Post Re: The Biden era: The Establishment Strikes Back
Chippy knows nothing about me lol. I live in an area that is 70% Democrat and have always been in the arts music and drama community which is like 80-90% Democrat. Echo chamber my ass. Before the 2016 election actually happened I didn’t know a single Trump supporter and was shocked at how many votes he got cuz I was so cutoff from conservative communities.

Liberals live mostly in densely populated bubbles and make up most of the media, Republicans in Democrat areas fear social ostracism if they express their views and keep quiet. it’s far easier for liberals to just choose not to expose themselves to right wing ideas than Vice versa . Even in rural Kentucky they still have MSNBC.

“You just live in an echo chamber” is a terrible argument and unfalsifiable .

I’ve also been relatively conservative the entirety of the time I’ve posted here. I have not changed Chippy.

Chippy's relationship to right wing views is equivalent to how a hardcore Muslim feels about Jewish ones.

I might disagree with you two, immensely at times, but I don’t think you guys participate in echo chambers at all. I mean, you guys post here which I feel is fairly balanced

Literally every major city in the US has more Republicans than every single rural area.

The percentage is what matters dude. 8 or 9 out of 10 people in urban areas agree on most politics and they are constantly exposed to people with the same worldview.

The percentage in rural areas is similar but people come into contact with each other less so there’s not nearly as much “I don’t know anyone who’s a democrat” because they know far less people in general than people in urban areas where you can easily interact with a hundred different people a day

My god man, read what you just wrote.

Every single democrat in a major city knows hundreds of Republicans. I'd bet most Republicans on rural areas know maybe 1-2 Democrats, if that.

Just wild unfounded statistics lmao.

Whatever. The point is I interact with and am exposed to plenty of Democrats and their ideas on a daily basis.

Because he's not left wing. That's what makes me more left wing.

But since y'all think CNN is left biased, your worldview on left/right wing isn't as tuned in as you think.

When it comes to American politics anyone who overwhelmingly supports Democrats over Republicans should be called left wing in my opinion, in this case that guy's entire career is writing threads and books hooking in people who want to believe the latest development in (Russia collusion, Ukraine phone call, Mar a Lago raid, etc.) will FINALLY be the one that takes down Trump. He is to the right of Hasan Piker type guy in the same way Biden is to the right of AOC, but they are all leftists.

I feel Joe Rogan is a great example of a moderate as he is a mix of some Bernie views on things like healthcare, welfare, etc. but also has toyed with the right in terms of free speech, covid restrictions and trans issues.

See, Shack, you're playing sports with your politics. Leftists aren't on the same "team" as Democrats. A ton of Democrats are extremely moderate. Ditto Republicans. They're liberal on some things, conservative on others, etc etc. Typically Dems are liberal with things like human rights, while Republicans don't really care about human rights (besides apparently taxing rich people?).

Maybe some day you'll start to see politics in a correct spectrum.

It seems pedantic to act like the only people who should be called leftists in the US are the ones as left wing as people like AOC. It's be like saying Ben Shapiro isn't a right winger because he is not really MAGA (He is on "move on from Trump in 2024" side). There are some countries around the world more left wing than all of American politics but there are also some that are more right wing than either.

Post Re: The Biden era: The Establishment Strikes Back
ben shapiro is a right winger because he has extreme right wing views. does that help?

do you need me to make you a pamphlet "introduction to the political spectrum"?

What makes it "extreme right" views? If you made a scale in the US his views would be to the left of MTG or Boebert. And on a worldwide scale every Republicans views are more progressive than a good portion of the world's population such as all the Muslim countries that are authoritarian religious/traditional environments.

It's very hypocritical for the sanctuary cities to be so upset about Ducey and Abbot sending the buses of illegal immigrants to their cities when they're the ones so vocally in support of them

While those cities aren’t organically designed around influxes of immigrants like our west are, I agree, it is not their place to comment on the situation. It is a Southwestern issue, not an Atlantic Coast issue

DeSantis is definitely getting Trump treatment by the media if he's the 2024 nominee
