Why do people use this site to spout one sided political views?
488726
3 options.\n\n1. Propaganda. People believe that their arguments will be compelling enough to convince others to come over to their side.\n\n2. They enjoy ranting. We all do to some degree.\n\n3. They want to get support and approval from those that share their views.\n\nAnd just as a side note, I'm sure people would want to meet people of the opposite sex that share their views. If that makes any sense. It could be a filter, or a beacon.\n\nAnd yes, it's annoying that they aren't even questions. People should be penalized for it.

Basically it is something to make it worth your while to be on the site.If you go to the home page,you will find your answers. I personally like the communication factor. We get to exchange  ideas with people all over the world.We get to know what the people think not just what their respective politicians tell us. That is so cool!!! Peace.

Why do people ask such generalized questions that are hate mongering?

If you look closely you'll notice that it's only one person asking the same question with different wording each time.  That person isn't looking for an answer -- they're just looking to push their socio/political viewpoint.

I like this question because it reminds me that I *am* a nice person.  I remember answering questions a few months back that people said some really awful things to me, like that they hope I never had children, when in turn I WORK with children.  I volunteer at the Peds ward and NICU!  They would NEVER know my politics in fact, if it never came up, all these dems would higher me as the best baby sitter they ever had!!!  Then when I said that, they degraded me even further... \n\nIt's really sad that your political views shape up to be such a bad outcome of who you are.   This is the only forum I get heated in, and take a guess of *when* I get heated?  When a question is posed ALREADY demeaning Republicans, not looking for real answers, or name calling.  Then I get defensive, automatically, and I would do the same in real life.  If anyone were to come at me like they do on here, I would have no problem standing up for myself.  I certainly don't go looking for arguments and don't really discuss politics unless I'm ranting about Y! answers to my boyfriend (lol).  One of my best friends is liberal, and we can discuss things normally.   But then again, she doesn't call me names, and I don't attack her back since there is no reason for it.  YOU know?\n\nI use my real pictures of myself because I'm not afraid of who I am or what I have to say.  I am proud of my beliefs, I'm not always proud of my mouth, but the libs bring it out in me.  I should rephrase that to the libs ON HERE bring it out in me.  They are truly some really awful people, and we shouldn't judge the ones on here for some Dems in real life.  There are Republicans that start nasty things as well... but I consider myself not to be one of those and have asked some really good questions I think, but consistently get reported or thumbs down when really it has nothing to do with politics.  That just shows me what kind of people are here, you know?  not willing at all to see the other side.\n\nThis is my longest post ever, but it just reminds me that this is not my life.  Politics is not my life, I consider myself to be one of the friendliest, loveliest, sweetest people you'd probably ever meet.  Not trying to sound conceited or anything, but I really have a good head and a huge heart and if politics weren't involved, I'd love everyone :) haha.   When I was a child and a teenager, adults loved me, and now I think I have become a blessed soul because of what I stand for, and what I do in my every day life to help normal people like you and me.

This is politcs.  Don't you know that when the polls are good politcians reference them all the time and when polls are bad they totally dismiss them.  Spin and politics!!  They all do it.

That is one of the sole purposes of this site so people who are here are either asking or answering and there is alot of people here.\nEveryone has questions about one thing or another.

Sorry you are experiancing this. Someone must not be comfortable with you or your views. I'm not really suprised though, it seems some people will do anything to  prevent a person from speaking for themself and presenting a reasonable point of view. If they want to ask silly questions (which can be fun) let them do it for themself.

Yes i believe so. I have found that in posting certain controversial, debatable issues, the majority of the responses I have received have been either opinions in the form of absolute truth with no backup or 'witty' one-liners aimed at one-upping me in an attempt to make me look stupid. Pretty disappointing.

I agree -- but it seems like the only way some people can win is by bringing someone else down instead of telling me what changes THEY will make.  I admit, if another candidate did something unethical or consistently votes a certain way, I'd like to know, but I can do my own research with a lot less bias.

Why do all partisans think b!tching and whining about how bad the other side is solves anything? Both sides are full of sh!t; you want results, quit the pissing contest..

hey you are using my motto....'they can't handle the truth' ! man, you're my kind of woman. i've only been on this site a day but i keep reading posts from others saying what you are...it seems to me ppl that report for no reason other than they disagree prove one thing... that they have no argument and are wrong.

There are a few people who are only here to be mean.\n\nThere are lots of people here who genuinely want to share their beliefs.\n\nThere are a couple like myself who like to play devil's advocate for both sides.

There are more reliable sources to get answers to questions. This site is good for getting an idea about what people in general think or believe. Everything one reads on this site and other similar sites should be taken with a grain of salt.

You're way off base and you're also full of crap. Also, if you actually thought that we would take a website called www.democratssuck.com seriously, you're even crazier than you sound.
