[benjipwns]

This. No amount of empathy and calm conversation is going to convince Trump partisans

Why do you think this? They believe the things that they believe just like you do. Presumably you acknowledge that you could be convinced to vote for Trump if a sufficiently effective and reasonable argument were made to you, so why do you assume those currently intending to vote for Trump are unable to do likewise?

What?

There is no sufficiently effective or reasonable argument to vote for him unless you're a) racist/bigoted b)completely indifferent to racism/bigotry.

Yeah that's not how this works.

People can argue all they want but there is no sufficient argument to get me and many others to vote for Trump. None.

I can totally understand being strongly opposed to a Trump presidency. I sure as hell am, as a minority that's been stopped at airports frequently for "random searches" and are related to/friends with other minorites. Even had airport security yell at me once claiming I "was an Arab", asking me questions only to immediately be told not to speak, even going as far as to yell at me in a foreign language. Everything Trump represents I can't get behind.

 That said, the paranoid belief that a minority of third-party voters are going to make her "lose votes" or affect the outcome of this election is outstanding.

People can vote however they want, but Ralph Nader tho. People thought both candidates were shit and it didn't matter who you voted for then too.

Someone's first amendment rights don't magically go away if they decide not to vote.  It is really fucking bizarre to see how many argue that should be the case, though I guess it is an unsurprising opinion given how hard some of these people swing authoritarian. 

Call eligible voters who stay home hypocrites if you want but they have the same rights as you at the end of the day.

Welcome to "NeoGAF" the site where the rules are made up and the points don't matter.

Meta-posting and being mean is only a thing when it triggers whatever mod is reading it at the time. Which means things they perceive as outside their ideas on liberalism.

You can harass the shit out of someone like the OP in the Liberalism thread, make all the alt-right meta-commentary you want, claim other posters are part of hate forums, but don't dare poke the liberal hive.

The moment someone on GAF breaks formation that hive will descend on them with the poise and temperament of an ICP concert thats handing out free bath salts. When that happens you need to "get back on topic" or "face a ban"....All while some self-proclaimed liberal is likely talking about alt-right accounts infesting GAF and for you to go back to Storm-front because you clearly hate minorities because you said a Polynesian Disney costume isn't comparable blackface.

I went back and edited my post to include that wall of people who were all "get ur philsophy from south park brehs" "read south park and stopped reading" because it was so fucking obvious why it was actually mentioned if you had read the single sentence before triggering.

Except it was an idea I started before I realized there actually were as many people as I thought who had ignored the entire content of the OP completely after seeing the very mention of South Park in a political thread but still posted some kind of jab.

think most devs are on board, it's just that CDPR have handled Witcher 3's problems on consoles very ho-hum. Maybe they never devved on more than just PC before, but these guys would do good to show console fans some love here, because their W3 port was not stellar and now they have a chance to make it so.

All I heard from PC fans about this dev team was excellent support, but after consoles made their title really successful they're trying to say they can't get two guys to work on a .Pro patch...This is really absurd, hell, even greedy EA is patching games like crazy....
