I, for example, presented you with several relevant sources in the previous thread about how it's likely more republicans that would vote against the resident vs. democrats voting against Biden after you simply said I was completely wrong, and I am still awaiting your response. No response from you means that you are doing exactly what you claimed from the previous poster - you're just pooping on everything.
I've posted many links on how the Democrat party is losing Black and Latino voters there was no need to do so yet again.
What do you mean by "calling fire hot?" That doesn't make the slightest bit of sense.
I mean that calling obvious behavior which is trollish, is trolling. Just like calling fire hot is obvious.
And posting links from sites like Breitbart, Daily Caller, or OAN is not valid. I thought this was already established. Please use sites that are not extremely biased and also, spreading false information.
But that is not true Black and Latino voters are going over to the republican party at any real rate. As Latino I know this first hand with again any credible source source shows Latino voters are not becoming republican.. So everyone questions your sources, I have posted replies to that and that effect. A twitter link is not proof of anything. Roughly the same number of conservative latinos as there were before.

the demographics are basically the same along nationality lines. Most Cubans are republicans because they hate Kennedy most if not a vast majority of Puerto Ricans are dems and because of Trumps mishandling and insulting of the Island allot of PRs move to the states which works against him because they registered to vote as we are entitled too.

Just wondering is CNN MSNBC etc exempt to this?
CNN And MSNBC do have their bias as well and they should not be your sole place for information.
This is why when finding sources, you don't just look at one link. For example, look for information from the AP, Reuters, BBC, NPR, or even scholarly journals, for example, to see if they can corroborate.
But CNN and MSNBC are nowhere close to Fox in terms of bias, let alone Breitbart or OAN
There is no equivalent to Fox News on the left, and the closest thing to OAN or Breitbart is probably TYT
Every news source has a bias, but not every source is equally biased. It's really not that hard to understand, but some people feel the need to oversimplify this stuff so they can "but both sides" to make themselves feel superior.
Definitely true. CNN and MSNBC if they make an error, will likely print a retraction more times than not.
The biggest criticism I have with CNN and MSNBC is, sometimes, they are focused to be the first one to break a news story without carefully vetting their own sources, and in some cases, it does more harm than good. They are definitely not on the level of Fox, OAN, or any of the other right-wing sources out there though, but even then, I try not to use them as my sole source of information. Fox "News" on the other hand, promotes fear and spreads lies with a little truth sprinkled in to pretend they are truthful.
I think the overall issue is just cable news in general. Not all the time we are having "breaking news", so they have to fill timeslots with political contributors who are just essentially sharing opinions all day for the most part. And it just consumes the TV cycle.

I don't believe that Black and Latinos are becoming republican at any real rate either. I am an Afro-Latino with a large family and I know this firsthand.

I've been to Comet Pizza, since I live within driving distance of DC.
Granted, this was probably 7 years ago, so Obama and Hilary were probably more adept at hiding the trafficked toddlers in the basement.
I'd just like to report that while it was pretty good brick oven pizza, it wasn't spectacular. Also, in a MAJOR disappointment, no pineal gland toppings were available.
I heard their sicilian with musk glands of White House interns and pineapple is pretty spectacular though

And I heard that Kale McEnemy is writing the menu! It weighs 7 lbs and is full of unrelated stuff, but food is nowhere to be found in it.

Sharing fraudulently created fake evidence is the behavior of a troll. You don't seem to care whether false "facts" are real or not, because you post them without any concern.
Please tell us you're not trying to be a troll.
What evidence do you have it's fake other than the voices in your head?
Please tell us you're not trying to be a troll.

I couldn't give a **** less about it.

I am quoting Ballsac since I blocked him whenever I see one of the moronic response I quote everything- I agree with you the dude is trolling and seems to lack some critical thinking

I liked how Alec Baldwin said it while playing Trump on the SNL cold open: "We've turned so many corners with the coronavirus, we're back to where we were started in March."

Re: 2020 Presidential Election Thread: The Homestretch... Still
Trolls tend to ignore real data but look for that one source, without credibility, that makes an assertion without any real proof. So when I posted extensive reliable evidence from Fox's WSJ, showing the whole email thing was a fraud, would any troll read it? Or would they be likelier to ignore it, and ask again for a response to some crazy, totally discredited source? That's a good test for seeing whom to block. I've done that, and life is far less annoying.

They sometimes falter from fake factoid troll mode to reveal their true 4Chan self where anything is justifiable as long as their guy keeps power. It is getting hard for them to keep up appearances. They've shown their ugliness over time whether it is their confession that dead elders are just collateral damage, gloating that they love to drink the tears of liberals or admitting they have no problem with wrongfully orphaned children living in cages.
I don't understand how this person is allowed to post on RealGM any longer. They post lies all day long. There should be a line in the sand beyond just putting them on ignore.

Yeah, I'm not going to waste my time anymore with bad faith posters if they don't want to learn.

Well, it might be that he is not a troll in a sense that he wants to just incite disagreement. He might be serious Trump "believer". I know one in real life - my brother is reading all this conspiracy and Breitbart stuff and is sure that Trump will win. I simply smile and do not argue with him. It is useless fight with windmills, I will not convince him (there is no convincing anyone who believes in several conspiracy theories) and of course he will not convince me. He was just visiting me with his little son for a week and I could not wait when he will leave, because he is also a covidiot (somehow these things go hand-in hand).
But, I do not think that it right to ban him, just ignore, it works wonders. If no one will answer, it will be much better punishment IMO.

I met someone at a very blue area park who told me he thinks Trump will win in a landslide.

I appreciate your take on it, because that is my general stance as well in most cases. But I would say your first sentence actually is what a troll is, because they just want conflict however they can get it. And they are definitely a troll according to most of us. Anyway, if we all ignored them that would be great, but most people take the bait so I'm now posting reminders of what this person actually represents which is IMO more than merely benign delusion, but actual malevolence.

I'm going to stay away from Trumpers the rest of the year, because the cognitive dissonance they will be living with when they lose will make some of them prone to angry outbursts replete with paranoid fantasies about how they wuz robbed.
