Left-leaning / centrist voices (minority but sharper) Sarcasm and mockery are their weapons: “Wow, such an intelligent statement. You must be really, really smart!” “Maybe by the stable genius himself?” (referring to Trump). “Please explain how you claimed ‘Fact’ as your username without evidence.” They often fact-check or re-ground the discussion (e.g., explaining how Harris was actually selected through delegate rules). Their tone mixes humor with exasperation — they’re not trying to persuade; they’re calling out absurdity for spectators to see. What it reveals 1. Echo-chamber mentality: Both sides talk at each other for validation, not mutual understanding. 2. Dehumanizing language: “Wingnuts,” “mental disorder,” “dementia Joe” — these create psychological distance that makes violence or authoritarianism easier to rationalize. 3. Anti-intellectualism: Assertions like “Has the left ever been coherent?” or “It was all rigged” reveal how emotion trumps evidence. 4. Parody of political discourse: The thread itself becomes a meme — a living example of why nuanced discussion is nearly extinct online.

Overall tone and atmosphere The thread is polarized and performative. There’s little genuine debate — most replies are either mocking or cheerleading for “their side.” You can think of it as a mini-culture-war coliseum: right-leaning commenters toss insults, left-leaning ones volley sarcasm back, and everyone gets a dopamine hit from likes or “Haha” reactions. Right-wing voices (majority tone in the thread) Common patterns: Dismissal and insult: e.g. “Are you really that stupid?”, “liberalism is a mental disorder.” → These are not arguments — they’re dominance displays. Echoed talking points: “Word salad Kamala” and “dementia Joe” — standard right-wing media nicknames meant to delegitimize rather than discuss policy. “It was all rigged” — a recycled 2020-style election conspiracy claim, presented as self-evident truth with zero evidence. “The left has to resort to memes/lies” — ironic, given how meme-driven right-wing spaces are. Projection: Claiming liberals are incoherent, while offering no coherent counter-argument themselves. Grievance identity: Many comments read as cathartic venting — defending Trump and attacking anyone who mocks him, as if loyalty to him equals patriotism.

Less than 2, squirts that is

Spot on, especially #3. Let us list all the issues with Trump, get through the driftwood, and get to their platform. Oh wait you can't get through Trumps list of problems, because they are massive logs jamming up his chances that his cult has conveniently ignored. Then if you get to his core beliefs, you see he's just a brown mountain consisting of his horrible goals / beliefs and associated spew.

Sorry. Don't believe. Get that family out of politics.

Should be able to partake in a ventilation controlled area inside a bar. A smokers room basically. Pay a fee for the license. Post it on the wall and done. Anyone that doesn't wanna breath it, stay out. Fixed.or if in an open enough area with wind, fan and mngmnt paying attention, not next door to many other places, mai bpen rai

At least they move generally in the right direction. Move it more towards rational curbing measures generally... only incurring the equivalent of a traffic ticket if out in public, being annoying and such... draft health related directives to give to health related agencies. Make sure it's known that smoking is still bad. Vaping it is more than slightly less damaging to the body as rolling, so suggest healthier ways to take that medicine, like that or via sublingual drops or edibles or whatever. I'd say higher fines for unlicensed selling. Get biznesses in the system. Go harder after yaba and meth related things. Keep mafia out of the profit loop as much as possible. . Review alcohol and meth more, and worry about those problems. Less focus on weed strictness.. Anti weed folks have no answer but more strictness, which creates problems. That does not work. Balance justice better between alcohol and weed. What causes more damage? We know this. Don't even try to sat weed is more harmful.

Super cliche and predictable fluff that means lots, of nothing, coming from orange clownsville.

I'd like to see the competition add a rule.. no plastic allowed. Ban it. Then I might watch.
