That Trump thread is a joke (IMHO)

Hmmmm, indeed.

If the shitpost example below is anything to go by as an indicator of the type of "balance" that FAILSAFE wants the thread to go in, then we all should be happy that it isn't going that way, including the mods.

Another lefty. No suprise here. Its always them.

The left have a huge problem that needs to be addressed. Even this thread is a mirror showing the acceptance, celebration and justification of political violence that has infected the left.

It appears to be getting worse. Which of course lefty posters here will say thats due to Trumps actions and thats why he deserves x, y and z.

Trump will be gone from the White House for good in a few years. I can't fathom how some posters here will rejoin society in a post Trump era. The hatred is so ingrained into their DNA.

And now we are at the stage of discussion where instead of engaging in actual discussion and content it becomes just whining about moderation. The exact same pattern that plagues the Trump thread.

Those with a minority view complaining and whining about having a minority view and complaining that somehow the mods need to "balance" the discussion so that the minority view is somehow equal to the majority.

Erm…this thread is LITERALLY about the Trump thread and you're crying because he's getting discussed in it.

😂

Exactly. Why not try posting in the Politics thread Trump - The Positives.

They just want to discuss Trump right?And the CA Trump is "toxic"...

Nope. They dont want to actually discuss Trump cos they know they cant defend his conduct or "policies".

It is all just a way of getting criticism of Trump shut down.

Absolutely nothing stopping them posting in CA if they defend Trump without trolling or bad faith antics.

Trump is an odious individual especially in relation to women but you need much more clarification than you have given around court decision.

Trump was sued in a civil court, where on the balance of probability the court found for the Plaintiff.

Someone convicted in a criminal court has been found guilty beyond reasonable doubt.

There is a huge difference between the two.

Most rapists get away with their crime because DPP/Prosecutors don't think they can convict beyond a reasonable doubt.

Language around rape matters.

Language around paedophielia matters.

What we can say in relation to Trump and McGregor is that it's more likely than not that they committed rape.

I never see the need to exaggerate with Trump, his corruption is so obvious and in plain sight. His abuse of power, sidelining of Congress etc etc.

The world needs USA fixed; that starts with

1. outlawing super PAC system and breaking corporate control of political system

2. Abolishing the Primary system which amplifies and promotes wingnuts.

Trump is a symptom of a diseased system. The USA and the world are still in danger after his death/end of presidency

At this stage, I would suggest setting a deadline eg thread will be closed in X hours. Make your final contributions. Do not use it to have a go at other posters etc etc

I have seen this done on similar mod related feedback threads. And I know this is in helpdesk but seems closer to those feedback threads in nature.

It's an example of your posting adding absolutely nothing to the thread. A thread that upsets you so much because the guy you're in favour of isn't lauded in the terms you see fit.

If the responses to you were intemperate personalised insults, if the majority told you that you're obviously a "Everton supporter" despite your protestations that you aren't one, and posters were generally exploding with anger at any kind of contra-Liverpool opinion and the thread was 10% football analysis and 90% emotional outbursts, with even hints of violence, then you would eventually end by exiting the thread.

The funny thing is that attempting to circumvent politics to focus completely on tabloid-style Trump-is-bad narratives is a failed political strategy. It was meant to stop Trump from becoming President in 2016 and again in 2024 but didn't.

Why double-down, triple-down, and then quadruple-down on a political strategy that hasn't worked?

Because it's emotionally satisfying. It allows lonely, bored, trapped people (internet screen addicts) to feel something, to feel moral especially - though they often are far from good as people themselves, to vent all day letting out intense negative emotions including 'hate' which they say is bad but they feel it very strongly.

"Multiple times" yet you insist moderation and other posters are the problem?

Evidence presented that "mods are selectively striking down anyone that doesnt agree with the hate mob".

None.

Nobody has provided credible evidence of any post that brought a ban that was not justified.

The thread has turned "toxic" according to you who describes posters on the thread as "cry babies" and a "hate mob".

You also used the phrase on the thread: "There are posters on the thread foaming at the mouth..."

I dont think we have any need of your hypothesis when there seem like far more obvious explanations as to why mods were drawn to your posts.

Why dont you try posting in Politics, Trump the Positives thread?

Or have you done so?

Its an echo chamber because Trumpers refuse to post in it- outside of whining about it being an echo chamber they can't post in its one of the funniest parts of the victim complex. If they tried posting something other than whines about an echo chamber it might change.

All these threads just boil down to people incapable of discussing points lashing out at everyone else for their own issues.
