It depends entirely on who shows up first, because top posts tend to dominate a thread regardless of their quality. I've seen plenty of 'liberal' topics get burned to the ground here because the other side is triggered or wants to brigade or do damage control for someone.

>Want 5,000 points? Just bash Trump in world news.

I bash Trump all the time - and i just get downvoted and flagged. I've seen plenty of what you would probably consider 'lies from the left' treated the same way. It's all relative.

For what it’s worth I think you’ve been completely reasonable and engaged in productive discussion.
