I tried to get into the "debate" on Dovenet but I can't find a Mystic BBS that
carries it, and I'm not nsync with Synchronet.

I carry it, but I run Synchronet. I think my GT Power BBS also carries it.
If not, it can be added easy enough.

If you were still running a BBS or point of your own, I could offer you an
FTN feed of Dovenet. I am already doing that for a couple of other systems/points.

That said, I doubt you will find many people hanging around there that
don't hang around here *and* who lean left.

There are several other FIDO political echoes. Did everyone disappear from those as well?

I'll give it a try sometime from your BBS. I know there's at least 1 leftie on Dovenot.

I appreciate it. I don't think I'll put up a BBS again though. (Maybe I can convince Joe to get on the Dovenet train sometime!)

It's productive for us to discuss the ways to combat the left, how to
help tear down their institutions, and how to combat rinoism.

We don't need to do much on that. They seem to be doing fine on their own. Especially that we have non-censored news outlets.

I usually just laugh at them and move on.

It's only when I'm feeling vindictive that I respond, showing how delusional they are. But everyone else usually already knows.

The stuff people say on Fox News cracks me up sometimes. But I don't engage because the elitists get mad if I accidentally use keywords like "hate" or "rino."

Oh, ya. I'm banned from doing any reviews on Amazon because I, truthfully, described 2 books on BBSs as "woke nonesense". Yes, it was those words because they were the strongest in my review.

I will do my best, but I don't expect to have much enthusiasm for any political candidates any time soon.

I feel you pain. Sometimes when I'm in the voting booth, I feel like I have to choose between Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum.

We need a new venue for talking about political stuff. All the lefties have vanished from Fidonet. (Did we fix them?) Now we're all just a bunch of non-Democrat guys with nothing much to argue about.

I used to enjoy commenting in news website comments like Fox News, NY Post, and Revolver, but those systems suck, it's difficult to navigate to your replies,
and the moderators don't want anyone saying anything from outside the box.

BBSing is declining in popularity worse than ever. It's not just Fidonet. Where do I go to fight with lefties? :)

Mike Miller is still here. And since I started ignoring the other ones, the only thing that I see are fewer message headers. So I'm not missing them.

No. They all left because they lost and can't spin it in any other way.

Now we're all just a
bunch of non-Democrat guys with nothing much to argue about.

Now, that is a problem. We do need someone with counter viewpoints who can actually discuss. I got tired of the parrots pushing the same debunked talking points over and over again. That's why I stopped reading their messages.

And I was in another debate area where some people were **still** saying that Jan. 6 was an "insurrection".

Ya, not much in the way of discussion stuff on other venues. Although OANN's article discussions can get interesting - sometimes.

I've learned a lot of stuff from you and Mike. I like our network of non-communists.
