But your assessment of the people is very different from reality. Interesting statement. Why do you not like certain towns? The structure of the streets, perhaps? No? Or could it be the people that create the town’s perception? Such virtue signaling is pathetic, love the holier than thou attitude you guys come up with.

Not the people at all, but thanks for assuming such things oh wise one. Travel enough and you realize there are cool people and also douchebags everywhere. But if you want an example, I can't stand Atlanta. Don't like the way the city is laid out. However, some of my best friends live there. For my style, the city doesn't offer me things that I would want and I find the place to kind of boring. Not mention that it's a pretty unwalkable city because it's so spread out. I place a high priority on walk-ability. Much the same could be said for L.A. Just dislike the general layout of that city with a passion and the severe lack of quick public transportation hurts it even more for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardin Drake 1,825 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 All the Russian interference talk...what specifically did they do? Some facebook ads that Mueller specifically said he can't tie to the Russian government? The hack of the DNC server that Mueller specifically said he doesn't know if the Russians were behind it? What, really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardin Drake 1,825 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 On and on about the troll farms. Mueller specifically can't link them to the Russian government, and does anybody think they had a material effect anyway, except for the New Yorker? So we are back to troll farms and the server hack, both not linked to the Russian government. Give me a couple of specifics from your articles that you think had a real influence.

jj3jordan 2,051 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Why can’t they just admit that despite all Trumps negative press, he just out worked her and took his message to more places than she did. He beat her. All those articles just said a lot of “could have might have maybe did”. Mostly serves to allow liberals and democrats to tell themselves that they didn’t just get beat. It was somebody else’s fault. Oh yeah and Trumps is a racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then why won't Trump 1) just admit they tried to influence our election and 2)why doesn't he make a commitment to preventing it in the next one? Those are the points I am discussing in this thread. No one can tell if they made a difference or not, but the election swung on less than 80k votes, so the possibility is real. It's a sad day for our country when so many people - including the POTUS - simply ignore election interference by a hostile country because it worked in their political favor. That's partisanship carried to a very unhealthy and unpatriotic extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody gets their voting information from Facebook. Nobody. Seriously if that’s your information stream then please DO NOT VOTE. Trump doesn’t own FB so maybe Zuckerberg could take care of preventing Russians from playing instead of censoring conservatives because they are...conservatives.

I see them all the time. This article rambles on about the word invasion. It IS an invasion. Also it displays uses of the word invasion since Jan ‘18. Hardly affected the 2016 election. I guess I assumed the electorate was a little smarter than you do. It’s becoming more clear now. The democrats are angry because the Russians figured out how to cheat better than they did, and used it against them. Now I get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the difficulty of getting around was a constant weight on everyone's shoulders and a constant topic of conversation. That's why we prioritized living in a neighborhood that had everything we liked/needed and that was adjacent to other neighborhoods that had nice things. Could never ever ever live in the ATL suburbs. I'm still laughing at "typical New Yorker". Haha, what a stupid thing to say. One of the most populous and diverse cities on the planet, but one jackass rich guy represents them all. How ignorant and embarrassing of a thing to say.

No, you cannot demonstrate they did - or didn't - make a difference. There is no way to determine how many votes they may have influenced. And while I don't do facebook, I recognize it's power. To say "nobody" gets political information from facebook is obviously not realistic. And facebook is not the only venue they operated in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, Monterey was by far the coolest place. You will have to visit the old canning company buildings when you're out there. Also visit Carmel. And for all that is good and just, you must eat some local chowder - washed down with a cold bloody mary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
