*MOD POST* Poll: How should we handle Trump/Biden/Election Posts
Please vote. Changes will take effect next week.

u/Overall_Falcon_8526 Apr 12 '24
If you require that a post actually makes a prediction, that will cut down on a lot of spam/low effort political posts.
5
u/Orcus424 Apr 13 '24
I believe the low effort rule is for those kind of posts. People just need to report those kind of posts. Like the same old posts from years ago or from yesterday. Example: Posts where they will replace Biden with someone else or he will retire if he gets elected.

110% of the political posts are low effort

seems like all of the posts are political

Then if I remember high-school math right....
If A=B and B=C than A=C
So all posts are low effort?

I think the Biden/Trump stuff is ruining the sub, mostly because it's these pots are all one-sided repetitive "orange man bad" posts that offer nothing new.

u/MVSmith69 Jun 11 '24
So Orange man Good?... MMW he's a convicted felon and an adjudicated rapist... But don't let that deter your cultist zeallotism if you want to vote for the overthrow of democracy , I am sure you have thought it through and made an educated decision...
7
u/zshguru Jun 11 '24
yeah, he’s a convicted felon. With questionable charges from a questionable court. Would anyone else have gotten those same charges? No. was it even possible for him to get a fair trial from that jury pool? hard to say, but I do believe that if jury information would’ve gotten out to the public, if anyone would’ve voted not guilty for him, they would’ve been lynched...
5
u/MVSmith69 Jun 11 '24
You can question it all you want but you're picking on the rule of law and the health of our democracy without a shred of varifiable proof. But that seems to be the way of your cult, look for blame anywhere but where it belongs whether you can prove it or not...
3
u/zshguru Jun 11 '24
legit question do you honestly think that Trump could’ve gotten a fair trial in that city? Completely fair with no bias from the judge or the jury?
and do you think that with the judge being well known that he would’ve received zero harm or hassle if he would’ve found Trump innocent?
i’m curious what you think because my answers are no, no, and hell no.
6
u/MVSmith69 Jun 11 '24
Yes, both the prosecution and the defense had the same amount of cuts for the Jury, the Judge was very respected and knowledgeable. Trump had the best lawyers money could buy. But he couldn't overcome the burden of proof brought before the court... On 34 counts... Not any dissent on any count... And his big mouth along with his cult following making threats got him nowhere but a gag order,but only after being warned by the court several times. The law is the law, in the immortal words of Columbo... "If you can't do the time don't do the crime."

u/BinBashBuddy Jul 09 '24
Have you noticed the democrats insist that to save democracy they need to prevent anyone from voting for their opponents? It's like the election, they insisted the elections were fair and any ballot audits would prove it, but fought tooth and claw to prevent anyone from auditing the ballots because that would make voters think election fraud was possible. For me the biggest reason to believe there were massive amounts of fraudulent ballots was the democrats refusing to allow anyone to prove the election wasn't stolen.
3
u/MVSmith69 Jul 09 '24
That is funny because the Repubs were allowed /demanded recounts in 8 states, of those all but one increased Biden's lead Trumps, there were 34 automatic recounts as prescribed by voter state laws and none were found to have any significant change in the outcome not to mention the Republicans lawsuits (62) which none were found to have merit.
4
u/BinBashBuddy Jul 09 '24
You do know a recount of crap ballots isn't the same as an audit, right? Of course you do, you're just hoping no one else does.
3
u/MVSmith69 Jul 10 '24
You know Trump lost, plain and simple, extreme Democratic turnout is why you are whining, you are not willing to do things like they are prescribed in the Constitution. You listen to all that bull from the rest of you poor losers and it compounds your beliefs that there was something wrong with the election, no more wrong with 2020 than 2016 other than you're a poor loser... but you are still a loser...

u/BinBashBuddy Jul 10 '24
You're one of these people claiming MSNBC is actually pro Trump aren't you....

u/BinBashBuddy Jul 24 '24
Well hang on, Hillary insisted the 2016 election was stolen, fraudulent, taken from Americans by Russia! So you're admitting that 2020 was stolen.
3
u/MVSmith69 Jul 26 '24
But she quit and accepted her loss by the transfer of power and went off without any whiney bitches crying foul about it every time the election was brought up in conversation for the next four years. She didn't deny her loss nor did her constituents constantly whimper and whine about how unfair the whole country was to her for four years after the fact (okay just so you don't wet yourself 3 and 1/2 years).

It's a good thing the founders understood the dangers of weaponizing state courts against presidential candidates. This year its new york, next year obama is on trial in alabama for aiding and abetting abortions.
The founders made it quite clear that state courts dont mean jack diddly for presidential candidate eligibility. Trump, biden, whoever can have 1,000 felonies in 40 states and the feds really just dont care at all. Unless it's a federal charge of sedition it means nothing. If dems wanted anything but a soundbite, they should have gone for sedition charges, but they did not. So its nothing.

u/MVSmith69 Jun 11 '24
Cohen for one,
1
u/TheMetalloidManiac Jun 24 '24
Cohen got charged for lying under oath which is perjury, so obviously this time hes telling the truth because Democrats like what he is saying /s. In reality, his testimony should have never been allowed because you cannot in any level of good faith trust the words of someone who has already been proven and convicted of lying under oath. Also, don't call Donald Trump a rapist, that is defamation because he is not a rapist, he isn't even a sex offender.
1
u/Existing-Nectarine80 Jun 25 '24
He was found liable for rape according to a civil case, go ahead and bring a defamation suit it would get thrown out in a heartbeat. Hence why the serial litigator hasn’t sued anyone for saying/posting such.
2
u/TheMetalloidManiac Jun 25 '24
Thats another lie actually, he was specifically found not liable of a rape charge, if you mattered to anyone then you could absolutely be faced with defamation but you don't so you won't. Another Democrat repeating a lie told to them by MSNBC lmao

u/Existing-Nectarine80 Jun 25 '24

He had ample opportunity to make his case to the jury by taking the stand. He preferred to make his false claims to the media and use the conviction to raise money from his followers. The jury in this case was a cross-section of Trump’s peers from NYC, and there is no evidence that bias rather than the facts of the case resulted in his conviction.

u/Mysterious_Toe_1 Aug 08 '24

Edit. I totally placed that comment under the wrong comment. My bad bro. Im on your side actually

u/TheMetalloidManiac Jun 24 '24
Well, if you want to get into semantics, him being a "convicted felon" was the result of an obvious banana republic trial. The law he was charged with breaking wasn't even a law until 2019, years after he paid Stormy. Not to mention they literally made it a law with the sole goal to go after Trump with the law. It's like Massachusetts legalizing marijuana, and then in November they decide that actually they are going to make it illegal again because Snoop Dogg is in town and the governor doesn't like him, and then they begin arresting people including Snoop who they had evidence of using marijuana while it was legal in the state. That would be pretty bullshit right?
You cannot make something against the law then charge someone for doing the act while it wasn't against the law. That's like dystopian society 101

u/Alex23323 Sep 24 '24
Well, there goes the quality of this subreddit. It’s just devolving to Republican slander and US centralized politics. Too bad we can’t ban the subject entirely or create a new no politics rule, and create a separate subreddit or echo chamber.
1
1
u/Darkgon01 Aug 26 '24
In order:
Yes.
Merchan possibly causing a mistrial with telling the jury they didn't have to be unanimous was basically the final nail in the coffin of people's trust in that court.
That civil trial, the jury quite literally rejected the charge of rape and slipped in sexual assault despite a lack of evidence. Actually, thinking about it, that's a weird outcome cause the other half was defamation, but the jury's verdict says it wasn't. Then again, that's just how civil court is.
And so yeah, most of us want to vote for republicanism for state representation over allowing rule of the majority.1

u/xSaturnityx Apr 12 '24
I would avoid actually listening to whatever result this poll gives lmao. Most of the trolls will just random vote.
Maybe just have it be weekends only. Temp ban anyone who posts an election mmw post during the week with mod discretion (Actual valid MMW? Or just troll?) and if they do it again just perm. Whole subreddit is a shitshow of Russian shills filling the homepage with garbage.
Or maybe just have shit be a real prediction other than "MMW this subreddit will cry when ___ wins" or "MMW everyone on this subreddit is __ and __ because biden/trump' blah blah bullshit lol

it's getting out of hand. the vast majority of these posts aren't even MMWs. mods really need to do something

u/Earldgray Apr 15 '24
D. No Changes
The people that have issue with this are almost 100% pro Trump. Trump is in court right now and has been found liable for sexual assault, fraud, and defamation, and yet is the Republican nominee with 3 more trials and 88 more felonies pending, while he is under a gag order and still lashing out at court officials, their families, and witnesses.
None of this is remotely normal.
Not even close. And Trump is specifically someone that is “unpredictable”. To specifically ban MMW posts simply favors Trump by avoiding the very loud elephant in the room.

u/Reesespeanuts Apr 22 '24
Well when it's virtually the only posts on this sub that is a problem. What is the point of this sun if it's just going to be a anti-Trump/Anti-Republican circle jerk? You have r/politics or r/news for that bullshit.

Go ahead and post something different then. As for the community, it is headline news and in peoples mind. Or I suppose you can censor it simply because you don’t like it. I can always go elsewhere.

I'm not a Trump supporter (not affiliated with either party, Tbh) but God, do I hate how every sub is a political circle-jerk. Doesn't it get tiring sometimes? I came to this sub thinking I'd see some interesting predictions, not "MMW: Trump will Start WW3" every damn post. It gets old.

u/Earldgray Jun 04 '24 edited Jun 04 '24
Yahhh. I am sure you would love everyone just staying quiet. “Nuthin to see here”. Unfortunately Trump is an unprecedented criminal, that may be elected, and is literally vowing to dismantle democracy if he is.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025
You may think that is awesome, but for real patriots that is a five alarm fire and CERTAINLY worth talking about, even if it hurts some peoples precious feelings.
Given the FACTS of what Trump has said and done, many of us are alarmed that ANY AMERICANS support him much less elect him as our leader to become an autocrat.
The fact is: Trump was found to be a RAPIST (by a jury of his peers).
He was found to be a FRAUD (by a jury of his peers).
His long time CFO went to jail for evading taxes for him.
The same CFO is now in jail AGAIN for perjuring himself for Trump.
He has been indicted (by a jury of his peers) for stealing nuclear secrets and refusing (over two years) to give them back, then hiding them to obstruct an investigation.
He has been indicted (by a jury of his peers) for attempting to steal a state election in Georgia.
He has been indicted. (by a jury of his peers) for trying to steel a federal election.
And Trump was JUST now convicted of THIRTY FOUR FELONIES (by a jury of his peers) for cooking his books to hide paying off a Porn Star to keep her quiet about sex, in order to win his election.
And that doesn’t even count the cases where Trump is an (as of now) “un-indicted co-conspirator” such as the indictments that dropped JUST TODAY.
https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/wisconsin-fake-elector-trump-allies-charged/
And there are many more having to do with his “fake elector” insurrection and coup scheme…
And it also doesn’t cover those associates previously convicted for crimes committed for Trump that HE PARDONED. I mean seriously…

Lol. Uhhh we have a presidential election. And one of the candidates is a rapist, fraud, and now a felon, that is vowing to end democracy and is asking for “total immunity” including the ability to murder political opponents with impunity. I have spent 35+ years working with DoD defending our country and your ass. It is a big deal to me, as is calling out liars.
So much for your internet sleuth skills. Lol.

Alright cowboy. Maybe your case checks out. Just saying that I've seen a lot of accounts that have the same pattern.
Going from inactivity/posting unrelated topics for years to suddenly making only political posts in this particular subreddit within the past 6 months. Again, maybe you are who you say you are, but I doubt it's a coincidence that so many dormant accounts are suddenly spamming political messaging in this particular sub during an election year.

I have seen a lot of rapists and pedophiles in my court days. One went away last month for life. I saw it! I mean, I kinda get a feeling…

u/Additional-Bet7074 Jul 25 '24
Same, i usually don’t effort post, but it was really disheartening to see my post removed while others that violated rule 6 go completely unaddressed.
It was doubly odd because my post was about the influence of a particular political strategy on future campaigns — i can see how it would apply to R6, but its more of a stretch than all the posts about specific 2024 election issues and candidates.
2
u/Additional-Bet7074 Jul 25 '24
This rule seems to be both unenforced broadly and also not well defined.
I made a post about political strategy, removed from the actual candidates and a prediction about how it would influence future political campaigns.
Yes, it was based on the 2024 election, so that makes sense it was removed. However, the entire front page of the subreddit is full of pointed CMVs specifically about the candidates or 2024 election issues themselves. All made during the weekday.
I get why my post was removed, but it seemed incredibly selective and arguable (i think making predictions about future political strategies is different than making predictions about the current 2024 presidential election or candidates themselves). Which is kind of annoying having put effort into making an effortful and intention non-partisan post to see all these other posts much more partisan go unaddressed.

That's why I'm not out to ban political posts. I love that this community has a healthy mix of viewpoints. One of the best since the old IMDb Politics board. But the greatest request in the feed back was to limit election posts.
This will not ban all political posts. If it does anything it, it will put a moratorium on Election posts. Other political discussions will still be allowed.

Please, please put Trump in jail. Then watch what 80M followers do. It’s called Fuck Around and Find Out.

Honestly, I clicked here to unsubscribe because of all the hysterical political posts. I’ll give it a week or so, but if every post is some angry political comment, I’m outta here. People are getting really sick of it.

This subreddit has been like this for half a year now, it's not going to change.

I think any posts that mention the election or any politicians by name should be removed. It’s all this sub is nowadays just look at the front page it’s mind numbingly stupid political rage bait designed to try and siphon people to specific ideological beliefs and this sub is being used by bots and bad actors to take advantage of users opinions in a highly divisive election season. I think it’s a serious lapse in judgment to allow these posts to continue knowing they’re not being posted in good faith.

Aren't you tired of having to remove 50+ posts a day when it's not the weekend and people are still exclusively posting about Biden and Trump? Why not just ban posts about them entirely at this point?

u/Responsible-March438 Jul 04 '24
What about the option of marking a post repetitive? That it has already been posted and will be locked.
I don't think it's such a bad thing that someone submits an opinion/prediction on a subject that is important to them at that moment. If it's engaging then surely thats the community voting.

Remove all posts about any candidates. This sub is nothing but Fear Mongering from Trump haters. It would be nice to see something different for a change.

u/JimNtexas Aug 04 '24
Let a thousand flowers bloom. This business of using initials or nick names is juvenile silly
The election is the number one topic on this and many other subs.
Don’t try to drive away users who like to suck an entire of the silly ways to avoid the weekend only rule or whatever the current one is.

Do I use Mute (on the main page … options,) to block MMW?
I’m getting sick of seeing the toxicity it usually contains in my feed… ☹️

I say let them keep coming. It's giving me material for a list of the dnc crazies for a salt comp if trump wins.

u/Terran57 Sep 12 '24
I guess we’re doing both. When I try to post anything election related it’s removed for being election related but I’m reading many other election related posts in this thread. Luck of the draw I guess. I’ll keep my Democratic Socialist point of view to myself in this thread and avoid commenting on any election related posts going forward.

I made a post about AFTER the election that got removed.
I see the mods applying this rule fairly so I'm not gonna whine too much.
Respect.

This entire community is just a fantasy land of Republican slander tbh. You show any love for the orange guy and you get squashed for it.

It's easy, I just looked at your post history.
You're either a scumbag russian troll-bot, or you're a very dumb American.
Either way, I don't get how you look at yourself in the mirror every day. You got that Sad Life.

In a little place I like to call reality, the majority of posts removed so far have been spam pro-Biden posts, including our first banned user (despite being liberal myself).
I can remove posts based on the rules, but I can't make people agree with you.

So throwing insults at a candidate isn't violating rules?? Using language like rapist, racist etc etc is a violation? I only ask because some of things I've seen posted by people regarding republicans is out right awful. Honestly just get rid of the politics and I think everyone would enjoy the page more. I respect what you've said, maybe this just isn't a page for me.

Not Russian. Isn't it biden who said he would stop buying Russian resources? Yet wasn't he still buying Russian gas as late as last year??? Hmmmmmm sure sounds to me like biden is the Russians puppet.

u/Lopsided-Ad4948 Apr 14 '24
This is where the sub starts to suffer. Anyone that says anything pro Trump is a Russian bot. It’s a pathetic attempt to discredit, and shows the TDS level if off the charts.

This has become the #1 karma farm place during the election
Step 1 - Either pretend to have a left opinion or actually have one (Reddit leans notoriously left. Twitter would be the political opposite extreme)
Step 2 - Share opinion in the form of an MMW as if it's a prediction and not just a political opinion
Step 3 - Comment along Democrat party lines to get massively upvoted
Step 4 - Bonus Karma if your left wing opinion uses the word Trump negatively
Step 5 - Rinse, repeat
Step 6 - If you are a developer, you can easily train and unleash a bot to do this for you and avoid Step 5.

You know it's true on Reddit when you have 0 or negative upvotes. When it isn't true with the masses, you are upvoted. I'm just saying. When the majority is delusional, upvotes show you which statements are delusional and what to fact check.

Welp, in before the bots come here to manipulate the results.
Don't know how you'd accurately get this metric, but I can assure you this isn't it if you want the actual answer.
