The same people who hysterically emote about disinformation, misinformation, and Trump’s “lies” are flogging the Vance couch thing about. It makes the whole russian troll argument performative and null.

OMG! SOMEONE MADE A FUNNY!!!

We better throw out women’s rights.

If you have to repeatedly say something is funny-in all caps no less- it’s not funny.

DP. Not entirely clear who is throwing out of women’s rights with more alacrity, the Democrats or the Republicans. Both parties are leaning in hard on misogyny.

Yes, so, as usual, the MAGA posters have managed to derail any conversation.

You're weird, you're unpleasant.

I do love how you have objectively demonstrated the point that anyone who isn’t extreme left-wing is “MAGA” to you and a bunch of other posters.

I think is an effort to "own the libs" that is destroying the ability for a wide range of opinions across the middle.

I also think there is an inability to disagree without insulting or showing contempt for a differing opinion that does appear at the far sides of the political spectrum.

This all said, nothing on here changes who I am going to vote for. I do find it a great location to get interesting perspectives and news early. I don't go on X, so I like that it takes me straight to some good links.

It’s too Trumpy here now. It’s not worth engaging with the trolls who aren’t posting in good faith.

Funny, I was thinking the opposite.

Guess you haven’t been here long. It was much better before the MAGA troll infestation.

You mean DCUM is only for those who follow and totally agree with Dem and far left policies like sheep? I am an Anti-Trump moderate but right leaning voter. And can honestly say it's the LWNJs that have soured my view of DCUM. Automatic foul language used for simply posting my support for certain policies.

Most people in the DC area are Ds. That doesn't stop the RWNJ trolls from infesting the forums.

Why do you consider comments with views different from yours as posted by trolls?

I didn't realize this was a forum only for those who totally agree with liberal Dem political opinions. Calling anyone a troll simply confirms that liberal Dems are close minded.

Yes DCUM leans heavily to the left. The liberal dems on here seem to be more hateful and nasty towards those who share a different political opinion. It's too bad because I enjoy reading different points of views from both sides but the angry, hateful posts predominately coming from the leftists posting here are very off putting.

They really are hateful. Liberals seem to excel at hateful, venomous posts

Maybe they’re tired of the incessant MAGA lies and efforts to take away people’s rights.

Except I myself am not "extreme left-wing" - and yes, it's obvious that the people derailing the conversation are MAGA.

No. It’s impossible to have an intelligent conversation on DCUM for more than 3-4 posts. I come here 95% for entertainment and 5% to learn.

So they should die? Gee, that’s just how America should work.

I agree, if your entertainment tastes run to dark comedy and horror.

I don’t mind the trolls, far-left, or far-right, as much as I do the heavily biased moderation particularly on fact based statements. Once I saw this insane tipping the scales, I drastically reduced forum participation.

No, posts here are not changing my mind. But as I watch magas sling mud, post far right talking points and tweets, insult liberals and those of us who use this site specifically, it has reinforced my thoughts that a lot of Republicans could boil their political beliefs down to a personality disorder. Weird and unpleasant people who seem to enjoy trying to bother and insult people, and usually in both ignorance and arrogance.

What do you think about the JD Vance thread re the couch? Why do you think the mod deleting the fact check that shows the couch rumor is false?

I’ve seen recent posts from moderates that seem reasonable and your immediate response is “MAGA,” so I don’t believe you are not extreme left-wing.
