VOAT Containment Megathread of Trash People for Trash People

It was funny watching them ban various "I hate whites!!" posts when a similar post--maybe with a little less venom--would get by just fine 24 hours prior.

GAF is a pretty good microcosm of what happened in this election. People that were convinced they were on the "right side of history" and cast out everyone that they disagreed with. Since they were only hearing people that agreed with them because they had cast out everyone that disagreed and the were self assured that they were going to win. Instead of seeing as Bernie did of "No one is talking to white middle america."

bernie and his policies didn't connect with white middle america at all, what the fuck

no he didn't. But he at least called out after he dropped out that the Democrats were ignoring white middle america. At least he recognized it, even if he didn't appeal to them.

[VomKriege]

To be charitable to GAF, a lot of the most qualified and deserving candidate ever BS was just stuff that was leaking from the top, repeated by much smarter (yet ultimately as blindsided) people. Complacency is not that easy to shake off and despite every effort from the party not to be lulled into it, it was there at the back of the mind... And how couldn't it ? All the stats and studies seemed to say everything was good to go.

I love how all of this has forced the inmates to question the moderation policy, which has been awful for a while now

I'd have a lot more sympathy for rural America if they weren't deliberately fucking over urban America.

Amendment 71 that passed in my state might as well read "Fuck you Denver".

first: fuck, Toxi lives near me.

second: Amendment 71 requires constitutional amendments to get signatures from 2% of everyone in the state, not just a certain number from denver or boulder. It was previously able to fuck over all of rural colorado, now the playing field is even so that everyone in the state can have a say. Toxi is just mad that people live outside of the denver bubble who disagree with her.

I see the compulsory voting train has started up.  If you ever needed proof of the dim concept of freedom possessed by those who bark the loudest about how progressive and enlightened they are.

I am sometimes wondering if compulsory voting wouldn't be the best system, provided election day happens on a sunday or day off and that an explicit option for a blank vote is offered and tallied up (even if not factored in the percentages) as no one should be obligated to choose an option if they can't reconcile with any of the tickets. Punishment for not voting should only be a small fine.

Would held with the turnout and avoid some of the ambivalence around abstention (real political statement or just couldn't be arsed ?).

Here are some gems:

I was completely living in a bubble. I think this election has fundamentally changed the way I think. I've always prided myself on thinking critically (something my father, as a lawyer, has always emphasized to me) and its clear to see now that I wasn't thinking critically whatsoever when it comes to this election.

I am surrounded by people just like me, who are in the process of getting advanced degrees and who think this choice is just mind numbingly simple. I mean honestly, I think my entire class voted for Clinton. As in 100%. I just could not conceive her losing my state. much less losing it as significantly as she did. And because of that I didn't volunteer. I didn't try to connect to rural white voters, or canvas, or phonebank, or anything.

One of the problems with perception on here is how readily people were banned for voicing opinions that didn't fit in with the group think. I'm a big lefty but GAF seems to be populated with the worst kind of smug, all knowing, patronising identity politics.

There's a reality with too many people here that only has relevance in Sociology textbooks. They're prepared to fight a cause online for one group without even assessing the base concern of their opposition. They're preaching liberalism but shutting down debate.

Clinton was a terrible candidate. The way the Sanders supporters on here were treated was ludicrous. For the good of the progressive world, you lot need to pull your heads out of your arses and start listening to working class people.

I was strongly against Trump, yet I was still intimidated to post because of HillaryGAF. There was something really off-putting about seeing people...not bullied, but cleverly pushed away with several or a dozen, or more people going after a single person. It was really discouraging and sad, but when you see two mods with Hillary Clinton avatars, you kind of just shut up.

A really toxic atmosphere this forum created, with permission from the staff.. :/

Agreed. I think it's time for EviLore to put a political neutrality clause on mods. It felt really unfair, and a bit like assisted bullying sometimes.

Nah, some mod is going through and closing threads like that that are having some good introspection and discussion.

I'm already sick as fuck of pinning this on Hillary's supposed compromised history and alleged lack of inspiration. It's basically victim-blaming. It's especially tiresome seeing the fucking third party voters and disillusioned voters do it. Quit shirking your own damn accountability.

Literally no discussion or analysis.

BTW anyone who was around in 07/08 saw a vastly different poligaf. While praising Obama was big, there was also debate over policy, specifically during the Obama v Hillary days. There was discussion of down ballot measure, especially Prop 8 obviously but others to. Complete opposite than what poligaf has become. It's basically a rest haven for hoes now. A bunch of smug dudes extolling the virtues of their safe bubble.

So Gaf is truly that shallow, sigh.

Is not even that Trump rethoric is that popular but that the Social Progressive slacktivism mind set proved to be less accepted than they thought and people are calling out the forum as demographics and exit polls show that GAF is truly a curated ecochamber. Bish was passive agressive ib race stuff for years and forgived a lot of blatant racism but suddenly is a real problem, HillGaff were as viscious as Trump surrogates with their preliminary candidate but now they dont have the decency to admit their candidate was not as likeable as they thought, people were labeled as concern trolling for not overreacting to social stuff unrelated to the topic at hand and now they are asking to leave politics in politics.
