"Stupid lefty garbage" is the kind of ignorance I'd expect on Breitbart, not a gay porn site. This sort of thing is what makes me want to avoid the forums altogether.
If you can't stomach all the ugliness inherent to politics, both Left and Right, I would suggest you avoid the Political forums and thread carefully in the General News one.
There are really good subforums with interesting topics, I personally like the Movie one and would wish the Stuff Around the House subforum had more visitors. 😄
The only thing I've learned from interacting in the Politics forum is that most Americans are assholes and the Left sucks as much as the Right. I actually found out my political views fall more in line with what they call 'Libertarian', a mix of both.
Politics is a sport now. A vicious one at that. A vicious form of entertainment. It sells, so they'll keep on coming, the propaganda, the drama, the lies and what-shit.
PS. I'm not from America, really, so… I just hope I didn't sound too dumb. ^-^
Nah…you hit the nail right on the head. This is a circus now and people allow their feelings and political correctness to guide them. I only care about US politics since I'm from Mexico, and we have to deal with their shenanigans, Democrat or Conservative.
