Yeah, I ran into it a couple days ago. Reddit was trying to suppress it.

2018-07-25 23:09:49 UTC  

Bookmarked it immediately.

2018-07-25 23:10:50 UTC  

Reddit seems like it does that kind of thing a lot.

2018-07-25 23:11:05 UTC  

It's the whole modulus operandi of Reddit at this point.

2018-07-25 23:11:14 UTC  

Brigades are so common now it's painful.

2018-07-25 23:11:23 UTC  

ShareBlue has extended it's reach everywhere.

2018-07-25 23:11:46 UTC  

I think a lot of people might have abstained from voting, or threw away their vote to third parties. As much as they stayed home

2018-07-25 23:11:51 UTC  

The thread I found it on had maybe one comment that wasn't just mindlessly attacking Trump. Most weren't even relevant.

2018-07-25 23:12:11 UTC  

3rd party votes weren't that much higher than normal though, atleast in swing states.

2018-07-25 23:12:14 UTC  

That too @Grenade123

2018-07-25 23:12:56 UTC  

Third parties did well. I bet a lot of those people who voted third party were also internet people

2018-07-25 23:13:18 UTC  

I know that's what I did. I had a feeling trump might win, and hoped he would basically do what he was doing. But I just don't really like him as a person. Never really have.

2018-07-25 23:13:27 UTC  

Although he is growing on me

2018-07-25 23:13:47 UTC  

^ same. Though I'm less happy with Trump than when he was elected. I'm more terrified of the left.

2018-07-25 23:14:03 UTC  

Trump's too incompetent to do anything too damaging. But the Democrats...

2018-07-25 23:14:12 UTC  

Growing on a lot of people if those recent polls are accurate.

2018-07-25 23:14:12 UTC  

Californian bills banning "fake news"

2018-07-25 23:14:40 UTC  

Maybe. I think it's more likely the moderate Republicans are falling in line, which isn't really enough to win.

2018-07-25 23:14:51 UTC  

And it won't help the Republicans much int he midterms.

2018-07-25 23:16:15 UTC  

I saw that fake news bill @pratel . It hasn’t passed though. Right?

2018-07-25 23:16:25 UTC  

Not to my knowledge.

2018-07-25 23:16:32 UTC  

What has trump done that makes you like him less? Outside of these risky trade wars

2018-07-25 23:16:52 UTC  

Terrified me it was even on the table though. I've seen what the left has done at the Universities.

2018-07-25 23:17:24 UTC  

When Tim was talking about how you can tell which candidate would win just by looking at them it reminded me of this video. A lot of people voted for Hillary just because she was a woman but when the genders were swapped it was very easy to see why she was a terrible candidate. https://youtu.be/2qzNpUvpkDU

2018-07-25 23:17:27 UTC  

Trade wars, inability to shut up. Not fond of how the debt went (though that's not necessarily his fault).

2018-07-25 23:17:41 UTC  

On an issue-by-issue basis there's very little I'm actually upset at.

2018-07-25 23:17:43 UTC  

The only thing that Trump has done that pissed me off was bombing Syria.

2018-07-25 23:17:47 UTC  

There's not much to be pleased by either.

2018-07-25 23:17:59 UTC  

Eh? I guess.

2018-07-25 23:18:13 UTC  

I've got a list of people I'd prefer, but I'm not completely opposed.

2018-07-25 23:18:39 UTC  

I was ok with Syria. You have to stand by your threats if you want to get taken seriously. It didn't escalate.

2018-07-25 23:19:06 UTC  

Syria is a bit of a disaster overall and i's really complicated to get into.

2018-07-25 23:20:29 UTC  

The reset of trade tariffs is a good thing in my opinion. The world is pissed, but that’s because they’re losing some pretty sweet deals.

2018-07-25 23:20:31 UTC  

Valid critisms. Although him not shutting up is bring entertainment. Makes me remember the bush days before Obama.

2018-07-25 23:20:56 UTC  

I agree the outcome is potentially good. But it's worrying.

2018-07-25 23:21:07 UTC  

EU I'm not concerned about, it's china

2018-07-25 23:21:24 UTC  

It’s going to be hard. That’s no lie. It’s going to be a fight.

2018-07-25 23:21:31 UTC  

That's the war I worry that won't end quickly and a lot of damage could be done

2018-07-25 23:21:32 UTC  

To be fair, he might have "won" the trade war with Europe insofar as it's "winnable." I'll have to see what terms there are. It is breaking news.

2018-07-25 23:21:42 UTC  

I saw

2018-07-25 23:22:13 UTC  

But they were most likely to fold. They need our markets too much
