Essentially they were mod endorsed, Maxim level soft porn threads. They were pretty horrible and I'm glad we got rid of them. Unbelievably, that was actually a politically difficult thing to do.
Looking at political threads from 8 years ago, the difference in gendered language was pretty surprising.
I guess we've all grown up a bit.

Ten years ago the forum probably would've voted Trump.
I went back to see how terrible I was once and it was pretty bad. I don't recommend it.
The forums were bad 10 years ago, but I don't think they were "vote trump!" bad
Consider that voting trump would have been very ironic and hilarious
True, but the difference is I don't see Trump pulling an Obama because that would take preparation.
Edit: I am trying to be relaxed as a result from the debate, the fact that Hillary won so handily is relaxing to me.
Also Obama was surprised by Romney's blatant lying and that he ran to the middle with the lies. Clinton didn't do anything that Trump shouldn't have known she'd do. Hell his debate strategy now is to attack her more because he doesn't realize his attacks outside of nafta were the worst thing for him.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

The NAFTA thing is fine, but if she'd stop name dropping Bill it would be less impactful. Also, outside of his base it isn't going to move the needle.
That whole thing was Clinton talking reasonably about how to meet the challenges of our time with an eye to the future vs Trump word vomiting buzzwords to get those 5 guys in the back to whoop it up.
Oh god. Immediately after the debate last night the #debatenight and #debates tags were all HRC, but now they are 100% filled with trump supporters crowing about how trump won, the media is biased, and hillary is a shrew.

It's great news, they are reduced to lying to people who literally watched the opposite. If anything it'll turn off undecideds. "Uhh you said he was smart and shit, but he came across like a rambly jack ass, are you dumb?"

It sure is interesting how quiet the libertarian/conservative/That One Relative portions of my social media feeds are this afternoon..
I un followed the ultra conservative s and Trump fans on my Facebook long ago.
It's a friendship survival mechanism....I don't want to hate these people and I am registered independent. I cannot imagine if I was liberal in this political climate.

For me, that segment hasn't exactly been quiet, but they have been buckling down on the "Brace Yourselves, everybody turned into a political expert overnight" and similar memes.

I think that there would have been a few people who thought it was fun to pretend they were supporting trump
I don't think honest support would be a dominant or widespread position; even ten years ago, this was a pretty left-leaning place
"The stories of me stumbling out onto the streets of New York City and devouring the souls of four homeless citizens so that I could retain my fading youth and repair the seams in my human suit are inaccurate."
TRUE
These stories are inaccurate, but not for the reason you might think. Police records indicate that Donald Trump actually consumed twelve souls that evening, not four.
seems like an excellent and valuable use of the site name to me
I dunno. I don't like saying trump is dumb or he has a short attention span or whatever.
I mean I am both those things and granted I'm not running for president but I think you need to have more respect for the danger the man poses and being dismissive of his intelligence seems unwise.

The attention span thing isn't really a knock at his intelligence at all but it is a significant weakness in a debate, as last night demonstrated. The man literally could not stay focused on a topic and his meandering made him look really bad. It also probably contributed to his lack of preparedness because he was strongest at the beginning when he was sticking to solid, GOP-esque talking points but he clearly was not prepared for deviating from that because that's when he started to fall apart. Obviously we shouldn't assume he won't try to fix those problems, of course, but as he currently stands, it's a real liability.
I would say it wasnt 100% a rout. Trump was somewhat together for the first... 10 minutes, and but then he just fell apart. Clinton was just dunking all night long though. So like 80% rout.
I think there's just no good way for her to talk about NAFTA, we can only hope he doesn't catch on for the second debate.
Despite the primaries, no one gives a shit about trade. 85% of voters have no idea what TPP is.
People do care but it's a real difficult issue to understand so it's a much harder talking point. The effects that any one trade deal can have are super complicated.
someone doesn't have to be intelligent to be dangerous
I don't think he's unintelligent though. But that's beside the point.
Also that's true but it isn't worth associating those things.
He's not dangerous because he's stupid. He's dangerous because he believes the heinous things he does.
Actually, I don't think he believes the heinous things he does. I think it's the exact opposite. I don't think he believes anything. I think he has such a disdain for facts, for reality, that he literally doesn't think it matters if what he says is true or not and also that he assumes other people are lying constantly as well.
I agree that insulting him solely on his capabilities can be a bit of a problem.
I think it probably stems from knowing the threat he poses, and wanting to find assurance that he won't win. "He is incapable of learning from this debate" is a path to "he won't learn from this debate", which is what we want to happen.
Still, one should watch what one says, even when using things to insult scumbags like trump.

I think actual facts about the lies he's told, especially on a domain name that would attract his supporters, would be better than stupid jokes about being him a devilman but then that's me

Oh also also after the whole debate I give Lester Holt a charitable 5/10. Honestly I think the debate was moderated poorly but I also don't know what reporter working for a major news outlet would be allowed to be forceful enough to get Trump (And, let's be fair, to a much lesser extent Clinton) to totally behave and stick to debate topics. Like, you could do it, but I don't know who'd allow you to do it. (And Trump would probably just walk off the stage.)

She's done several lately and trump has retreated from them.

"I never said that"
-"Is that your final answer?"
"Uh, um.....[sweating]...uh...YES, FINAL ANSWER"
-"Oh no, I'm sorry. It turns out you did say that"
Gah Ned Stark never even said brace yourselves
that's the made-up part of the meme
We probably don't deserve Chuck Tingle but I'm so glad we have him.

When I saw this I was like "YES YES piss off the NRA so they pull out support for your campaign."

Sometimes to win an election you just gotta make white people feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

His supporters don't care about actual facts.
Spoken like an ally of Ted Cobbler if you ask me.
