IOW, even here you're getting a subset that feeds your confirmation bias. Here's a tip - Read multiple actual news sites and form your own opinions, and don't worry about what others say online. And avoid gaming chat rooms. 13 hours ago, TimHauck said: I’m not sure how people that read but don’t post are relevant to this discussion…clearly I’m only referring to actual posts. Hopefully the people saying that no one actually cares about this thought that a significant number of libs cared about the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad though… Strike, I gotta give you credit, in the Sweeney thread I see you did actually say it was a “small minority of people b*tching,” so thank you for actually being consistent here.
