Joe Biden Wins - Becomes 46th president of the United States

Yes some BLM splinters are lunatics but a lot of it was peaceful.

Yes, some patriots were lunatics, but a lot of it was peaceful.

Watching Trumpettes dance around domestic terrorism and sedition is hilarious. I'm pretty sure their brains are like a bag of pretzels by now.

I never said anything contrary to this. I accept that most protesting during a time of unrest is not violent. But this is just a game of whatabouttery; the violence on both sides, when it happens, is bad.

*Snip!*

The apartment twisted in on itself then I saw a big checkerboard spiral before coming down to what felt like a super dank weed high. Though the dose I had was "barely anything" at the time, apparently.

Damn. Where can I sign up?

it's kinda hilarious because it's not like they don't already have an entire dictionary's worth of snarl words and various other modern derogatories to throw at our argument, but resorted to pulling tactics from a rather specific personality type I'll coin a term for right now- the Chad Hominem, who believes that sidestepping opponents' arguments to bash them personally using the argumentative equivalent of poorly-applied brute force somehow makes them seem more intelligent
like dude at least take a big stick to our topically-relevant opinions (or even better, our actual points) instead of irrelevant traits like profile pictures
but Chad Hoministic pointless nonsense aside... denying that Biden's victory was valid at this point is about as stupid as trying to maintain a belief in geocentrism- except that instead of the Earth, it essentially requires people to behave as if half the damn universe revolves around one Donald John Trump, Sr.

This is very bothersome to me... Why would Foxi4 support shamzie who was just suspended for "TROLLING" clearly visible for everyone to see, and yet we can't get another mod to moderate this... Wth has gbatemp become! This is egregious!

This is a perfect reflection of the police all around the US picking and choosing who they will side with, when they are supposed to just "side" with the law... The oath that they all took when they started their employment!

I guess gbatemp mods don't take an oath. Lol

*edit* Foxi4 has been reported to gbatemp for favoring people who go against board rules.

Maybe because *I'm the one who suspended him*, genius. He immediately started misbehaving upon his return, so I politely reminded him to behave.

Welcome back. The subject naturally gravitated towards climate policy, but I'm pretty sure we're done with that. Please maintain an acceptable level of decorum and we won't have any issues going forward.

Or did you miss that bit? It appears the joke flew over your head.

I only accept apologies that are delivered with a box of chocolates, by the way.

Sleepy Joe rigged the election.

I've been following this thread since the beginning. I have read everything Shamzie has written before you have edited it. My question to you sir, why did you leave the section you left when it goes against the rules? That is pure trolling which was left. Why not just remove everything? And on top of that, the first things he writes when he comes out of suspension is comments against others and more trolling... And that's ok? He should be back in the dog house because obviously he doesn't give a poop about what his suspension was about as he's just doing the same again

My problem is that your favoring a side of this discussion and it's obviously reflecting the decisions you are taking in this thread.

Furthermore, I appreciate discussion on gbatemp Because it's not full of people who lie and say falsehoods that aren't backed by proof... But lately it seems this forum has gone sideways and theres no mod who is willing to set it right.

The post was reported repeatedly, and every single time it was getting smaller and smaller, trimmed until it finally ended in the form it is in now - the only sentence remotely connected to the thread, if unsubstantiated. It was edited by multiple members of staff, mind - I don't sit here all day, I value my mental health.

The politics section is unique in the sense that we purposefully enable as much free speech as humanly possible and only remove overtly inflammatory content, as per the specific guidelines of the subforum. This means that sometimes you'll see things you don't like, or consider "wrong". You can argue your point of view, or point out the inaccuracies, or you can ignore them.

You can refer to the guidelines here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/disclaimer-read-this-before-posting.493895/

The short version is: "stay civil and respectful, use logic-based arguments if you disagree with someone, mods will pull the trigger without hesitation if you don't". If that's what he believes, that's what he believes - argue your side.

EDIT: I removed the "Welcome Back" edit note now since it can admittedly be misconstrued without the rest of the post. Hopefully that resolves any future confusion. Carry on.

The fact that Shamzie just came back from a suspension related to THE SAME infractions he just wrote as he just got out of suspension and that multiple mods missed this... Blows my mind.

The fact that you ask me to "ignore" items that are blatantly FALSE and continue to spread FAKE News and false information makes me cringe... Maybe I'll just find another thread that doesn't have you as a moderator.

That's... not how our workload works. Sorry to see you feel that way, but we primarily focus on inflammatory content and ridiculous conspiracies - election fraud is still a subject of discussion, regardless of lack of any conclusive evidence, and he has as much right to say that he believes in it as you have the right to think the election was fair. I'm pretty sure that was abundantly obvious given the fact that the last few pages are almost exclusively about supposed election fraud. And yes, if a particular user does irk you to such an extent, you can add them to your Ignore list, it's rather simple.

I'm sorry but there is ABSOLUTELY NO PROOF of Joe Biden "rigging" the election! You must be out of your mind! Goodbye... Find another forum to mod.

I hate to say this, but you're 100% right.
Regardless of how bullshit the fraud claims are, they are relevant to this thread and people do in fact have the right to believe them and state that belief.

I try my best to be fair and balanced. That means neither side likes me. I am fine with this - I like being the villain, that's why I'm in the Politics section, modding the worst of the worst parts of the Temp to mod. Nobody is ever happy with the results, you'll always upset one side or the other, which is perhaps an accurate reflection of modern politics in general.

 

[White_Raven_X]

The issue here is that not even GBATEMP is willing to STOP the fake news and falsehoods that are destroying/dividing America! Thanks!

 

[Foxi4]

If we're done complaining now, which is all entirely off-topic, but I allowed it for the purposes of transparency, we can get back to the election news - the matter has been thoroughly discussed and it's about time to get back on-topic. If you have any further objections or criticism, you're welcome to message me - as I always say, I promptly respond to any job-related correspondence.

Ironic when you consider that Creepy Joe broke his leg playing with a dog.

It's ironic that you refer to Joe as "Creepy" but ignore the creepy behavior of Trump. Worth stressing they are both creeps and quite honestly neither of them deserves respect for their creepy behavior and history.

Joe's a little creepy, sure, but Donny is on record for molestation and invading underage changing rooms.
