Congrats to you then? This dude over here championing cable news ratings like his team won. I bet the sun is shining just a bit brighter for you today. Big victory!
Didnt read all that bc you generally don't make sense. I skimmed it and will address 1 part, I'm not writing a thesis. You say new voter laws are about having ID? GA new law has 98 pages! It takes 98 pages to say have an ID? Nothing about reducing hours, no voting on Sundays, 1 Dropbox for BFE and 1 also for Atlanta? You are a joke. You are misguided and only know talking points. You think this is still the 60s and hippies on campuses are having a heyday. Sit down and learn to think for yourself instead of spouting talking points boy
Someone is still upset with Georgia’s voting laws? Wow. No wonder a CNN thread is triggering.
The craziest thing to me is that if JC Cats and JoeSwag saw one another in public with no other knowledge of one another, they'd likely be courteous to each other. This is what the ******** CNN and Fox Entertainment's of the world are doing to us.
It's more important to score points with some half assed argument you're regurgitating from someone else anyway than actually have a discourse about the issues. You two aren't even debating the issues, you're just spouting opposite ends of the same septic tank.

Actually, and what my earlier post was, is that “CNN and Fox is doing to us” isn’t even true. Literally less than 2% of the nation even watches. More people watch a Wednesday night college basketball game than the totality of MSNBC, Fox, and CNN. It’s just a massively loud extremely small minority of dipshits. How many people even vote? Like less than half? Politics is not that big a deal for most people and most people get along fine. The political nuts are just batshit insane and some of the loudest people on here. I always suspected that but that ratings article confirmed it. Imagine if 50% of the US cared about politics and watched fox/cnn. This country would be hell on earth.
But they still drive a narrative that becomes the talking points to pull others in. I think Irish hit it on the head. They put forth their entertainment to achieve the highest possible ROI. These days that seems to be driving a narrative that is divisive so people feel like they have to pick a side. It's disgusting but it works. A lot of that is likely due to the MSM carrying the water for whoever politician. As long as it's R's and D's then rest assured the best interest of the bottom line is to milk that for all it's worth as long as there isn't another option that gives people another choice- which is much easier with a compliant MSM.
In 2014 36% of registered voters even voted. The highest turnout of voters since 1914 was in 2018 - 49%. Yes it’s divisive and awful - for the weirdo political nuts. Most people don’t give a ****. Out of those 36% voters in 2014 I bet half or more are moderate. This board has politics confined to one single thread. Politics is over-emphasized on this board. Again, if it wasn’t and most people in America were really into politics, this country would be absolute hell on earth.
In America, not where you apparently come from, education is paid for by your local property taxes...you know, like by those of us with a house. Take a civics lesson or better yet.... Ask mom, she can explain how it works. So here in the US if we don't like the education system we petition our school boards to FIX IT. You vote in patriots who will bring Charter Schools to KY. We vote the Groomers out and vote in who we think will do better. Like teaching STEM.
You clearly have NO self-awareness. Banning or cancelling is the Leftist playbook.
The Five drew an average total audience of 3.676 million viewers. FNC swept the top five shows for the quarter, with The Five followed by Tucker Carlson Tonight (3.617 million viewers), Jesse Watters Primetime (3.124 million viewers), Hannity (3.057 million viewers) and Special Report with Bret Baier (2.72 million viewers).
What Wed night college basketball game would that be? Making ish up again?
Recent UK-Auburn game ranks second for college hoops season
The January 22 Kentucky-Auburn men’s college basketball game averaged a 1.5 rating and 2.48 million viewers on CBS, marking the second-largest audience of the season on any network. Gonzaga-Duke drew 2.79 million on ESPN the night after Thanksgiving. The Tigers’ win, which led into CBS NFL playoff coverage, trounced the competing Syracuse-Duke matchup on ESPN in the same window (0.7, 1.04M).

I mean if you gave me a choice of never watching CNN again, or never eating potato salad again, I'd gladly block CNN on my cable box.
They've done studies where they have half a classroom of preschoolers where blue shirts and the other half red shirts. After a few weeks they start self segregating and develop ingroup biases. Not segregating into groups goes against our human nature.
I loathe the media and know exactly what it is. I do not watch Fox but I know that's usually the target because it's the only other network that isn't putting out the DNC talking point (instead you get like 70% GOP talking point).
My point is that leftism is a religion. They're more faithful and obedient to their dogma and agenda than Christians are. Ha. I couldn't give a **** what your politics are but there is a group who becomes unhinged and acts hysterical at whatever the latest talking point and topic they're fed and the ability to pivot is remarkable.
Conservatives and libertarians hear the left's views and lectures all day long in every industry as they control the megaphones of our society's most influential industries--academia, TV/Newspaper media, entertainment, and tech. They don't lose their **** and try to prevent them from ever speaking. Meanwhile, the opposite occurs constantly.
Like I said, one side wants to be left alone and the other side will not leave you alone and then they freak out if you object to the **** they constantly push on you. No, I don't want your shot. "REEEEE! We're gonna get you fired!" No I don't want to wear your mask anymore. "REEEEEEE" No, I'm not going to play along and pretend that dude is a woman. "REEE" No, I don't think I'm cool with you talking about sexuality to my first grader behind my back. "REEEEEEEEEE"
That is a survival mechanism. Distrust/trust those who look like us. It is instinct. Darwinian.
Because the red shirts realize that they are paying for their own education while the blue shirts try to force the red shirts to pay for theirs.
Yeah, well, try going to a college and living in a major city and see how any opposing view is treated. Because I assure you, it's definitely not Choice A.
Look at this reaction from people upset that you don't want them to pray for you.
Oh, no, those are just some small example of hundreds of instances of a leftist becoming unhinged at someone getting to speak an opposing view on campus.
Let me know when a leftist needs security from Christians/conservatives just to speak to a group of people on campus.
Shapiro!

Cool.
You: Left bad, right good
Me: F em both
That’s the difference, my friend.
Also, I’d probably swing on Shapiro if I ever saw him, not for his bad political takes, but just for being an insufferable prude who didn’t get laid until he was damn near 30. That dude seems about as fun as a dual sided sandpaper condom.
I know how socialism works, I said if you don't like the system home school your kids. Groomers is your talking point, Look at Rep lawmaker who groomed his 21 yo now wife in Tenn We need socialism for Universal healthcare alsoI m not for charter schools, and I think you mean Russian not Patriot
A couple of points, if I may:
1) Those numbers are pretty similar.
2) My entire point was that less than 2% of America watches or cares, which your numbers confirm
3) Nobody cares, nobody watches. Politics are dumb. Deal with it.
You guys are severely underestimating the ability of these modern radical democrats to raise alarm, disgust, and even hatred solely from their policies and actions. No MSM or other spin is required.
Just a few years ago, even most democrats would be horrified to hear what their party would become.
The media can amplify it, but if you are a rational being who cares about the future of your country for your family, their policies and actions tell you all you need to know.

This thread: The left is a cult who lives in an echo chamber and hates differing opinions
Someone expresses different opinion: Conservative Dog pile with name calling and paragraphs and paragraphs of drivel and whataboutisms. Y’all MFs not realize you’re posting in a political echo chamber here at CatPaw?
For those of us who don’t own Biden flags or MAGA hats and view 100 percent of their lives through the left/right lens, the lack of self awareness is evident.

Geez, what a ***** fest. You could've just saved yourself a lot of time and just said that you think the side you disagree with is the problem and your side is correct. No bonus points for the large *** meme you took from social media.
Your points being: More people watch a Wednesday night college basketball game than the totality of MSNBC, Fox, and CNN.
Those numbers are pretty similar? Well if by similar you mean they have numbers in them and not alpha characters.
I just posted JUST Fox totals and didnt even post the TOTALITY of the three. Had I decided to make your point ridiculous I would have added them up and compared it to the TOP and SECOND highest rated games of the regular season.
The avg fox totals are +20% higher than even the highest of the Duke/Zag or ours with AU. So your point is wildly off the mark. I have no idea what your average Wed night game drew but it may have been 50% less than the Fox News networks ratings without including the TOTALITY.
So...I explained in my earlier contextual debunk of your number that you are wrong so why double down? I love college basketball and care about it. Do you state that less than 2% of Americans watches college basketball which your numbers confirm.

Cool little image you have there. You could literally replace that with Trump flags (which can still be found everywhere instead of, ya know, the US flag), a series of anti-vax memes and clothing lines and Putin's sickle and hammer, amigo.
I agree that the left has gone too far with their approach in how to handle the LGBTQ community but your other points have no bearing. A business makes a decision about whether or not you can be fired for not taking a shot. Smart businesses strayed and Biden used the Fed to temporarily distract from how poorly Afghanistan went. He was never going to mandate vaccines through OSHA cause that **** wouldn't stand up in court.
By the way, the right isn't much better with it's fringe bills. Texas arrested a woman for what some are reporting as a still birth last week. Meanwhile our former VP signed a bill while governor of Indiana requiring the full burial/crematory services of miscarriages. FOH with all of this ****.

mustard based tater salad is good too
I’m glad I’m not the only one. Both cults are a religion to some. Both think they’re absolutely correct and the other is the “enemy”
Classic 2 Spidermen “No u” meme is appropriate here.
You also have people decrying echo chambers … in a f’n echo chamber.
Anyone who posts here who isn’t staunchly conservative is instantly branded as a “leftist” and anyone who professes to not have a side is called a liar and a leftist. That’s cult like behavior.
You want the list of radicalized right wingers that have carried out mass shootings in the past 5 years?
The media, and people that think like you do that they pander to, are the absolute cause of it.
There's nothing rational about the way you are generalizing things.
WTF? How does any of this relate to my post? I simply said that consuming media spin isn't required to know that the policies and actions of the current democrats are abhorrent.
Sounds like you're spinning a leftist opinion for the NYC shooter, of which I never even mentioned.
Your words also stated that those policies are raising alarm, disgust etc. in those that adhere religiously, which is actively happening on both sides of the aisle (I.E. crazy white dudes writing manifestos and shooting up schools, churches and sometimes public speeches by senators). I'm drawing a comparison as the left also has a few of the same type (dude who shot up the congressional softball game, that weirdo cuck that shotup Ohio, BLM riots, anime nerds attacking people on campuses). Both need to stop, but they won't.
I'm stating that the rhetoric coming from Washington from both aisles is poisonous. You're incapable of acknowledging anything "non-right" as problematic.
If you're looking for some left-wing nutjob, I ain't your huckleberry.
Took majority of my life to realize that the people who self identify as liberal or conservative are the same people. Genuinely believe they are the problem with American politics. If in a conversation, whether in real world or the internet, and you want to tell people who you vote for or who other people should vote for, you can **** off. It’s none of your business.
What's crazy to me is that people can be, please forgive this horrible wording, so damn binary. Like, I think it's foolish to spend the type of money our government spends on half the **** we're actively pursuing while also thinking that people should be free to do whatever the hell they want.
I'm sure that's what Libertarianism was trying to achieve but it's gotten lost in the woods along the way. My opinions also change shades over time. I feel like these people were told that "GAY IS OK OR ELSE" or "GOD, COUNTRY, FAMILY" from day one and never waivered.
That ain't living.
I don't think you really want to do a political scorecard comparison of violence. You're clearly a lefty and you'd lose that one. I don't have time for that right now and wasn't even trying to go there. Find somebody else for that tangent if you insist.
Again, democrat policies and actions are batshit crazy at face value. It doesn't take a "religious" devotion to basic values of a healthy society to realize it and hate how it is negatively affecting our country. I'm sorry if you're embarrassed by what's come of your party.
