[QUOTE=Stroheim;50760782]Is it just me, or do the same 4 people star the posts that are pro democrat? I mean just saying. Look at the rates. Count how many times the same 3/4 users are in there. Also: Article was bad. Some facts went from "Okay makes sense" to "We used Politifact, got this opinionated answer, and now changed the words a bit", with just enough being the latter for it to be noticeable.[/QUOTE] Yeah, wow, it's almost like people with similar political opinions tend to support eachother. I bet it doesn't work that way with the right-wingers. You sure are on to something there.

Shocker. Nobody gives a shit about ratings anyways.
[QUOTE=RIPBILLYMAYS;50760508]I'm right here you know. Look I am just trying to present an argument and you guys demonize me for calling out BS and presenting additional information in anti-Trump threads. I don't care if you agree with me or not but I want people to have informed opinions rather than labeling others and writing one liners as a counter argument. [editline]22nd July 2016[/editline] You know that where information comes from does not determine its accuracy, it is how the data is collected. Call out the stats for being bull because they did something wrong in reporting or collecting the data rather than dismissing it for being from a white supremacist site. And I'm not defending Trump pulling up inaccurate shit, its like saying "oh well even though she falsely accused him of rape shes still bringing the issue of rape to the stage". I am trying to make practical sense out of the shit being spewed on both sides of the election. Trump really ought to do a better job of providing his sources but do you [I]really[/I] think he is lying for the sake of attention? He has said he uses statisticians for his data (at least for information on the different states) so its entirely possible they feed him this information and he remembers the important parts. Again he [B]really should provide his sources[/B] but I don't believe he's lying.[/QUOTE] I'd go with Occam's razor instead for the simplest answer: he's an uninformed idiot using deliberately wrong facts, bad sources, and relying on confirmation bias by selecting "information" that fits his views and none other.
I think RIPBILLYMAYS is just getting material for a new videos of his. :v:
[QUOTE=RIPBILLYMAYS;50760251]You are missing the entire point. Why are you focusing on Trump being wrong in his statistics, rather than being concerned with what those statistics actually mean? Like how do you REDUCE the same race on race violence? Why is it higher for African Americans than for any other race? These are the important issues, who gives a fuck what the candidates say when you can pull up a different source and say they're inaccurate.[/QUOTE] if what the statistics mean is drastically altered by the context they're in, then your insistence Trump cares about the issues is as hollow as it's possible to be.
