Well, the problem is that it is left leaning.

Hence, a lot of right leaning stuff is a bit nutty..

Nah, there's been a recent right-wing misinformation campaign to co-opt the issue to drive sentiment, though!

Again, public health should not be a political topic. Right-wing shitbags politicized it, and it's that type of rhetoric that is clearly bad for society, and isn't just "left vs right opinion".

You are confused because the republican party has been co-opted by nutbags.

lmao, a topic literally JUST got modded on here asking "why are you allowed to show support for the GOP on this board", detailing in the body text how showing support for hate groups is usually frowned upon. i posted in it thinking it was only going to be locked, but moments later it was gone from my AMP.

still want to claim that this board has a left leaning bias?

CE has a bias towards decency and common sense (at least more than 50%). That those happen to align with left leaning candidates its pure coincidence.

Most people on CE are confrontational, vitriolic assholes. The only decent thing about a lot of them is they support liberal policies.

Most of them wouldn't go out of their way to show an actual person common decency though.

It's the frequency of how often such moderations occur. Your and other moderations for trashing the right pale in comparison to the fact that CE is so left leaning here that there are topics that if you challenge the status quo, you risk getting modded.

The fact that the poll has grown to the point where 70% believe CE has a left leaning bias with over a 100 votes means you should consider why so many people feel this way.

The most parsimonous explanation for a majority of posters saying that a forum is too "left" or "right" is delusion lol. Otherwise, you would expect those responses to be a minority.

this is no mystery, it's because conservatives have a perpetual victim complex because they can't go around spouting their ignorant and bigoted and hateful views without facing consequences for them like they want to

I think people in general end up leaning more left of center than not, so it follows that the community of CE probably follows that trend.

These topics seem like people on the left think theyre in the wrong. Topics about this board being on the right get like 10 posts, topics about being on the left get hundreds. Like they have to defend themselves. I think these topics are very telling.

I dunno why someone would be opposing that opinion. Its way better to be left leaning than right leaning. imo.
