Man have you ever considered that the majority of online discussion boards are against Trump because the majority of people are actually against Trump?

I mean I think that's great. Fair discussion in good faith should always be welcomed.
The problem is when debates in bad faith or based on non-factual information happen.
Consider COVID, which god knows why became politicized - where one side supported taking basic precautions in the form of wearing masks, hygiene, distancing, and getting vaccinated, while other side did not.
Scientific and medical consensus was nearly unanimous in supporting the former - the two sides of this discussion were not factually equal. One side was working off of false information.
In this case trying to foster "balanced" discussion just ends up supporting the spread of misinformation.
This is what the poster who said that "reasonable people can’t differ on everything."
There are things where it's ok for everyone to agree on. It's not always a sign of some algorithmic conspiracy to force an echo chamber.
It's a false equivalency to compare Republicans saying Democrats support drag queen child molestations or WWIII in Ukraine or whatever and Democrats claiming Republicans want to force women to make health choices.
Because Democrats haven't passed any laws which would allow drag queen child molestation or induce WWIII in Ukraine, while Republicans actively campaigned for and managed to successfully repeal Roe vs Wade.
Like, do you see how one side's accusation has more concrete evidence than the other?
I mean if Biden was also being indicted for multiple felonies and being accused of basically selling out his country, you'd probably also see a few more stories hating on him no?
I mean if it's a contest about dehumanising groups of people I think the right-wing is doing a far superior job to the left...
It seems a bit silly to bring this quote up against the side that is actually angry about demographics getting dehumanized
People are pissed about the political situation in the US (imo for good reason).
Rolling up and immediately accusing people (who are imo righteously angry) of being paid shills sounds eerily similar to the bus full of paid protestors disingenuous dog whistle bullshit the right wing media uses to discredit and derail discussions about important matters.
I watched trailers and reviews of barbie and from what I know, it’s a woke shit that tells matriarchy is better than patriarchy, with a bit of comedy admittedly.
Bro what???
But you are literally inviting a discussion about equivalency when you claim that a discussion board with a left wing bias is simply the "same thing in reverse" as a discussion board with a right wing bias.
The scale and severity of the accusations against Trump and those against Biden are on completely different levels. Trying to claim that they should be discussed or compared on similar levels is outright disingenuous.
You're implying the existence of an administrative or algorithmic bias that is somehow censoring right wing talking points while ignoring that several popular right wing talking points are of highly questionable veracity.
