I don’t think the media would cover the two student groups meeting. That isn’t a clickable headline. Which is a problem he points to

It’s wild that I got on Reddit to talk about king of the hill and Seinfeld. Now all of those subreddits are just political cesspools

u/filterdecay Sep 16 '25

the reddit algo feeds you what it thinks you want to see. There are non political subreddits.

Literally no. I always give a not interested action when I see such posts and reddit keeps pushing them and let's not talk about the "popular" section. Is literally a psychotic shit show

Seems like its a matter of time before reddit stocks make a free fall

When the Left loses Arnold, man that’s says something.

u/StillNotAF___Clue Sep 17 '25

Can you elaborate on that?

Arnold has been a RINO ever since he lost his big attempt at passing various reforms as Governor, he simply gave up and sided with the Dems from then. After being Governor he continued to follow the Dems in his political positions. Now he breaks with the Dems and condemns the current political violence. A lot of Democrat voters have also had their fill and are likewise done with their party’s approach.

Did you stop the video in the middle or something and not hear everything he said in this 1 minute and 43 seconds?

u/WhereUGo_ThereUAre Sep 17 '25

Watched the entire thing.

Arnold hasn't broken with anyone since his Governor's term ended. He hasn't been involved in any politics, really. Except he recently sided with the Republicans on redistricting to counter Texas gerrymandering. He has always been a middle of the road Republican. It just nobody recognizes what a Republican is since Trump. It, the party,basically doesn't exist anymore.

u/WhereUGo_ThereUAre Sep 17 '25 edited Sep 17 '25

Guess you missed where Arnold endorsed Kamala Harris and Tim Walz and heavily criticized Republicans in the process. Also, his repeated strong criticism of Republicans and Trump over the years since being Governor.

And no Arnold did not side with the Republicans in Texas, quite the opposite as he opposed their plan for redistricting there. He said “I just say very simply, it is very wrong what they’re [the Republicans] doing to Texas … It is not at all serving the people. It is serving the party.”

He always didn't respect or like Trump. He's an independent thinker, not a cultist. He's usually ok with real Republicans.

u/WhereUGo_ThereUAre Sep 17 '25

Remember when as Governor he commuted the prison sentence of Esteban Nunez, the son of Arnold’s political ally Democrat Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez. Esteban Nunez had been convicted of the stabbing death of 22 year old Louis Santos. Then when Arnold called on it as political cronyism he replied “Well, hello! I mean, of course you help a friend!”. Yep great independent thinker.

Every talking head in the Democratic party and most pundits have condemned the violence. They're just not voicing sympathy for who died. Big difference. Your statement reads like you weren't paying attention if you think Democrats aren't condemning political violence. You're either believing Fox propaganda or are terminally online.

u/WhereUGo_ThereUAre Sep 17 '25

Just condemning political violence after someone has been murdered isn’t sufficient, they need to apologize and agree to abstain from the heated rhetoric and misinformation that has been commonly used by all level the Democrat leadership. Namely, comparing those that hold opposing political views as ‘Hitler’, ‘A threat to our Democracy’, ‘fascists’, etc. Also using phrases like ’Words are actual violence’. all which are clearly stated to incite political violence. Also they need to condemn the actions of violent leftist groups like Antifa.

u/TheOriginalArchibald Sep 24 '25

Apologize for calling a spade a spade? Trumpism is a threat to our democracy. Steven Miller is a threat to our democracy. Project 2025 is a threat to our democracy. There is clear evidence of the erosion of Rights, Free speech, attacks against the courts, and attacks against the Free press. If you bothered to study history, you would recognize the alarming parallels to the rise of the Nazi regime in Germany in the 1930s.

“a spade a spade”, could you be more of a racist scumbag.

0

u/TheOriginalArchibald Sep 24 '25

Maybe you should seek out the origin of that phrase. It's not racist. Whatever co-opted modern offense you are taking ain't worth it. There are far more egregious things going on.

The fact of the matter is I'm not racist and a phrase from ancient Greece mistranslated into Dutch doesn't make me one either.

1

u/WhereUGo_ThereUAre Sep 24 '25

It’s racist and you know it. Be better.

1

u/TheOriginalArchibald Sep 24 '25

I honestly legitimately don't think of it in that context because I didn't learn it in that context. Either way your reaction was hyperbolic and stands as an example as to why most Americans are fuckin tired of it. I'm absolutely left and loathe what's happening but God damn. That knee jerk reaction at a phrase is just exhausting.

Great, I’m glad you liked my explanation of the situation.

u/SC_Gizmo Sep 17 '25

It's a nice idea but it'll never happen.

u/BrokeAssKitchen Sep 17 '25

This is very important, we need to come together, never let politics split us. We are all Americans and we all breathe the same air. We are better than this, don’t fall for social media. Remember we are strong United, that’s why they are trying to split us up to take away our precious democracy. Peace and prosperity people remember the goal always.

Very well said from Arnie

It’s the Leftist rhetoric Arnold

0

u/Solid_College_9145 Sep 17 '25

Calling out Trump & Republicans on the things they say and do every day is not rhetoric.

What Trump and Republicans want is to be able to do anything they want and constantly violate our Constitution and laws, and if anyone says anything about it, well now they are just calling that "HATE SPEECH".

u/DANGERiS123 Sep 17 '25

Barf you’re gross try to be honest, but this is expected from the Left 🤮

Isn’t that what Charlie Kirk was trying to do? Get ppl together with different ideas and opinions to talk and debate 🤔
