Sherdog POTWR: Round 2: The Debate

[irish_thug]

Although I disagree with their standpoint on many things I do view @JDragon and @Jack V Savage as war room staples. That leads me to believe that they do in fact have the war room's best interests at heart. As an outsider @Palis just doesn't have a dog in the race, although he does align closer to me on the political spectrum. I honestly have never been this torn in an election.

Make the smart choice. Vote Panamaican.

 

[panamaican]

I applaud your unbridled arrogance.

As you should. As one of the more intelligent posters here, you set a fine example for the others by holding me in high esteem.

Hillary Clinton was a political staple. So is Angela Merkel.

Follow your conscience.

@Palis/Dr J 2016

@Palis/Dr J 2016

Great point. Inarguable actually.

 

[Dr J]

I'm not a fan of how much attention the mediocre parts of the field are getting. Do I have to remind you people:

While the @Palis/Dr J campaign respects the excellence coming from the bladder of the @panamaican campaign, we also maintain that our administration will stand to promote family values but maintain an openess to dissenting opinions.

We feel this separates us from the @panamaican campaign; who, when asked about family values and how he would deal with a person with opposing political views, had this to say:

Spoiler: Panamaican Campaign Promise

Say "no" to political oppression.

Say "no" to child abuse.

Say "no" to Panamaican for War Room President.



With a clean conscience, vote @Palis/Dr J 2016 and fight the good fight.

Spoiler: PS

@Palis would love to sign your baby, but please refrain from hurling your son in our direction. Thank you.

This election is really missing a TCK/ @ripskater ticket

There were a few I was surprised didn't get in. I thought soda or Hans would get in and then either you and/or rip. There's definitely a gap in the range of candidates that I think palis ended up trying to fill. Not sure if it worked

Unfortunately, Soda burned himself out in the WikiLeaks threads.

 

[VivaRevolution]

Can we afford to have a Warroom president who is a Grand JDragon in the KKK?

He has not disavowed the endorsement of the Stormfront wing of the WR.

I also heard he shares private messages with Ruskie.

The thing is, consider the following.


A big problem in the political discourse today is that we're all living in filter bubbles: regarding the information we consume and regarding the political discussions that we have. Think about it. Facebook is only going to show you the news you want to see. People unfriend each other on Facebook over political issues, and even if you're not one of them, you still may end up in homogenous circles. Discussing politics with friends usually either is a bad idea or pointless if they have the same opinion anyway. Same with family: you likely have a wide range of political opinions there, but arguing politics with family can be a horrible idea. Arguing politics at parties? Bad idea.

But if there is no discussion, no direct interaction between the two (or many) opposing sides, how can there be actual political discourse? How can we understand each other? How can we learn where others may have a point and how can we sharpen our own arguments?

Enter the War Room. The War Room is a great place because we have pretty open discussion and a good mix of posters, even if it is with a clear tilt to the right-wing side. I think that's what people come back here for. We don't need the War Room to be a conservative circle jerk, a right-wing echo chamber - enough of those out there. We also don't need the War Room to be a SJW forum. We need it so that the arguments of all sides clash.

@Jack V Savage has promised to confine himself to his POTWR thread and only post there, essentially creating a safe space for conservatives. That's just ridiculous and the opposite of what the forum needs. People hate him, but they actually benefit from getting exposed to him even if they don't realize they do and disagree with him 100% of the time.

@Palis has promised exactly nothing he can keep except pics. Electing him would only be a political statement, a demonstration of the right wing in the War Room. That's what his campaign is trying to do: make this about US or world politics.

I am the only candidate who actually is invested in making the War Room a better place. I like it the way it is, but we need to get shitposting under control. I will make the War Room great again and I ask for your vote.

And that, ladies and gentlemen is an intelligent response, and what I enjoy about the War Room.

I haven't followed this at all. I've been tagged in some posts, am I supposed to vote or something?

A poll will be in round 3 and 4. I'll tag everyone when those begin. Otherwise, its just candidates pandering for your vote.

 

[Lead]

Please stop mentioning me, I really don't care.

Do you still want tagged when voting starts or removed from the registry?

 

[Jack V Savage]

Considering the amount of times your name was mentioned post-election night, I can't say I'm surprised.

I think I only saw Greoric's tag so anyone else who did it might have been a repeat offender. Might have forgotten another one.

 

[Lead]

Candidates, try to be more precise with tagging. I don't want people getting annoyed and asking to be removed. For the most part, it's been well placed.

Also to the candidates, standing applause for making Round 2 very entertaining. This was the round I was least sure about having. It's been a very good read so far.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Sure, but only for voting.

Is @sodapopinski a choice?

Robo-calls have been suspended for now, having served their purpose.

The @Palis/Dr J campaign has responded repeatedly to the lies that is the @JDragon smear campaign. We have laid out an actual plan in detail. @JDragon has promised a better War Room with no actual substance--only red hats. Even our pics are better.

However, he continues to single out our campaign. Our suspicions were that his baseless attacks stemmed solely from fear of our anti-cuck platform. Our campaign has fought vigilantly against cucks in the War Room, and @Palis has even reached out to world renowned alpha @Tyler Knight to bull rush this forum.

During our campaign discussions, our investigators have uncovered this photo:

Spoiler: WARNING: NSFW

While it remains unclear if the cuck in this photo is indeed @JDragon , his fear of our campaign is now apparent. If this isn't apart of his past, he's staring directly into his future.

Good citizens of the War Room, this is what the red hat of the JDragon campaign represents (@Blackened , deep down, we still believe you can do better).

Follow your conscience and Vote Palis/Dr J 2016 and help fight the good fight.

I would like to know the candidates positions on the recent @Da Left Cross situation that's been developing.

The photo is actually accurate, but that's @Amerikuracana's girlfriend. I was there for scientific purposes.
