Hotter, Badder, and Unpopularer Takes

For supposedly being a more liberal and tolerant forum, Atlas is fairly Islamophobic,

Holy sh!t look at BRTD throw down on that thread lol

It’s liberal, but that carries no inherent indication it will also be tolerant ... and it’s not.

Yeah I have started to learn this the hard way lol, this place is so left wing that it gets to the point of liking guns a bit and disliking Islam. I am a believer in the horseshoe theory.

"Negative. False religion, pedophile and murderer for a founder and continues to repress women and gays. Also bans alcohol consumption, that alone equals negative even if the rest was disregarded." BRTD  April 14, 2010

Disappointing.

Manchin surviving this late in the game even given basically any circumstance, is still super impressive, and he catches sh!t for it anyways, which is lame of people to do, because anyone else would have lost.

2010 Atlas is pretty different than 2019 Atlas , heck the Atlas when I first registered here in Dec of 2014 was very different too.

Second the results of the poll is not Islamophobic though many posts in that thread are. You can find a religion itself to be terrible without also disliking people who believe in that religion. The latter is Islamophobic but the former is not

This is fair enough, but even ignoring the poll results, it still is an ugly look.

Patrick Murphy is far better looking than Marco Rubio, deal with it.

That certainly doesn't sound like something someone who's "all liberal, all the time" would say... is BRTD a fraud?!

What's non-liberal about that statement?

It's vastly overgeneralizing and stereotypical starters. Indian Flute inability to discern differences between practices and beliefs of second generation Muslims in Suburban Portland versus lobbyist in Saudi Arabia is quintessentially anti-liberal.

And incidentally, I'm a convert from Catholicism to protestantism, and your attitude towards Catholicism smacks of bigotry as well.

Bigoted Republican Trumpist Divider?

Nick Saban would do better than Doug Jones even as a democrat.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

you know also I straight up believe that Nipsey Hussle was killed by the govt.

Legit straight up being real here dude, this is above politics or anything else, you are either trolling or there is something off with you.

With the exception of bbq flavor, baked lays taste miles better than regular lays. Also fritos are nasty.

Nick Saban would do better than Doug Jones even as a democrat.

Is this controversial? As the Democratic nominee, he would probably win any election in Alabama against any Republican, assuming he didn't gaffe away on the hot-button wedge issues.

Idk just thought saying he would do better than an incumbent would be controversial.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

MN-08 is almost as vulnerable for Republicans as MN-01.

Because both are Safe R.

Jones would edge out Moore in a rematch again.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Jones would edge out Moore in a rematch again.

I don’t think that qualifies as a hot take - at least against Moore.

Really? I thought the general consensus is a 15-20 point loss against a generic republican, and a 5-10 point loss against Moore?

This one is my dad’s not sure if I agree, but he thinks Senator Graham is a closet gay.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

This one is mine, I want a complete and total nazi to run for presidency as an independent with the armband, the hate speech, the hitler salutes, the whole nine yards, and blame Trump and say he is not with the white people etc, and siphon off a point or two from the republicans.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

There is absolutely no way that Trump does not lose at least a few points in Coal Country from what he had in 2016, even if he once again wins it in a huge landslide.

I agree.

Have you considered that that Nazi could insight violence against minorities from his followers?

Yeah, but things are already so bad I'd be fine with making things worse for a few months in a valiant effort to make them better in the end.

Congratulations. That post is simultaneously so white mayonnaise puts IT on White Bread, and simultaneously deserves the facepalm meme.

Think about what you're saying. I realize this is an extremely far-fetched idea, and you're just venting. Nevertheless, do you realize how it is minorities might die in order that the Republicans would lose an election?

It's not just republicans losing an election, it is getting rid of Trump, something I value so much that if Trump was guaranteed to resign or lose reelection, I'd be willing to trade in my life for it. Make no mistake, Trump is an enemy and we need to push back against him, and with any push we have to expect losses, but know that the gain will be worth it in the end, and take the words of President Washington to heart "We Mutually Pledge To Each Other Our Lives, Our Fortunes And Our Sacred Honor" Make no mistake, another term of Trump will permanently alter our democracy and kill at least several thousand more through its policies. We have to see it as the threat it is, and be willing to push back, and even take severe losses. I actually shared this with my dad, and he completely agreed with me. We all have to be willing to sacrifice a lot as individuals and a community to rid us of Trump. And by the way, I proudly have Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Yeah he is a boomer.

It is. And not a particularly funny one imo.

He was not even trying to be funny, like he legit thinks so and was being serious when telling me that he thinks that.

If Manchin was the prez nominee in 2008 for the dems, he would have destroyed McCain by double digits in the WV Prez GE.

Scalding take: Joe Biden would narrowly beat Trump in PA 8th CD.

Don't let IceSpear here you

I actually agree though. Bernie could win it too.

Eh, idk about Bernie, I only said that because it's Biden's turf and he fits it ok still.
