Couldn't agree more. People are either too dumb to understand or just tdon't want to acknowledge it. Our feedom is definitely in peril and that's not hyperbole. The radical left has taken over the Deomcratic party and Biden is purely a puppet. They plan on Kamal Harris taking over within the next year or two.
If you voted for Biden, you just voted for Socialism. Go ahead and read the Democratic platform they listed for the election. They don't even try to hide it anymore. Very sad!
and to boot we just elected a President who is beholden/compromised to the Chinese. We just elected an illegitimate President! Just great! Can we survivie the next 4 years???

Can we please get this thread moved to Off Topic. We're about three weeks away from the start of the season, clearly there is plenty of basketball to talk about.

I have stayed away from this board deliberately for the last 6 months because of threads like this one. A guy who had 2 prior posts creates a poll on if people voted. He is just baiting the over to top reactions. Guess what the usual suspects came out and took the bait. The fun in this forum has been completely removed as the decorum has eroded. I loved coming here daily, writing pregame summaries, and post game analysis. I really enjoyed when myself and everyone else was talking out of their ass discussing basketball and minutes and time out decisions. I enjoyed the discussions about enrollment and new majors, and even the hot dog to bun ratio talk all offseason. But alas, there is no joy in logging in here anymore because there is equal chance of an off the rails political thread as there is substantive or even trivial Bona related discussion. All of us are here because we have close ties to the University maybe it is time we all take a step back. Re-examine the core values of the school. And reassess if we are abiding by those principles in our own lives. I'll be signing out for another long stretch. Who knows maybe I'll be back when the A10 bubble kicks off but based off what I have seen today, that is not likely.

LISTEN TO NOW AND HEAR ME LATER GIRLY BOYS... WE'VE BEEN ROBBED OF OUR LIBERTY AND FREEDOM OF OUR PRESS. My avatar speaks for itself. Edited to add: I was going to change it since I came to think it was too political, but it will stay for a while to reflect my feelings about dragging these conversations to a Bonnies discussion forum.

Don’t let facts get in the way of your political fearmongering on a *checks notes* college basketball message board. Also, state colleges and universities were basically free when you old timers came to campus too. Cant you guys just regal us with stories of the local kid who would have been the player of the year if he didn’t get injured as a member of the freshman team or whatever used to happen here? Also, remember when people were worried that recruits would read this board and be turned off by criticism of players??😂 simpler times ...

Now talk about embarrassing yourself! I was heading out and tried to post quickly and didn't proof read it. I don't have to apologize for that. On the other hand, the fact that you don't know or understand what hyperbole means should be quite embarrasing to you. Yes, PLEASE look up the definition of hyperbole. Did you actually go to Bona? I certainly hope not for the school's sake. Maybe you were drinking???

So regardless of political affiliation, has anyone ever voted for president and then left all local/state races blank? I know I sure haven’t.

I saw something today where someone did an analysis of that for this election. I don't remember the numbers exactly, and they only showed 5 states, but it added up to something approaching 100k people this time.

As a friend from Cuba said, people don’t know until it happens and then younger people don’t fight because they do not know anything about freedom. These issues and your freedoms disappear slowly,and are implemented under plans that seem popular or are good for you, but this election will be a return to the downslope. It isn’t about republicans or democrats it’s about people versus government. Once government wins like this, it is unlikely the people will win again. We may have hit the slope and most people don’t see it because they have been programmed not to.

Two elections in a row in which the donald did not win the popular vote. People spoke in 2016 and they again in 2020.
The World is a better place without old 45.

This actually has happened 6 times in the past. And another 14 times when the plurality was not won. We are 50 States that are United. That is why we have an electoral college, and not a populist vote.

We may have hit the slope and most people don’t see it because they have been programmed not to. Great comparison - a country that never had a stable government, nor a particularly vibrant, diverse economy. Freedoms aren't disappearing, you guys are just mad you can't go around saying "cottin pickin'" anymore. The best part is, your understanding of freedom is so fundamentally flawed that that's the first thing you point to when you claim your "freedom" is being taken away. THEN your second move is to point to PRIVATE PLATFORMS and claim that they are violating your free speech rights, despite the fact that your free speech rights aren't guaranteed to be protected ON PRIVATE PLATFORMS THAT YOU AREN'T FORCED TO GO ON. The marketplace of ideas is apparently pretty barren these days - why don't you all go start a new private platform for free speech? Maybe something like Parler hahahaha you dumbasses ahahahah Biden 2024!

It is interesting that there is so much hate out there right now. Yes, I voted for Trump. No, I have never said "cotton picking". I would recommend that all you who did vote for Biden read up on the 25th amendment. Nancy Pelosi floated it out there a few weeks ago to get a feel for the country's reaction (she did not put it out for Trump, she put the idea out there as a test). We as a country will probably be dealing with it within the next 18 months.
