Given a) the level of anti-Trump sentiment around here; and b) the simultaneous impulse toward civic engagement (i.e., the general sense that people should vote), I must confess I'm a little surprised by y'all's nearly-universal "everyone gets an opinion" take. Isn't the combination of entitlement to an opinion and civi engagement what got us into this problem?

No, it's the failure of many not exercising that right.

For someone with such consistently bad takes, you're shockingly confident the majority agrees with you.

Ignoring your trolling, my comment is my own opinion. I'm unsure how you would get "shockingly confident the majority agrees with you" out of that.

Reasoning.

Ah, no wonder you got it 100% wrong.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion on anything they want to have an opinion on, Mr. Thought Police.
That doesn't mean everyone is entitled to a VOTE on every issue, but we all have opinions, including Mr. Thought Police.

I like Yang, he's a smart fellow and I would be glad to have him as POTUS.

Why?

Having freedom of thought is an intrinsic part of being human. Most opinions probably aren't worth a damn, but that doesn't mean we should control what people think. Not that we could, anyways.
I'm shocked a University professor would be so eager to censor the very thoughts of those with whom he disagrees.

Who is censoring? I'm in no position to censor anyone but myself. And I do.

This is why I earlier said that I find cincy (and perhaps you) more arrogant than me: you grant yourself the right to have an opinion on literally everything. I would never claim that for myself.

you literally have said several times over many threads "you aren't entitled to an opinion on this". not sure how it can be a more clear example of censoring.

gambs is a self-professed arrogant. and i think i can speak for many that we still love him to bits.

Shit, man, I didn't realize when I said that that I deleted your comments. I'll wield my power more responsibly from here on out.

Alternate response: you don't know what the word "censor" means.

It might just be the latter.

i know perfectly well what it means, but thanks for yet another unoriginal thought.

Zing, you really got me there.

Here's another unoriginal thought, you don't know what true censorship means, it's either by ignorance or stubbornness. I really don't care but it is amusing.

Nobody was censored.

On topic, I liked Yang. But am glad to see him throw in the towel now, it was the right time. A candidate with ideas ahead of his time.

You're more of a projection sort of guy. Like trump. Project what you know about yourself on to others.

Only because thoughts CAN'T be censored yet...the desire to do so has certainly been expressed.

Finally after Andrew Yang drops out, I open this thread to see what people thought of him. Turns out this thread's not about him.

I'll miss him. His non-combative approach was a breath of fresh air (though the "MATH" hat would have been treated as combative). Even if he's never going to be president, I hope to see him around...

It's a shame it got side-tracked. But it's AMT, I guess I should have expected it.

Yeah. I'm sorry to see Yang go. I hope he will continue to be an influence. I sure like his energy and ideas!

exactly.

jesus the pathetic interest in "gotchas" around here sure seems to be more important than listening to another's point of view.

I KNOW NO ONE WAS LITERALLY CENSORED.

I'm not interested in "zings". pointing out an annoying pattern of yours. I'm not interested in your constant "I'm going to agree with THIS guy and pile on the guy he disagrees with instead of adding to the discussion in any meaningful way".

I agree with this guy so I'm piling on without adding to the discussion in anyway...ironic isn't it? Did I use ironic properly? My generation was hosed by Alanis and we are never really sure.

Here's another unoriginal thought, you don't know what true censorship means, it's either by ignorance or stubbornness. I really don't care but it is amusing.

Nobody was censored.

On topic, I liked Yang. But am glad to see him throw in the towel now, it was the right time. A candidate with ideas ahead of his time.

I'm not interested in "zings". pointing out an annoying pattern of yours. I'm not interested in your constant "I'm going to agree with THIS guy and pile on the guy he disagrees with instead of adding to the discussion in any meaningful way".

I agree with this guy so I'm piling on without adding to the discussion in anyway...ironic isn't it? Did I use ironic properly? My generation was hosed by Alanis and we are never really sure.

haha, that alanis thing has always been so funny to me. people dissecting a lyric to a song and making a big deal out of it.

Tell me about the Alanis thing- I don't know that one.

the song Ironic. every scenario in that song isn't actually ironic, they are more just shitty things that happened to be people (a man afraid to fly, then his plane goes down). she got skewered for butchering the definition of the word, (a few) people even claiming it was going to have a lasting "dumbing down" effect on people listening to it.

Is Alanis ironic actually ironic?

Alanis Morissette's song “Ironic” is equally useful. If it rains on your wedding day, that's a coincidence, not an irony. If you win the lottery and drop dead before claiming the money, it's good luck followed by bad luck. If you meet the man of your dreams and then meet his beautiful wife, it's a bummer.Jun 30, 2008

Everyone is entitled to an opinion on anything they want to have an opinion on, Mr. Thought Police.
That doesn't mean everyone is entitled to a VOTE on every issue, but we all have opinions, including Mr. Thought Police.

I like Yang, he's a smart fellow and I would be glad to have him as POTUS.

Why?

Having freedom of thought is an intrinsic part of being human. Most opinions probably aren't worth a damn, but that doesn't mean we should control what people think. Not that we could, anyways.
I'm shocked a University professor would be so eager to censor the very thoughts of those with whom he disagrees.

Who is censoring? I'm in no position to censor anyone but myself. And I do.

This is why I earlier said that I find cincy (and perhaps you) more arrogant than me: you grant yourself the right to have an opinion on literally everything. I would never claim that for myself.

you literally have said several times over many threads "you aren't entitled to an opinion on this". not sure how it can be a more clear example of censoring.

gambs is a self-professed arrogant. and i think i can speak for many that we still love him to bits.

Shit, man, I didn't realize when I said that that I deleted your comments. I'll wield my power more responsibly from here on out.

Alternate response: you don't know what the word "censor" means.

It might just be the latter.

i know perfectly well what it means, but thanks for yet another unoriginal thought.

Zing, you really got me there.

I don't think you know what irony means either.

Two things I agreed with Yang on, circumcision and UBI.

Thank you! Interesting.

So is getting on AMT to catch up on current events an example of irony?
