The Perception Gap That Explains American Politics

and again as river said you are not allowed to put a mod on ignore- we will not see the post or who posted it only a blank space - about 5 years ago I put gatornana on ignore and learned a hard lesson with some time off

 

Sounds like you are looking to get banned.
Hmmm

 

If you read my posts over the years you wouldn't insinuate such a thing. There have been many open-minded posts I have nonetheless disagreed with, but whose well reasoned opinions I respect. Bill, however is a one trick mule, a closed-minded ideologue. There are some on the left I view the same way.

 

No, I have a few posters on ignore and they see my posts. I could and probably should, put you on ignore and I won't see your posts but you will see mine.

 

trust me I believe I know how it works and I will not see your posts- however, don’t take my word, take rivers word- he knows how it works-

 

Ok Bill, can you see this post? You're on ignore.

 

so I learned something- was told by an admin they changed the coding because it was affecting the google
clicks so I can still see your posts- if you see this then obviously ignore no longer works

 

I can see that you posted something Bill, but I can't see what it is.

 

It says 'ignore'.

 

I think it has something to do with being a premium member or not. I think premium members can block others from seeing their posts. I can't do that. If I put you on ignore, you can still see my posts, I just can't see yours.

The problem is the dems hardly make this an issue at all. Definitely not in this campaign.

The way the GOP goes after the trans issue is basically the equivalent to “they are eating the dogs, they are eating the cats”. They find their one example and then go after it as if it’s an issue millions are dealing with. With the swimmer at least they had a legit point about how lax that sports rules were, but then you see them move to the Algerian boxer where it’s far less obvious of a situation (on top of not even being an American). It’s fear mongering, plain and simple. It’s arguably not even an issue that should have federal govt involvement at all, other than protecting civil rights of individuals where some might attack them, possibly even perpetuating physical violence.

 

All of the mental gymnastics. Just admit the men competing in women's sports is nearly an impossible position to logically defend. Not much different than 6-week abortion bans with no exceptions. While I am sympathetic to the pro-life side of the argument, GOP are never going to win over very many people with 6-week bans and no exceptions and you're never going to win voters over attempting to make men competing in women's sports any less absurd than it is.

 

No, there clearly is a perception gap, and you're the case study. It's hilarious that the OP made you mad.

 

Lol... "mad" is not how I post... I laugh all the way through it.
