mobiusptc:

support mean …, you continue to agree with his policies, stances, and action

But I oppose as many as I support.

So do I support the man?

I “like” pizza.

By “like,” I mean that if I see it, I would eat it.

But I’m not going to marry pizza. Pizza is not my friend.

I don’t send Xmas cards to pizza.

But the smell of pizza makes my stomach growl.

Now you’re just derailing your own thread.

It really is a poll about shame.

Grassroots · 2019-01-03T23:32:00.656Z

You better consult your magic 8-ball.

The purpose of the thread is the poll. I understand at this point that conversation is meaningless.

if you are willing to vote for him…pretty much. not complicated

Sewell · 2019-01-03T23:34:18.519Z

Every person on the planet who votes for a person supports that person.

This isn’t difficult.

Anyone who finds this concept difficult is barred from participating in the poll.

It’s really not that important.

Jesus, I just wanted to take the temperature of the forum.

And your thread is pretty representative of how it goes on this board, so you have your temperature.

Someone doesn’t buck up to the way libs want him to respond, and a dozen libs pile on in attack mode.

Grassroots · 2019-01-03T23:35:58.994Z

All this pretending that you oppose a significant amount of his policy, while straight up stating you would vote for him again regardless of having any idea of his potential opponents policies.

Real tough one there…

Grassroots · 2019-01-03T23:37:13.888Z

Not our fault everyone else is hiding out in shame…

Sewell · 2019-01-03T23:38:01.993Z

As the poll stands at this moment, and counting the votes of our chaotic neutral folks, 90 percent of forumers-!!!(???)!!!–did not vote for Trump and do not support Trump.

These results in a forum sponsored by one of Trump’s biggest supporters in the universe?

Quite staggering.

In reality, I think the proportion of Trump supporters to TDS Sufferers is probably more in the region of 20-80.

Still, an overwhelming outcome.

I didn’t want you to vote. You didn’t vote. I’m fine with any nitpicking you choose to do in the Irrelevant Comments sections of my poll.

Define “define”

All this pretending that you oppose a significant amount of his policy, while straight up stating you would vote for him again regardless of having any idea of his potential opponents policies.

The question pitted him against a dem. (Or at least my response did.)

There isn’t a dem out there in whose politics I could find enough redeeming value.

I also said I would rather have a different GOP candidate.

You know what all that means, but you pretend to imply something quite different.

See, that’s the point of my request to define “support”. On this board, among the lib contingent, it means all or nothing. I think it has become quite clear what it means in this thread.

And, as Sewell has pointed out, it’s about shame. All or nothing suggests I also support things that are quite shameful about the man and about some of the things he has done as president. And shame on me for “supporting” those things too.

(Which just makes the point of this thread another attack thread – one among many on this board.)

Grassroots · 2019-01-03T23:43:28.368Z

You must drive people nuts picking a place for dinner.

Sewell · 2019-01-03T23:45:44.648Z

Now the inability of Trump supporters to respond to a simple thread, inaction which made me speculate that this poll is really about shame, has transformed my thread into an “attack thread.”

Think about that.

Simply noticing that Trump supporters have failed to respond to the poll makes the thread an attack thread.

Somehow, by doing nothing at all, they are using my neutral poll to attack themselves.

PC Culture to the forty-third power!

Asking if you support Donald Trump is now an attack? LOL!

Grassroots · 2019-01-03T23:48:31.592Z

It is quite amazing, a simple poll and one of the only people who might actually vote for supporting Trump needs a dissertation on the meaning of “support” before he even considers voting.

SHAME

You know that’s not what I said.
