CE's been shifting to the left for a while now.

Especially since all the chuds keep getting banned and can't post here right away due to the Karma gate.

i avoid all the political topics for the most part so it seems pretty left leaning to me

There's definitely a lot less right wing trolls around now. This place was insufferable during the Trump years.

I only visit CE and the three current gen system boards. Of all those CE is the only one where I dont really have anyone tagged as a chud and its the only of the four where not everything is apparently woke and terrible.

Current events is left leaning, even we don't all agree on shit, the average IQ of the room at least seems higher compared to console boards or sports pages

Yeah. People not immediately being able to Abe Simpson their way back through to keep spewing far right garbage cuts things down dramatically.

None of the users have drifted further left, but the board has by virtue of the bannings.

right wingers have been getting rarer for years now on here because someone finally decided to clean that shit up and ban them, thats the only real change. there is no real increase in leftist stuff though, if anything its been moving more towards the center since biden was elected

idk, I was getting moderated a lot more 2 - 3 years ago than I do now. Maybe that was the cleanup era you're referring to

last time I had an account was a few years ago. compared to back then, it's slightly more left leaning.
I'd say overall, it's about the same, but there doesn't seem to be as many trolls now. they still exist, but it seems like they've either calmed down or left. so, because of that, it's slightly more left overall.

It's mostly because conservative posters keep getting banned for their "conservative views."

Its nice to have a board where arguing against human rights gets moderated.
Hasn't been that way in Israel/Palestine topics.

So not all leftist ideas are welcomed here.
Frequently modded for saying violence and apartheid is bad, actually.

No change really. A bit less of both extremes, but the average hasn't moved much.

CE is left leaning, but it's a cool balance to ask the right leaning media these days. Seems like right leaning is the norm now.

I'm personally neutral. My political thoughts and opinions don't fit in the right left paradigm

I dont even need to look at the topic to safely guess that the general sentiment is the same as its always been: Bidens support for Israel sucks, and we do not like it , but the alternative is infinitely worse and were mature enough to understand that throwing our toys on the floor and refusing to play is worse than useless.

A lot of hard-core Trump posters folded up their tents in late 2020 early 2021.

They had run their mouths and gloated about the orange traitor doing the legislative equivalent of taking a giant diarrhea shit all over the Oval Office desk for four years, and then talked mad shit about "Sleepy Joe" and how Trump would be reelected easily.

They were NOT keen about lining up for some crow with a side of humble pie, and then after January 6th a lot of them were banned for gloating about that too.

He was defending JK Rowling during her genocide denial saying that there weren't LGBT & Trans people that died during WW2, so they couldn't say it was a Holocaust for some inane reason even though we know Germany killed anyone they could get their hands on. He got warned for only two days for genocide denial, his mask fucking slipped that day & he got off real easy for his behavior

Yeah we know JK Rowling is a bigot, didn't think Torgo against all challengers would go to defend her denying the Holocaust of Jewish people & beyond. Should have acreenshotted it but I'd get hit for showing off what he was saying, you can go find that JK Rowling thread from a few days ago and see all the swathes of posts of his that got purged

I don't know CE well enough to gauge that, however I will say as a long-time politics board resident that presidential election years always bring right-wingers out of the woodworks who I had either never seen post before or seldom did so.

Sucks to suck. Maybe on whatever site he frequents now he's learned not to brag about being at January 6th and personally seeing BLM & AntiFa instigating the violence.

I kinda hope not, scrub that fucker off the Internet as far as I'm concerned.
