"Popularity" is meaningless. The real question is whether or not people will vote for Trump over Hillary. I mean, you kind of have to be damaged in the brain to actually LIKE Donald Trump as a person. But just because he's unlikeable doesn't mean he wouldn't be a better president that that dishonest, unethical, entitled, bought-and-paid-for special interests prostitute Hillary Clinton.

Top Bunk Wanker posted:Anybody who would be sincerely interested in discussing conservative politics on here in any kind of depth was purged in 2008 and 2012, or else simply doesn't want to be probated or banned repeatedly. There is a time cost to every post we make. A really well thought out post about politics that takes into account all sorts of subtle factors takes over an hour to write. Maybe 2-3 hours depending on the topic, but never the less it's a lot of work. If the well thought out post is rewarded with other well thought out responses the investment is probably enjoyable and worth it to the OP and he will continue to make well thought out posts in the future. However, when an intelligent post is drowned out by low effort posts, which is what happened to D&D when McCain and similar mods were running things around that '08-'12 time period, the quality of the subforum decays. The only way a subforum can maintain activity while also encouraging low effort posting is to become an echo chamber, which is what D&D became last time I checked on it. All of that would have been forgivable if the forum was at least funny, but in reality it was a cess pool of unsuccessful people whining about how unfair the world was.

Solution: Create a GOP sub-forum and make yours truly its moderator. Can you see it brothers? A shining city on a hill. A sub-forum to act as a light-house in the darkness of LIEberal ignorance and sinfulness.

I was literally banned for making a thread called "Should we nuke Raqqa?" in Debate and Discussion which had at least half decent posting going on about the Ethics in Warfare, besides a chorus of people going YOU'RE AN ISLAMOPHOBE SOCIOPATH!!! over and over and adding absolutely nothing ot the "Debate" or "Discussion." So of course I was banned by some Bernie Sanders 2016 guy with a "heh, go somewhere else 2 be a genocidal maniac, human being" and thread deleted, for daring 2 bring some Bold, Sophisticated, British styled Debate to the debate forum. Because bombing ISIS is something only a truly sick monster would do I just googled "Raqqa" and http://blogs.reuters.com/great-debate/2015/11/08/islamic-states-capital-could-be-better-off-under-islamic-state-unless/ crap like "So, who will free Raqqa? The answer remains unclear because there doesn’t seem to be many interested in carrying out this difficult mission. It doesn’t look like the Kurds are spoiling to take the largely Arab city. The United States will not be sending in significant ground forces to do the job. Turkey seems disinclined to send its forces across the border to wage war, particularly given Ankara’s hostility to most Kurdish insurgents. The various groups that make up the Free Syrian Army are far too weak to take on Islamic State directly. In addition, the coalition fighting against Islamic State is certainly not eager for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his Iranian backers to march back into the city. So, in reality, there is no ground force being assembled to accomplish this goal." its just begging NUKE ME i bet this is trump's secret strategy too Smoothrich has issued a correction as of 17:34 on Nov 10, 2015 |

I hit up (Election Erection) to read the informative post and the clever post. Bonus if someone nails both at the same time. Many do. Cleverness isn't something you can "work hard on" -- you either have it, or you don't -- and in any event, neither case requires more than 5 minutes of effort unless there are a bunch of links/images or something. Your post was neither informative nor clever; how many hours did you spend composing it?

I am Smoothrich and I'm here to ask you a question. Is a poster not entitled to the sweat of his brow? "No," says the Bernie Bro in BYOB, "it belongs to me." "No," says the Ironic Racist in GBS, "it belongs to Trump." "No," says the mods in D&D, "it belongs in the gas chamber." I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... Election Erection. A board where the artist would not fear the censor; where the Republican would not be bound by petty morality; where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, Election Erection can become your board as well.

It's easy to say that but it isn't just this forum ; I'm seriously not aware of any forum, anywhere on the internet, that discusses the modern Republican party in a fashion I would consider "serious." Hell, I'm not even aware of all that many serious *columnists.* The people who were serious Republican intellectuals have all either gone insane or turned apostate -- see, e.g., David Brooks, Andrew Sullivan, David Frum, etc. The root issue is that a party where the intellectual leadership is coming from the likes of Trump, Carson, and whoever can shout the most extreme poo poo into the right wing noise tornado, is not a serious party that can participate in serious discussions. We don't have serious conservatives posting here because they're an endangered species everywhere, not just here.

I don't identify with social conservatism, no millennials do after all, but I realize Identity Politics is basically 21st century Social Darwinism, white privilege = jew privilege etc, and only the Republicans offer a visionary platform of leadership to one day become a "Uniter, not a Divider."

Carson's support is quantity, not quality. He will not win his party's nomination, let alone the election. As it stands, he doesn't even know how to win. As unfortunate as it may seem, the election is currently between Rubio, Bush, and Hillary.
