Can't say I was aware that there was a subreddit for this board, but even then, that does not change the notion that acting like this board has literally any sway over anyone is reaching. I can't imagine people going "wow x user on a board on a gaming board I can't view said the Dems bad, guess I'm voting for Trump now."

Which again is disingenuous in nature to believe.

Thoughts posted here do not exist in a vacuum nor does the thoughts posted here actually stay here.

You are willfully ignoring Gamefaqs is not some isolated "walled off" bubble, that doesnt share a collective trend across the globe of being more critical of Democrats than Republicans. Its not just "X user on gamefaqs." Its a collective amount of people from multiple avenues all parroting it, which in turn reaffirms it to many types of people. Multiple avenues that do not exist in a vacuum of thought.

When multiple people from many spans of life are collectively parroting a narrative, that has an affect on the whole. We literally see it has an affect as we have multiple examples of average uneducated voters who genuinely believe it is worth going 3rd party, or not voting at all, or worse voting Trump. All because its not just one avenue chanting to criticize Democrats more than Republicans.

It doesnt matter how isolated you think one specific avenue is given that narrative quite clearly doesnt exist in a vacuum, and quite clearly isnt limited to just one specific mouth piece or place of media.
