I find the contrast between the Liberal and Conservative website comments policies interesting.

Any thoughts as to why they have different policies?

I've never realized that this was a trend, but you're right...there really does seem to be a trend.

I don't visit either camp's websites. I am aware however, that comment sections (for online news articles, etc) often attract dissenting opinions. With the vileness often associated with these comments, perhaps it's no surprise the Liberal websites had to shut down their comments section?

I'm not an expert, but I don't think news article comments sections are bastions of rationality and logical discourse.

I first noticed it about five years ago when PBS turned off the COMMENTS section on their website.
It wasn't too long until other Liberal outlets followed suit.

If they wanted your opinion, they would tell you what it is !

' Yeah ! They sure don't like American's opinions '
' Yeah well, Kamala can eff off and die, somewhere offshore, in a communist island paradise,
given a big parade that everyone had to attend. '
' Eff Kamala ! '
' Yeah ! Ditch the Witch in '24 ! '

Some of the worst sites I've ever been on, have been ones that are left-leaning. Rayb introduced me to one of the message forums that he frequents... I think it was called Anarchy Sailing. I PM'ed Ray about it several times, and he told me to check it out. So I did... and within a week, I'd been doxed, and people were threatening to kill my family. Haha... I don't even know what I had said that got them so upset, but I think I was trying to disprove Trump being a Russian asset. The moderator eventually deleted all my posts at my request, and locked the threads where I had been doxxed, and deleted that content.

But the hardest message board to get on, is Democratic Underground. They are extremely... I mean EXTREMELY cautious about anyone being on there. I didn't know that you HAD to be a Democrat, I just assumed it was a good politics message board. After the first post, I got banned... and I think I mentioned something about having voted for Bill Clinton, but the Democrat party changed too much.

This is ironically, the only message board that I currently discuss politics. I have two friend circles where we e-mail each other throughout the day... and most of them are very left-leaning. We get a little heated at times, but we've been friends for over 20 years... so no one takes any of it personally. Even on X/Twitter, I don't do any politics at all... my entire feed is Dungeons & Dragons, video games, and for some reason I follow a group of Trans Furries that are all into working on cars. One of them is called "Pontiacs are for the Queers" and I follow him, and then as a direct result, all the other trans / furry people who also like and work on cars started popping up on my feed. Haha...

Why would only left leaning sites restrict comments on their published words?

I read both left and right leaning publications, and the comments when available, and the vitriol of the left leaning comments on the right leaning sites is shocking.

This is a fact. If one were to make an honest assessment, the left is just meaner.

LOL
honest is not a Gop thing

the rightwing lying got to much

no real expert thinks the trump ever won the most votes in 2016 or 2020
in 16 he gimmicked the state vote
in 20 he did not
both times he lost the raw counts of the peoples votes

current polls say 5+ points behind as a rump should be

Fortunately for America, we don't use the popular vote on a national level to determine the outcome of the Presidential election.

The Founders were smart to put the Electoral College in the Constitution.

Now we need to repeal the 17th Amendment and go back to the State Legislatures appointing the Senators from their respective states.

too bad they scrubbed the posts

I could send you to a site that has real 1%ers, not your stratified class system.
But you would never get in. You have to prove your eligibility.
They have a few Leftists there, but everybody knows how to act.
