I know this board is to "let your voices count"! But really folks!
The vast majority and this is NO exaggeration, of people making personal,subjective, unsubstantiated "voices count" is just pathetic... IN my opinion!
I don't have time to do a study of the board's contributors' penchant to blow out of proportion, to make statements as facts without any substantiation and just plain LIE to get their biased and uninformed opinion in print!
Now some of you may complain..."what's this have to do with "US Politics"?
When the vast majority of contributions in this forum use exaggerations, exceptional situations, i.e. simply stating without any validation it contributes to misinformation. Misinformation leads to opinions being formed and when pollsters contact some of us on this forum and we pass that misinformation on the pollsters tally and politicians with their finger in the air say YUP... (for instance..) Trump is anti-immigrant"!
And as a result idiot politicians without doing the simplest research would find as I did when I do a Google search... "Trump anti immigrant quotes", About 2,660,000 results!
And so this MYTH that Trump who's wife is a LEGAL IMMIGRANT, hates all immigrants! Is anti-immigrant!
When in fact he like me loves and respects and admires "LEGAL IMMIGRANTS" who take the time and effort to become an American... and in doing so LIKE my daughter-in-law from a communist country LOVES America! She like Trump's wife and millions of LEGAL immigrants are really upset that the idiots like those of you on this board don't comprehend the gross distinction that simple little adjective "LEGAL" means!
And this is just one example of the gross ignorance of many people in America who lead by the biased MSM form political opinions based on 1) no substantiation... just guesses...2) the biased MSM which has been shown time after time to be left leaning/progressive/America hating.
If those of you on the left would at least offer me some substantiation for your opinions which is for the most part what I do more times then not, I strongly encourage! Because making important political decisions based on FACTS rather then emotional subjective, rare exceptional situations and making them the rule,..i.e.
"Cops hate blacks, therefore more blacks killed by cops then white" for example might mitigate some of the wild eyed statements that pollsters count and politicians with their fingers in the air believe. Which is why for example we have the WH hosting "Black Lives Matter".. that chant...
