I hope nobody does a search of my post history. Its pretty garbage.

Hey, everyone makes mistakes! People can change as well, but okay a post history from a week ago has a very good chance of being up to date beliefs.

Trumps post history on GAF would be something else. Bet he would be a fan of FF13 as well.

PoliGAF was exceedingly pro-Hillary and many of its posters constantly clashed with Bernie supporters in OT. But that doesn't mean NeoGAF is a far left site.

We have a number of socialists, communists, and anarchists, but they're drowned out by the amount of liberals (which is not far left) here.

Just look at that thread where people freaked out when they realized they'd have to pay higher taxes if Bernie's Healthcare plan went through.

I don't think anyone actually hated Bernie, just the Bernie or Busters and I recall posting in the DNC thread teasing a girl for being one and some didn't take too kindly to my behavior (and were in the right considering how far it went)
I'm also now dating that same girl

Bernie was great, then you know he lost the primary and Hilary was great too. Maybe not exactly what I was looking for but solid none-the-less.

Maybe if there were any conservatives left who knew how to have rational discussions, it wouldn't be this way. Trump supporters are by and large incapable of truthfully and rationally discussing anything without disinformation, lies, and diversion tactics.

I expect conservatives and alt-right/Trump supporters are in a deep minority everywhere they go online that isn't explicitly dedicated to encouraging safe space, sycophantic discussion for conservative, alt-right/Trump supporters. To that end it makes sense to me that every internet domain that permits a free and open exchange of ideas looks like a liberal echo chamber.

(because conservative ideas get dogpiled and rightfully binned at the earliest chance)

Okay let's not be that way. Unless you mean specifically on GAF
Edit:Actually no, not even then

I completely agree. GAF is the purest definition of a far-left echo chamber on the internet, right next to those small, sheltered Tumblr communities.

Trump sucks, yeah. He's unfit for president, and he's a terrible human being. But, you wouldn't dare speak out against Hilary during the '16 election here. IIRC, any threads even vaguely critical of Hillary were locked.

Inb4 I get banned and/or lynched for this post

As a marginalized minority, the notion that gaf is far left is sadly hilarious to me. Gaf ain't far left. As a whole, gaf is far more moderate than it likes to think at times.

You're very #edgy with your spoiler tho

Pretty much ...... Trump isn't going anywhere we are stuck with this turd

The CNN/Trump spat is about Trump calling out CNN as fake news when he himself is lying events CNN reported on.

He is trying to use his lie to discredit media as a whole and trying to use it as an example to revoke news companies from his press conferences.

Problem is, the IC, President, and Vice President are calling him out on it- CNN didn't lie nor did they report fake news.

This is not what could take Trump down, but is important to highlight his character to the public.

I think the main "problem", if you will, is that the majority of GAF is varying degrees of left - I'm European centrist myself, so I have more in common with socialists than with American republicans, which makes finding common ground much more difficult, especially on the internet.

I'm quite sure there's at least a few American conservatives on here that despise Trump as much as you and I do. We can all unite behind how terrible of a human being he is (and the public agrees - he already has bottom of the barrel approval ratings)

There are lots of rational conservatives across the internet.

They just aren't Trump supporters.

If I'm being truthful, I have never/very rarely met a rational conservative in my life. When it comes to ethical matters on human rights they're consistently off the mark. And when it comes to economics they screw over millions for the "job creators".

A number of posters say things like "yaass queen" in hillary threads and vocally support her and suddenly "GAF" is nothing but Hillary shills. Confirmation bias?

I was never a fan of Hillary.

and gods forbid if you were/are a Bernie supporter and said something negative about her.

It's fucking hilarious when people state that GAF is "far-left." GAF is so far and away from far left, have any of ya'll actually stepped outside of off-topic threads and ventured into the more prolific Gaming Discussion threads about female and POC representation in the gaming industry? That alone just shows that GAF is solidly a moderate forum, the only left-leaning posters on GAF are typically the moderators, but the userbase alone does not qualify it as left-leaning at all.

Indeed. This site is as centrist as Obama and Hillary. If that is enough to make someone lose their shit crying about "far left thugs" nailing you and your own to a cross, then maybe you should just permanently log off and stick to making "Amirox is a FAG" comments on Youtube videos linked by Neogaf.

Pretty much, we even had one in this very thread and shout out to him for being cool about it, and I'm sure there are large swaths of others. Us being dicks about all conservatives is no better than Mr.Dirty Radical Liberals.

Nonsense.

People hated on Hillary all the time in both the 2008 and 2016 primaries. Valid criticisms were fine. I think it's just that Trump was so uniquely terrible and dangerous for the country, as he has already proven before even being inaugurated, that it was simply ridiculous to suggest that people should vote for him.

There were plenty of McCain and Romney fans around in their respective elections. It's just that to support Donald Trump is to support the kind of behavior that is bannable around here.

Are people still hating on Amirox? He was demodded before I even started posting here, and that was years ago. What did he even do to piss them off?

Now what's the next step in your master plan?

Maybe one day people will be hating on me in youtube videos linked by GAF. A man can dream

Seriously quite re litigating the primaries, or elections or whatever. Keep the topic on hand.



Conway fucking lied all over TV and this new report just called out all of that shit. Trump was briefed. He saw it. He claimed all of this was false when Comey himself talked to him. This is what happens when you shit on the media, the IC, and then straight up lie. Karma fucking catches up.

Can't wait to see what happens tomorrow when the House gets briefed on the Russia hacking.

Would be amazing if we could Anderson v. Conway 2.0 tonight.

I wonder what will happen.
It really looks as though the IC has something tangible here.
 
Lol being against a racist, homophobe, liar and incompetent piece of shit for president is being a "far left echo chamber". It's not that difficult to see the amount of hillary support.

Posters would come in to Hillary threads with what equates to the 4chan news over and over again.

I talked shit about the woman without being dog piled because I didn't get links from stormfront. Decency usually does have a pretty big following. There was a lot at stake this election, people were passionate about it. Others, stubborn to send a message with their vote, would debate round and round on why they're ultimately letting trump win the presidency.

But people need to stop pretending you'd be banned out right for now following some party line.

The neogaf ban line has always been the same. Don't talk bullshit, then try to act like it's legitimate.

Or any thread about the capital punishment. NeoGAF is not far left by any means.
