Whom did the LetsRun.com visitors vote for in the 2020 US Presidential Election?

Immigration from CA into surrounding states will make Nevada. Arizona, and Texas liberal strongholds. When that happens, it’s game over!

The results shouldn't be taken at face value by those that voted, because it skews liberal. I'm sure some of the non-voters, non-citizens, and under 18s hold vocal conservative views that seem to get amplified on the message board.

This. I am very much a centrist but when the liberals and the left want to lockdown I’m going to the right.[/quote]

What do you think "lockdown" means? No democrats want to lock you down. This is not a fascist country where true lockdowns will occur.

Wearing a mask and not exhaling COVID into confined spaces, like restaurants, will do to the trick. If you really don't like the restrictions COVID imposes on your life, it is in your own self-interest to follow the precautions that "the liberals" favor.

For the record, this is not a question of liberals and conservatives. Scientists and health professionals are guiding the intelligent path forward; propagandists deny that any changes are needed. Don't be brainwashed by the propaganda.

Good morning. Biden won

What does that have with to do with my anti-covid extreme lockdown belief? Screw Biden no matter how many million votes he gets.

BIDEN WON. No one likes sore loser

Congrats on the rigged election I guess.

I’m still not wearing a mask. Cry about it. Plannedemic is a sham.

Lol does oops have a hard on for Biden or what. Put your mask on simp.

COVID is a farce. No matter who the President is.

It's always funny to think these people are the same that coined the term "snowflake" as an insult then turn around and complain that there aren't any "safe places" for them to voice their opinions without being discriminated against

You're conflating two very, very different things.

snowflake safe space = place where people can be safe from seeing or hearing anything they disagree with

conservative safe place = place where people can say what they believe is true without fear of being fired from their jobs, blacklisted, and unable to provide for their family

Two very, very different things. They're basically polar opposites. One is about being safe from hearing/seeing things you don't like, the other is about being able to speak the truth about what you believe without being severely punished for it.

A lot of smart people on this website. Unfortunately, most of the post come from the 22%.

The most shocking thing to me is that Rojo decided to release these results, which basically confirms what the whole site knows:

There is a clear right-wing bias regarding what posts are allowed.

Well, don't keep us in suspense -- what's the right word choice?

Big time and I'm tired of it. I can't stand by while people spew nonsense and bs articles that have no basis in reality. The right has been talking BIG for 4 years making us think the race is close and it is not. If there wasn't a 2 party system and we had to vote on the issues a Republican would never be elected to office. Biden was the last big name candidate the left wanted and he still won. I'm not going to stop posting about this I don't care how many posts get deleted.

Answer this Rojo. Why do you allow this to happen? Why do you protect the likes of Greg and ban people that offend him when he's posting garbage? I'm not a political person and I think a lot of people like me are ready to come out and fight misinformation because it's not a game anymore. You guys are ruining this nation.

I just saw a post on another thread where a user said they can't get behind a 60% tax. Biden is not going to tax you 60%. Their base is so stupid that they'll believe anything the right says. They have you here voting against your own interests while you protect money coming to Bezos. Fools all of you. Answer Rojo. Who did you vote for and why? Why do you further right leaning posts even though they're spreading misinformation? Why does the front page of the message boards feature like 10 covid is fake or overblown currently? Why are you sabotaging your own website?

Suprised the other was so high. Although I do see a pretty high Libertarian influence on the site. Suprised the Biden side was so high given the message boards seem evenly split. But probably makes sense as it seems like this is probably a group with a lot of college degrees which skew that way.

So how could some label this place as right wing? I think it shows that many people can't stand seeing anything they don't agree with. People live in siloed worlds so they don't hear the other side. Here we have an open discussion forum and it apparently triggers some on the left. I actually think some of that triggering is what causes the polls to be so far off. Some Trump voters are scared to admit it as they know these really vocal people on the left will shame them.

This has been a huge concern for me and Covid has made it worse. I think both left and right are equally poorly informed. I go to some of the left and rightest outlets and you get a wildly different picture of what is going on in the world. I've had discussions with friends about this but about half my friends on the left just don't get it and think the right is the only uninformed side while the left is highly knowledgeable. They're super concerned about Q'anon which I see about 90% of Republicans rejecting yet are supporting these alt leftist groups that have been rioting for the past 6 months.

The polls being so far off was totally predictable. People are afraid to tell their significant other they are voting for him in some cases. I've had numerous people tell me in confidence they're voting for him because they're so scared about the direction of the Democratic party but aren't telling their family members out of fear of being judged. The left has been demonizing Republicans for about a decade now. This did not happen 20 years ago or even in 08. I hoped when Trump was elected they'd learn that the demonizing was what led to him in the first place yet they doubled down. My hope is that enough reasonable people on the left are going to realize that it needs to stop and reject it because both sides are guilty and need to bring this thing back together. Unfortunately, some of the rhetoric coming out the past few days does not give me confidence.

Agreed. Rojo, who I think genuinely wants to be fair and seems to try to be thoughtful (i.e., I don't question his sincerity), is incredibly blind to his own biases and desperately clings to believing what he wants to believe. It's human (we all do it to some degree), but the right wing in this country seems to have taken it to new heights. Rojo, it has been discussed ad nauseam over the years, but (a) the # of threads that are right wing are vastly disproportionate to the # of more liberal ones and, it turns out, to the audience of this site; and (b) more troubling, the moderating on this site is wildly uneven and seems to be dominated by right wingers. As a recent reminder for me, I responded to some idiot right wing post on the Sara Hall thread about how the left wing hates her (which is false) and my response got deleted, but an inflammatory and obnoxious right wing-type response to my response was left up. I reported the latter out of irritation, and not surprisingly nothing came of it. You guys pretend to be interested in facts: it wouldn't be hard for you to take a sample of the # of threads to confirm what I'm saying (and has been said so, so many times). Check the political bent, and then check the # of posts that are deleted and see what you find. Better yet, do it honestly and report the figures. You guys give lip service to being unbiased and talk often of how much moderating work goes on behind the scenes and how difficult it is, and frankly it's hard to believe. Go look at the data and let us know. By the way, I agree with the earlier poster who suspects that there is professional right-wing thread generation, or maybe it's just some angry kids in their basements, but it's breathtaking how many right wing threads there are here.

This. I would never have guessed that so many people were anti-Trump on this site considering the number of posts in his favor. That shows a moderator bias.

Whom Did LetsRunners Vote For?

Biden 71.13%

Trump 21.90%

Other 6.97%

You are saying there are more conservative threads than liberal threads. That may be true. Similarly, there is way more conservative talk radio than liberal. I guess conservatives are more opinionated.

What do you want me to do about it? This is a forum for free expression. No one is forcing you to read the threds.

That's a good idea. I'd like to see the results myself..

This is not true. Look at talk radio. They tried to do it for liberals. It was a massive failure. Why? I don't know. I guess people on the left aren't as opinionated.
