betcha ten nonexistent bucks they're also a side burner of one of the hardcore trumpers already active on this thread
does it matter? people can say whatever they like, but you bet your ass i'll respond to it if it's dumb as fuck

It's sad pointing the finger at the guy who has been in office less than a month.
frankly pointing the finger at the president is kind of silly
trump wasn't to blame for the coronavirus, but he made himself culpable when he downplayed it and did not implement effective strategies to combat it
biden inherited the office when the problem had already gone runaway, only the vaccine or a strict lockdown will save america now
kinda like removing an arsonist then yelling at the firefighter that the building is still burning

Moderators Gone Wild: Election Edition

Watch as someone who is supposed to moderate a massive gaming forum loses credibility and standing as they spout shit takes like, "It's 100% a religion, the left-wing has replaced God with government and now worship it."
Or other classics such as, "... people fawning over *the first dog of the United States*, there are paper hearts on the White House lawn."

This 4 DVD set and more can be yours for the low, low price of losing your sanity while reading their garbage.
I was unaware that being a devout follower of left-wing ideology was a pre-requisite to moderating a "massive gaming forum", I'll be sure to burn an effigy at the altar to attone for my sin of wrong-think. You're a couple decades late to "correct" me, but I'm sure I can be re-educated.
I have a hard time believing he won that race.
Maybe they let him win.

OH SNAP! :lol:

Nobody said you had to be left-wing to be a moderator. I'm sure it makes you very happy to know you are once again being a disingenuous asshole.

I'm honestly not sure you should be moderating anything, not because of your politics, but because of your apparent illiteracy.

It's not that, it's because you're just really not that bright. As can also be seen in other areas of the forums.
oh i'm sorry, i didn't know i needed to sign up for the church of scientology to be bright, i'll be sure to give all my money to lord xenu to attone for my sin of wrong-think

being a disingenuous asshole? that's new information. i suppose you're saying that i have to go to nasa, train to be a pilot, log 40,000 hours of flight time and get a phd in astrophysics to attone for my sin of wrong-think

If all you're interested in doing is attacking my character, you're welcome to have at it - my inbox is always ready and waiting. This isn't a referendum on me, it's a thread about Joe Biden. I suggest sticking to the topic at hand - you won't hurt my fee-fees either way, but you are derailing the discussion, which I don't look kindly upon.

As a side note, all of the enlightened individuals here are having a huff and puff about what is most likely a bot account which I'm too busy investigating right now to play with you guys in the sandbox. Guess you didn't pick up on that.

Lol at being the first to bring up the off topic idea of having to have left wing politics to be a moderator here before condemning others for going off topic.

attacking your character is a waste of my time and yours
we're attacking your positions, keep up

Joe Biden's position on the left-wing is that they should shut the fuck up and be happy with whatever scraps fall from the elites' tables
your position is that the left-wing is a religion/cult of lies
i think we should all have a discussion about the juxtaposition of Joe Biden's position and yours

to start, i rather think that the left-wing is interested in increasing the living standards of the average american through welfare and infrastructure programs
this doesn't gel with Joe Biden's position on the left-wing, or yours
i feel that's a bit strange, and i wanna know if you've ever opened a book
i think Joe Biden is just lying, but you seem to actually believe what you say

Joe Biden

Discussing the left's gradual decline into the extreme based on their level of support towards specific policies as viewed through the lens of the last three presidencies is perfectly on-topic, and hardly raises an eyebrow.

You've spent the last couple-few pages derailing the discussion with outlandish claims attacking the character of an entire political party, without even a slight drop of evidence to suggest any of what you're saying. You turned this into a referendum about you by spouting baseless nonsense about how being left-wing has become a religion, essentially just because of the fact that we expect the government to do what governments really should be doing by default- helping the people under them.
You turned this discussion into us watching you sit on a throne of straw-men and delusion, wondering how on earth you remain a global moderator, as you aimlessly toss increasingly extreme comparisons at us in hopes that something will stick.

"The left's gradual decline into the extreme" is like Sisyphus's boulder claiming he's running away from it as it slips from his grasp and rolls all the way down.
We haven't budged an inch, but when Trump grips the Republican Party and pulls all who are willing further and further right, nearly everything seems extremely left in comparison.

Once again, you're going off-topic. I wasn't at all addressing your broad and misguided claims about the political left, which would arguably be on topic.
I was unaware that being a devout follower of left-wing ideology was a pre-requisite to moderating a "massive gaming forum"
Please don't waste my time debating something that nobody brought up. Nobody said you have to have left leaning politics to moderate a forum. You were called out on your disingenuous posts, and your rebuttal is further evidence. Thank you.

I swear, this thread's predecessor and itself combined from start to current finish reads like a two-part tragicomedy where Foxi, the most powerful figure in the room, slowly but surely slips into insanity.
Start: Vaguely moderate, ignorant but possibly good-faith, doesn't spout crazed nonsense.
Now: "The left is a fuckin cult and I'll prove it by saying it over and over and then I'll blame y'all for derailing things".

gotta love how the worst they're capable of saying about a prominent Republican is "I may not personally like their [X] but it's better than [insert extremely hyperbolic and inaccurate description of their Democrat opponent] (that is, until they say something Trump doesn't like, at which point they are and always were an eeeeeeeeeeeeevil leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeftist) but a Democrat, or literally the entirety of the American political left-wing for that matter, could sneeze at the wrong angle and suddenly they're some kind of cultist lunatic

fucking based

EDIT: I will say, though, that political ideology is not bound to any politician, political party or movement. In discussing ideology, you can have reasonable arguments.
In discussing politicians, you're wasting your time if they aren't a Justice Dem or Bernie Sanders, people with no friends

You think he'll start crying about being cancelled next?

But more on topic, texas sure is quiet about wanting to secede during their historic blackout of their totally autonomous electric grid. Good thing biden isn't a total piece of shit and will get timely aid for texas instead of sitting there and doing fuck all like trump with the california fires.
