So, that’s fun for all those suckers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might know more what they are doing in the next election, and what they can get away with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanpapi posted original material, not just clippings. And I'm not sure he would be so slavishly devoted to Putin. Maroth4MVP was just vile, and probably too stupid to post links.

No, I didn't think it was one of them and I don't have an idea of know who it is. It just seems odd that someone would troll a small pollitical forum on a sports site so aggressively if there wasn't something personal going on. There was a retired guy from Florida (ex school principal?) who used to constantly post crazy conspiracy theory links about Obama at the beginning of his presidency, but I doubt it's him.

Tigerbomb13 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Anyone remember LooseGoose? That’s who his posts remind me of a bit. He would post articles like DPS and not really follow up with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember he occasionaly let his rightwingedness slip, but not often. Was Mr Krabs his avatar? Yes. And his stuff was generally mild. I try to give some people the benefit of the doubt on here in terms of their situation. He could have been 75 years old and a widow and this gave him an outlet. We had an uncle that lived in CA. I only met him a few times. It was my wife's uncle, her dad's oldest sister's husband. He never came around much and since they lived out there that was even less opportunity to do so. But still, when she would come back he never would. He did come to a reunion and we bonded immediately. He reminded me of my dad. We went out there one year and we spent a lot of time together. His daughter's teased me, calling me their brother. He was a retired truck driver who moved out there in 1955 and would point out "this is the working man's neighborhood". (Average house price now is close to $1M) and he volunteered at an exotic animal rescue and was learning to use "the computer" He spammed me nearly every day to an old email account I used. When he passed away a few days later I went into that account and saw all of them, including one about a week before he died wishing me a happy birthday. That hurt a little. It was just a dormant account I only used for ticket sales. But he was on facebook so we kept in touch that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta say, love being told by a guy that marinates in Russian propaganda apparently on a daily basis that I, guy who lives in a 50/50 neighborhood in a 50/50 county in a state that Donald Trump won and works in a pretty conservative workplace/industry, engages in "groupthink"... PigSnuggler probably needs to look in the mirror a little bit. Edited May 9, 2023 by mtutiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PigSnuggler probably needs to look in the mirror a little bit. Talking to the troll about the nuances of policy is like talking to a phone sex worker about how the phone company billing process works. He don't care. He's just pushing his agenda. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtutiger Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Something to watch with polling: the breakdown between national polling and state polling. The latter has tended to be friendlier to Dems/Biden since the last Midterm cycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasfh Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Yeah, I wasn’t buying that ABC Trump +7 any more than I am buying AnonymousPolls Biden +9 in PA. Especially the latter: given that they self-identify as “conservative”, it’s at least as likely they’re gaming the questions and results to spur red voters to action as they are to objectively reflect the views of the people.

It's less about the margin, particularly at this point, and more about the pattern of how national polling and state polling are telling two different stories. Which mirrors the last Midterms.
