I think it would be fascinating to recreate and browse through pages of posts from around the end of the first full year of this forum to recreate the experience of a new poster just looking around the neighborhood and sampling this product. I believe the first post composed and posted in this entire forum that I can find and actually read explains the 'credits and reputations' systems' from http://www.politicalforum.com/index...out-credits-and-the-reputation-system.146908/ by a member who joined in 2008? Is that post which I linked as far back as we can go and read?
People can easily see what liberal thoughts were in 2008 by reading this forum today. That's about as current as they get.
Oh I disagree! "Liberals" have radically changed since 2008. Back then their main concern was putting Bush on trial for war crimes and free healthcare. Now, they kind of like Bush and don't think much about healthcare, except for gender-affirming care. For the left today, their biggest worries are misgendering, making sure every toddler's right to get a lap dance by a drag queen is upheld, and of course, the female penis. Liberalism has come a long way.
