The best thing about all this forum tension is how it mimics real life political tension. We can't solve the problems in the real world, but by God, we can recreate them in the virtual world.

oh wow a book written by the united states government about the cia, this definitely wasn't released explicitly to create a particular narrative

IIRC it was just a different MOE for Bernie, but the MOEs were absurdly large.

Something awful is currently controlled by comfortable white moderates who prefer the absence of tension over the presence of justice.

"It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Winston Smith, his chin nuzzled into his breast in an effort to escape the vile wind, slipped quickly through the glass doors of Victory Mansions, though not quickly enough to prevent a swirl of gritty dust from entering along with him. Outside, boring middle class white people danced as though enthusiasm could overcome mediocrity."

I feel like a 14-point swing for Bernie is one of those things that would have made the pollster go "throwing this obvious outlier straight in the garbage" but it's Pete so queue up the dancers

We had a couple then someone refused to relinquish (non-existent) power and allow for a new election ie: the thread ran its course and everyone just got bored and stopped. Which is a pity, as I'd built in a Sinister Forums Illuminati faction working behind the scenes to PM whomever the sitting president was with orders to do nonsensical things "Miscapitalize the third proper noun in every sentence you post in the Trump thread, or else!"


I like this place and do not want it to go the way of LF.

tbh I don't know why cspam shouldn't be top level if PHIZ is

I don't even know if anyone posts in PHIZ anymore

Not that I was asked at the time, but perhaps the time to have made this place top-level was when it first became a permanent forum (having first been a RSF), but given the similarity in subject material it seemed to make sense then to make it a D&D sub (also there was precedence of LF having been a D&D sub). That we've been here so long, and that the original core of CSPAM posters were initially emigres from D&D, I don't know that the two could be disentangled simply by moving us up a tier, but maybe?

So I'm clear this is just me spitballing, not commenting on anything that is or isn't being proposes among the mods and admins.

I still maintain that making an empty forum called "Hell" or something like that and putting both D&D and CSPAM as subforums of that would be the ideal solution, at least to that problem.

e. The sole post in the Hell Forum would, of course, be Guyovich's stickied "Bernie Panders" post.

That was being misrepresented a bit because those high MOEs were specifically for 2nd choice candidates (ex: warren is 46%, + or - 14% as a second choice for Sanders - i think) and it's probably because Sanders was the lowest N of all of the top candidates.

full text:

quote:

The poll asked voters to name a second choice candidate. When first and second choices are combined Buttigieg (37%) and Warren (35%) are the leading picks. They are followed by Biden (29%) and Sanders (25%), along with Klobuchar (14%), Harris (9%), Steyer (6%), Booker (4%), Yang (4%), and Gabbard (3%). Among Buttigieg voters, the top second choices are Warren (21%), Biden (20%), and Klobuchar (15%). Among Biden voters, the second slot goes to Buttigieg (22%), Warren (20%), and Klobuchar (17%). Among Warren voters, it’s Sanders (33%), Buttigieg (26%), and Biden (16%). Among Sanders voters, Warren stands alone in second place (46%). Among voters who are currently supporting a candidate not in the top tier – and thus may be more likely to realign on caucus night – second choices include Buttigieg (28%), Sanders (16%), and Warren (15%). [Note: the maximum margin of error for these results ranges from +/-8% to +/-10% for each candidate group, except Sanders at +/-14%.]

no it absolutley could, i think lf could have too

at a certain point the posting culture becomes so distinct that keeping it as a sub doesnt work
