether or not you think it affected the election, just stop. Stop it anyway. Not everyone you don't like is Hitler.

Why is everybody being so mean, now? I don't agree with harmonic, and I think he's being a bit condescending, but there's nothing that warrants telling him to leave, or whatever.

EDIT: Some good news: Trump has sold all of his stock in the Energy Transfer Partners, the owners of the Dakota Pipeline. So, it looks like Trump may actually intend to comply with the emoluments clause of the Constitution.

My, oh my. So many assumptions being made about my character. It figures that you display similar attitudes towards anyone who speaks up for people who aren't white heterosexual males.

Also, have you considered that this "widening of the chasm between the left and right" is something people like you are largely responsible for?
