Current Events > Is the internet more republican or democratic?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've never thought that way at all but the amount of trolling and idiocy that goes on I tend to think it's more republican but who knows. People are just asshats?

When i'm thinking out loud I more try to see what the right situation is has nothing to do with being republican or democratic. I tend to think that is more democratic in ways but not really at least how the parties are now.

There is some crazy stuff out there. I tend to think the crazies are republicans but some aren't. Who knows. I used to just think they were crazy and assanine. Because they are.

It's less of both. By which I mean: views expressed online tend to feature more broad opinions than just partisan support for Republicans or Democrats. The internet skews younger, and young people (millennials in particular) aren't particularly attached to either party (which isn't to say they are moderates or centrists).

Stop blaming your side's crazies on our side's crazies

I just used to think people were crazy and assanine that's the thing. I used to not even think in political terms but the internet is weird that way.

I just wonder if trolls tend to be republican or democratic. IT may be neither. They may just be annoying. I can be sarcastic but don't troll like that. It's more just annoyiing and i'm honest when you are trying to have intelligent conversations and all you run into is trolls and i'm aware of it now.

I am pretty straightforward with poltical stuff and republicans are screwy right now and trollish. Liberals can be assholes too though. whatever that means. There is dumb on both sides though.

For every 20 people here using political terms to insult there might be 1 that actually claim one of the sides. I like to think people are deeper than being stuck to political views

it depends on what site you are on

It's hard to say. Forums basically work like this:

Usually around equal, barring site owner views manipulating things. Things usually turn to shit when a mod with a specific bias shows up and is more likely to mod those of the opposite political affiliation. Then the forum becomes unbalanced, and the larger side begins belittling, bullying and troll marking the others for moderation until it's like 90/10 one way or the other. Then it doesn't matter what common sense you post, if you're the 10 you'll be trolled/bullied and ridiculed until you stop posting. People, especially the politically indoctrinated who can't see past the stupidity of "left versus right" love the echo chamber of their own views.

^And that my friends is the majority of political forums with Gamefaqs being the extreme left variation.

In true democratic sense wouldn't a democrat be less apt to do that though and be more democratic. I get the parties now are screwy and trying to control everyone regardless but typically a democrat much prefers to be "democratic" in the definition of the word. A democrat can troll just the same I guess.

Definitely Republican, although many of them are Democrats pretending to be Republican.
