    'Educated people' don't care about corruption in government or the abilities and honesty of their elected officials? What sort of 'education' are these people receiving?

    Yeesh, the term masquerading has NOTHING to do with the misspelling. I am not the spelling police but I have seen you use that term probably ten times in this thread and every time it has been misspelled. I am doing you a favor by pointing out the repeated error. Masquerading was used to denote that you keep "masquerading" confirmational bias as if it were a point of differentiation in this discussion, when in reality that confirmational bias is something that effects everyone equally. Because EVERYONE uses confirmational bias, pointing out its existence is as useful as continually pointing out that everyone breathes in oxygen. It adds absolutely NOTHING to the discussion.

    What I post is also what I choose to post. If you reply to what I post, I am going to reply back. If you are bored with the discussion and done with the conversation, DO NOT REPLY.

    Have a nice day.

    It sounds like you have subscribed to the apocalyptic rhetoric of the GOP. Let me assure you, the sky will be there tomorrow. The real picture is Clinton is not the apocalyptic candidate, and neither is Mexico paying for a wall. The quicker you digest that, the better off you will be.

    Clinton has adopted some of Sanders' message, and drawn a fine line. Let's use, for example, Clinton's New College Compact plan. In return for hard work, the tuition costs of college come down. Not only is that taking part from what would be Sanders' agenda, but it strikes a median. Same for the minimum wage. $12 an hour is a fair median, instead of jumping to $15 an hour. For the millennial generation, Clinton paints quite a bright future indeed.

    Your claim and others is all others is left.
    Add up all others, they total more than fox. So, the 'left' media has way more total viewers spilt between several organizations.

    I'm sure this has been pointed out to you ad nauseum.

    Now as one who doesn't follow 1 news station, I see the accuracy of fox and msnbc as equivalent. Just right v left.

    This statement from your link confirms it.
    Now you'll say they have 25% independent. But the lose 75% to all the other stations.
    Basically, there are many more trustworthy stations to chose from that isn't biased.
    The right only has 1, so that says they are biased.

    No I haven't fallen for their rhetoric.
    Obama convinced me about all the inside politicians. When his very 1st pick for an office just happened to be a WS insider.
    When he continued the failed policy of GWB in foreign policy.
    When he wins the peace price before he's in office and continues and gets into other wars.
    The insiders are all war mongerers for keeping the ME destabilized in the name of energy companies and profits.
    Economic policies that help WS banksters and not the American people.
    She has been in politics her entire adult life. If doesn't get more insider than that.
    She will be GWB all over again.

    I also know partisan hacks will never see any of this.

    We've had a clinton, sure times were good then, but he help lay the ground work for the 2008 crash.
    We had 2 bushes, ditto on laying the ground work.
    GWB was prez when those insiders policy sent the world economy into the toilet.
    If you like GWB, you'll love hilary.

    This is a democratic republic country. Not a 2 family run country. 2 families with the same basic ideology.

    People should care...they should care quite a bit but most people (not even the alleged "educated people" ) care to do the proper vetting of her. They ignore her ties to the CFR, Trilateral Commission, her ties to the Bush crime family, her ties to the Rockefellers and Rothschilds that are shareholders in the Federal Reserve bank that has been sucking this nation dry since it's inception in 1913 and has never been audited. Her ties to Wall Street, her selling of diplomacy in exchange for donations to the Clinton Foundation "slush fund" which was why she used a private server and e-mail addy to keep her out from under the watchful eye of the dot.gov security and e-mail storage that would be available under the FOIA. These so called "educated" voters will simply gloss over Chinagate and how the Clintons gave a deep sea water port to China and instituted an "open door" policy for Chinese dignitaries to peruse the patent office in exchange for cash and donations. These so called "educated voters" will not give a second thought as to how the Clintons coordinated with the CIA and GH Bush to run cocaine into the Mena Airport during the Iran/Contra days where for every 5K of military equipment was exchanged for 15K of pure uncut cocaine and all the politicians on both sides of the political fence shared in the profits. These "educated voters" won't even look at the trail of bodies left behind them in Arkansas as they headed to the WH and never looked back. Yeah, spare me as to how the "educated types" know better. The Clintons make Al Capone seem tame by comparison and they certainly made off with more cash than he ever did....

    As far as my posting history goes? I left Yabberz in September of last year and was looking for another forum so I created a profile but decided to post on usmessageboard.com. I grew tired of the flaming and lack of intellectual "back and forth" so I decided to give this forum a shot and I am finding that this forum:

    A: Has less activity

    B: Has even less informed leftwing posters than those on USB

    While I am no fan of the neocon Republic side of the coin? The posters here that are conservative are by far more informed and make better arguments than the Fabian socialists that have circled the wagon around Hillary and the gap widens the more I read posts....does this help? If not, allow me to school you further....

    I would be a better choice for president than Hitlery Clinton...BY far...not even close. Hillary would start coughing up a lung within a few minutes if she tried to go "toe to toe" with me in a debate. She would be stuttering and stammering while asking for a bathroom break. Why is that? Because I know what the root problem to this country is and how to fix it and it's not that friggin' hard to figure out. She could never make it happen because she is beholding to the very same oligarchs that put this debt slavery system into begin with. You see? I know more than you...infinitely more.

    Oh?

    So you've just discovered that the POTUS election is a choice between lesser evils?

    Congratulations.

    Are you yet aware that the Sun sets in the West?

    Why be an idiot?
    In the 2 party choices, it's been the lesser for decades.
    But there are other parties.

    Now want to try and be an adult?

    Any 3rd party vote is a WASTED vote.

    Even an "idiot" is aware of that.

    Nothing personal, of course. Just saying.

    Great way to introduce yourself as a new member.

    Already flinging insults at people who don't agree with your Tourette's-like parroting of the ARNJ talking points.

    Thanks for giving me even more reason to not take anything you post seriously.

    Even this post is a waste of time. But, my girl is teaching yoga and I am bored.

    And, it's only the internet. So, WTF?

    Best of luck in trolling the "leftwing" at PF.

    Nobody trolls me.

    And I find taking someone like you seriously to be a total waste of time.

    Watching paint dry seems like a better use of time.

    Now that you have been owned (and schooled), I would suggest that you move onto easier prey.

    Maybe you can find some bored Liberals (looking to up their post count) that will humor your trollbait.

    Best of luck, and happy trolling.:salute:

    You can agree or disagree, all the same to me but I noticed that you couldn't refute anything I posted concerning Hillary so this is your lame way of "bowing out" which is wise on your part because I will rip your argument to shreds.

    So, to sum it up? You "schooled" and "owned" no one...... especially yours truly. You couldn't defeat me in a debate or "best" me in a discussion as to how things are on the best day you ever had.... here or any other forum. I don't need you to reply to my rebuttals of your unintelligent rants because others will read them..... which is something you can't stop nor prevent.

    The media, the education system is one big brainwashing machine.
    They teach stupidity and liberal ideologies. It should be the title of
    a major in colleges.

    That is because the right is to weak and powerless to have any control over higher education

    I do recall my geology teacher preaching to everyone in class to only have one child and socialism is the best ideology. My other professor enjoyed my debates with him but, he also leaned into that category of Socialist Authoritarian behavior. Considering the lack of backbone and/or knowledge a great number feel empowered by such professors. They take their ideology and wield it as a weapon because authority does the same. If you challenge that ideology you're attacked not from other students but, from the professors themselves. There is no questioning only following.

    I do believe the reason most are inclined to be authoritarian and/or socialist as teachers because they themselves are in a position of power. They're also more inclined to spread their message in an area such as the classroom compared to the open spaces of society. Once one student takes that same ideology they become professionals and it spreads. They don't question the ideology because no outside thought is ever brought to the table for discussion. You don't actually learn anything, you merely regurgitate what's being offered.

    Fail. There are many right wing authoritarian models professors could choose. If they choose socialism it is because that is what they believe

    They may truly believe it. But why isn't a Christian a Hindu or vice versa? Was it because the society they were raised in only included that belief? Is that thirteen year old boy shouting out to kill all Blacks/Whites really given the full picture? When that boy grows up in the same neighborhood with the same crowd and his ideology hasn't changed does that mean his belief has been challenged?

    You have to question whether or not such ideologies outside of Authoritarian Leftism is offered.

    I had a friend who went off to college (UC Davis, California) before I enlisted in the USAF. After one semester, he came back to town to tell me that, "Communism is not that bad". I said, "You must be joking, right?" He replied, "No, they have free healthcare!"

    To this day I do believe he is a hard left Democrat. He progressed in very high levels of government service for the state.

    That ideology is shouted the loudest and by the majority on most campuses. Considering the liability for opposing it is high you eat it up or be shunned as an outcast. It's similar to growing up in any part of the world. A culture/ideology is in power and people simply walk the line.

    People in higher education are intelligent enough to choose their beliefs based on merit. If they choose socialism it is not because that is all they know.

    Anti-USA far right radicals always love to play the victim card due to their paranoia, self hate, narcissism, egoism, and deluded political correctness. We see that on display in this forum each and every day. Trump is the ultimate example of this type of low self regard. Small wonder why these people here love him as he is a reflection of all they stand for.

    You may know of other cultures and people but, are you really offered the entirety of what they are or a sample? The majority of people are uneducated in the degrees of every ideology. I am part of that group. Because I don't have time to sit down and ask every question. We're given samples and sometimes we're given misinformation of a particular group. Within a college campus in my own experience SJW/Communist/Socialist ideologies are paraded continually and those with a differing opinion are shouted down. There are no real discussions. Which begs the question are these professors really choosing this ideology or regurgitating what they heard?

    If a group is shouted down it is because their idea has no appeal to the group. If you can not make your case in a way that appeals to people you should never expect any support for it.
