So how many lefties have committed ideologically motivated mass shootings since 2017?
How many lefties have sent mail bombs to media outlets they disagree with?

If you're really convinced the left have been the main source of violence in the past few years you're ignoring reality.

There's a reason why I specified en masse. As in mob scene. As in zillions across the nation acting completely insane, smashing, burning, looting, attacking. There's hours of footage of it. And I expect it to be much worse if Trump is reelected. Total anarchy.

I've seen a lot of public disobedience, but not much of what you're describing. I'm not sure public demonstrations (even if a small number of people engaged commit vandalism or theft) and terrorism are on the same level though. I don't consider property crimes to fall under the definition of violence at all.

But didn't Mike Pence say Americans should support Hong Kong Chinese doing this in their "zillions"...ok when it happens somewhere else huh...even if it's your biggest trading partner

Your propensity to resort to hyperbole, gross exaggeration and missattribution when it's the left is becoming predictable

The purpose behind what Ezra and Twisty or whatever are doing is to turn off autistic people from voting Democratic. Since we’re in a 2-party system, that helps Republicans, who as a party support politicians who want to dismantle social programs, which will hurt most autistic people. Maybe Ezra and Twisty don’t realize it, but that’s what they’re doing.

Im not trying to turn anybody away from voting anything. I am simply fed up with all the political BS that's dividing everyone.

Ezra realizes that this sub-forum on an obscure website only consists of a handful of people. And therefore attempting to make any kind of impact on voters here is ridiculous. Ezra's only purpose here is to discuss topics with a tiny number of people.

Even if I affected how everyone on WP votes, that would affect 0000000.1% of voters.

Also if a good democrat candidate comes forth I will be happy to recommend and vote for that person.

Those actually trying to influence voters here are wasting their time and basically just spamming in my opinion.

^yeah i think so too.

also, that's not to say that you don't have a point or that i don't agree with anything you're saying in this thread because i do. just not sure how beneficii came to that conclusion.

Oh I'm sure if you travel to a small regional town during a federal election you will see local GOP volunteers standing in front of polling booths handing flyers out even if the entire population of the town is like 20.

I agree with Beneficii that the handful of pro-Trump posters on this forum can influence possibly 1000s of US autistic voters who read these forums (even if they don't contribute). While the level of influence in swinging the outcome of an election is highly unlikely to make any difference; if you combine thousands of different online forums used by Americans across the world then the combined effort of "other Ezras" out there playing their same little games would (I think) make some difference.

All I do is discuss and debate and give opinions like everyone else.

Basically what you and beneficii are asserting is that anything other than a democrat echo chamber is detrimental to the autism community.

Then rather than send traffic one way be more impartial...I'd say in the literally thousands of posts you have made you have never had anything negative to say about anything remotely right wing but can find something to say about Obama, Hillary, BLM or Antifa.
