Sweet nothings are always nice.

Not as nice as beautifully tragic irony is entertaining.

Aka-America.

America rejects your secular puritanism, socialist. REJECTS!

NebraskaFootball · 2018-09-26T14:13:25.342Z

Did you just call @party-free a socialist?

Absolutely. And you’re one too. Socialist.

If that’s what helps you sleep at night keep on believing.

She was a horrible candidate and horribly flawed human being overall.

Nobody’s perfect, but she’s an angel compared to the White House doofus. And she would have been a much better president.

I think the only reason people still think the child in the White House was better is because of their own ego. They don’t wanna admit they got conned.

Isn’t that why we come here? If it wasn’t for the extremism what fun would it be?

Heh. The trolling from some is boring though.

It’s not trolling.

Trump won a rather solid EC count.

Don’t let that spoil your already considerable sour grapes.

He won by 80,000 votes in three states.

0.06% of the total vote.

Just as easy to spot keyboard vomit as it hits the screen from those who loath rules and American values.

There’s no such thing as a unique set of American values.

Exactly…

Nah man. I’m a true original. You can’t put me in a box.

You cant do a two variable analysis of the affect of Russian trolling and the results of the election. It would be one among a thousand variables. Its like correlating my buying a sandwich and the affect on food corporations in the Stock exchange.

Who said anything about a two-variable analysis? And no, the downplay attempt you make here is not really a good analogy. I’ll reserve my judgment on the book after reading it, but I have little doubt in my mind that Russia’s attack in 2016 impacted the election results. To what degree would be impossible to accurately quantify. But a solid analysis can absolutely point to conclusive inferences.

Socialist seems to be a bad word around here. I’m so stunned I forgot to pet my dog.

Welcome to the board. Yeah, it is used as a slur around these parts by resident trolls who decide they no longer wish to contribute anything of substance to conversations.

In my circle of friends, calling oneself a socialist is normal, but there’s a bit of rebellion to it, as if their declaration has “. . . and I don’t care what you think!” as an implied ending. The true rebel or two I know identifies as anarcho-something, with the “something” changing week by week.

They are tremendous at parties, but they never BYOB. I’m tempted to point this out, but I think it will lead to a political discussion in which I am at the disadvantage, and I don’t like being wrong about bringing booze to parties.

I’d say this place is not indicative of your circle of friends then. Because here it seems like I’m the only one who ever has any good beer.
