Why is DebatePolitics so right wing dominated?

I know that I may be more left of center than the average American, but Debate Politics is FARRRRR right of the average American. Most accounts either lean "conservative" or "libertarian," while in real life the U.S is mostly moderate or progressive.

I thought that reddit was already far too right wing, because of it's hate for women, people of color, and love of guns. Little did I know that reddit had NOTHING compared to the extreme right wing bias of this forum?

Can anybody tell me why this forum is so dominated by conservative users, and why for every progressive forward thinking person on here, there are two or three who call Obama "evil" and think that the Nazis were left wing?

well right off I would say there are some left leaners here

I am socially left but fiscally slightly right

it's difficult for me to actually pinpoint myself politically in relation to most here as I am Canadian and as such would be far more left leaning than most here

gotta tell you also I am super impressed by your responses to the attacks sent your way

you certainly threatened the hive... :mrgreen:

Are you kidding me? You profess to be socialist, i.e. left of center politically - why does it surprise you that most anywhere are to the right of you politically?

we have massive protests going on in almost in every american city but there isn't a single member of this forum who belongs to BLM. why is that?

Because BLM people don't spend much time on the Internet other then Twitter?

If you think Debate Politics is dominated by the right-wing, obviously you haven't been to the majority of political sites on the internet.

Actually, this site is pretty representative of the public at large. You just spend too much time at sheltered sites, which is misleading you into thinking the US is a left leaning country. At the risk of crushing your spirit, you may want to get out more.

if that were true there would be atleast one person from BLM

as oppose to here?

I didn't say there wasn't naive, sheltered white folk here too. You must have missed the thread on race relations yesterday, the amount of white amnesia and denialism was too damn high.

The anti-Obama brigade was working double time in that thread.

hey thats your opinion and we can debate that if you wish, but theres nobody here who belongs to that group, therefore this a right wing website, it might be more obvious if you weren't so bias yourself

Not being part of BLM isn't an indicator of being right wing, stop saying stupid ****.

There are viable arguments, I'm sure, you could make that DP is disproportionately right wing, which I think it is in terms of race relations. But a lack of BLM membership isn't one of them.

Well you are coming in as far Left and you don't seem to grasp the concept very well. I've never heard anyone call the Nazis right wing before. They were Socialists and they ended up as most left wing experiments do, as a fascist state.

Ya just do not know what you speak of friend................

Not really. This website has a pretty diverse membership. There's no bias one way or the other.

Except to little kids who are so far to one side that they can't even see the other side from there.

dimensionallava said:
you want me to name 95% of the forum?

Yup. You're making the claim, it's your job to back it up. Make sure you prove your accusations.

We all know you'll wimp out.

Exactly. I wouldn't have joined this website if it was a right-wing cess pool. Or even a left-wing cess pool.

I don't like echo chambers.

Yeah? It's certainly not my fault if they aren't interested in debating politics.

seriously

who the hell would reveal that in here

it would be pointless

most can't grasp the concept of BLM not meaning everyone else doesn't matter

they would be butchered

Yea, because that's your only method of debate other than dodging.

This is the guy you want to listen too, he's so far right he's reverted to hard left. SHHHHH don't tell him that though, he'll get grumpy and toss lots of ................................. . . ....................... ....................... ........................... ....................... into his posts. In 20 years he hasn't figured out that ellipsis lose their power when used more then... in a post.

You prove my point.....

why do real racists always demand that you "prove it", while people who have been falsely accused of racism rarely respond and never deny it?

its weird huh?
