Poll of the Day > Dude, why is everyone so psycho on the politics board.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Like holy shit.

I say that I disagree with Biden immigration policy, and everyone just goes apeshit on me.

Like wtf.

Because its an echo-chamber. You're not allowed to question or slightly disagree with something.

I avoid politics. Not only do that not interest me at all but the so called discussions are pointless as nobody will change their mind or views. It's like pissing into the wind.

What's your disagreement?

Im willing to change my mind and views, so you can talk to me about it.

Not a disagreement persay, but I pointed out Biden's "brilliant" voter strategy by having illegals become citizens and having 11 million democratic voters for Democrats.

Those illegal citizens do more work than many birth citizens.

So?

That's some odd bolding.

If they provided me with a decent wage, then yes, I would consider doing it for a job.

They aren't guaranteed to vote democrat. They could vote republican if the republicans pushed for policy that made their lives better

Do you understand? It's almost as if you're trying to make it sound easy but yet you're not explaining anything. You can't know anything if you can't explain it.

Legit not trying to be a dingus, but it drives me nuts how many people don't know it's per se. The only way to fight back is to politely mention that XD

Carry on!

You can have productive discussions if the person is willing to engage what you're saying.

sunny is being unbearably smug as usual but he's basically correct. undocumented immigrants typically pay more taxes and fill more jobs that natural citizens don't want to do. the produce industry is incredibly guilty of doing this because it's a way to get cheap intensive labor from people who are less likely to complain about being mistreated

I think that everyone that isn't crazy is afraid of that board, which just leaves the people who enjoy full on raging 24/7

It's like the polar opposite of an echo chamber.

so if someone is breaking the law, but working we should just ignore it?

the whole "they are willing to work for low wages!" arguement is bullshit. farms pay that low because they can get labor for that cheap. if they couldn't get illegal labor, they would raise wages

Yes!

And given our countries current predicament, Americans need all the jobs that they can get.

thedeerzord posted...

They say they want to give illegals citizenship because deep down they're Americans and the United States was founded upon immigration. That's a lie.

The real reason they're doing it is because its an automatic majority for Democrats, because illegals will vote for the party that is pro open borders and giving every single illegal handouts and citizenship. We might as well just merge our Mexico and the United States into one country at this point.

And there it is what you actually said

The Republicans should focus more on making better policy that more people like. But.. they'd rather stick to disenfranchisement and voter suppression.

Keep in mind too, more legal citizens means more people paying taxes. I don't think I've ever seen more than a few stray Dems clamor for "open borders" as the right wing fear propaganda goes.

I can understand some of your questioning. I frequent the place and I got with many of the discussions that are held, but it IS a very blue board.

people don't even like me being there, and i acted in-character

Politics is something that makes people act all ape-shit crazy over any little disagreement. Kirk vs. Picard (SISKO!) is more tame and I think you'll find Star Wars fans less divided over the sequel trilogy than politics since both sides at least agree Jar Jar sucks and Mandolorian is awesome.

Must be nice to have the privilege that political decisions don't affect your life enough for you to need to care

That board seriously needs a different title...preferably one that addresses how the whole place is full of crazies.

Saw another topic where a guy said its not okay to riot.

About two pages in the crazies there are saying pretty horrible stuff about the op and have seemed to already assumed or REALLY want to assume is political leaning.

They need meds...its hilarious because they all seem pretty concerned about corona over there. But I guess thier medical concerns only go far enough to be for diseases that also have had politics involved...not thier own brain damage.

Politics much like racial inequality, has always been a polarizing issue so that won't change anytime soon.

Works for California. Well, that and those Dominion voting machines.

It, like politics itself, is a warzone for cults.

Thats just how the politics have been as a whole in this country. the leaders are so polar opposites that it has made our civilians behave the same way.

I remember going on that board voicing an opinion and i was immediately called a fascist nazi and to burn in hell.

Idk about you but I've never been called a fascist nazi for my opinions

Maybe reevaluate your stances if that's a thing you're running into

But they refuse to work because the government will pay them to not work.

Americans are the laziest employees.

If only republicans didnt treat immigrants like trash, they could get all the conservative Catholics to vote for them.

Or they could could immigrate legally like over a million do every year.

Oh it is. It's very freeing to have my mind think about more important things such as if I'll poop today or not. You should try it.

the politics board is fucking garabage. you say anything negative about a single non-right wing politician and they jump down your throat saying youre altright or whatever. theyre a bunch of fuckin idiots over there.

most who come here illegally live in squalor or are homeless, it's not easy to find a place to live when you have no papers or identification after all, but the reason they do that is because they had it much worse where they came from.

also, to proper immigrate, it costs around $11,000+ to actually become a us citizen, it doesn't take into account attorney fees, which you do need, it also doesn't take into account the classes you need to take which also cost money, then you have general living fees on top of all of that, or that you get disqualified if you make a single mistake on your applications or tests, including missing a period or comma in a written test. and if you fail, you get to spend all that money again.

oh, and until recently, applicants would just get failed regardless. that's what happens with a xenophobic president who tells USCIS to fail everyone, i suppose.

Dude I got moderated for trolling for saying the Democrats should have done more to smeer Kavanaugh. Seriously. That place is fucking nuts.

---

I wonder, between the two parties democrats are less likely to do stuff to get banned than traitors. Maybe all the traitors are on vacations.

I really like talking about politics, but actually talking about it tends to bring out people's toxic tendencies. I can't really have a real conversation about anything with my 64 year old roommate without him switching topics around wildly just to present some weird new thing I haven't heard of.

Well, I don't really agree with your assertation. George W Bush even wanted to offer a path to citizenship for those people, but the Republicans are now driven by people not of that view. They live in the fucking country, in my opinion. Some Republicans think wanting to deport 11 million people is a normal train of thought - I don't think so.

Yeah...the funniest thing is when they make topics that say "to any repubs/supporters of something I don't like, answer my honest question..." If one answers, they get flamed and modded.

They actually WANT people they don't agree with to show up there...so they can find ways to subsequently mod them and vent all their psycho hate.

Or maybe they make those kinds of topics because they realize that if none of those people showed up there ever...they'd truly become the group of angry men children screaming in a room to themselves that the rest of the site already knows they are.

BTW...and non-surprisingly...even insinuating to them that they really are an echo chamber and a lone liberal leaning board that mostly just agrees with themselves...yeah that's also moddable there. They don't even enjoy that very basic reality being presented to them.

There are corners of the internet that you just got to avoid at the end of the day. GFAQs politics is one of them...I guess the only defense is that they aren't absolutely the WORST place on the internet, just in the top ten.

There is a legal process to do so that millions undertake every year. Coming here illegally makes a mockery of that system. Whats the point of waiting and studying hard on your citizenship test and applying properly when some guy can just hop the fence and get amnesty?
