    Why expect anything else from op?

    Because they have spent months and months telling us who not to vote for without giving us any alternatives.

    It may possibly be that you don’t know the whole story here.

      Again, the best way to confront that is by confronting the claim. Not by just insinuating that they’ve failed some kind of loyalty test.

      In their argument they made valid points which shouldn’t just be brushed aside or excused without reason. It just makes it seem as if you are ignoring the criticism to the same extent that conservatives do for trump.

      There’s been an alarming popularization of conflating valid and invalid criticism against politicians. Instead of Democrats rejecting the demagoguery the GOP utilizes to lead their constituents the DNC has been adopting their tactics. Which is ultimately a goal of fascist movements everywhere.

      may possibly be that you don’t know the whole story here.

      And how many people who see your argument are going to “know the whole story”? They’re just going to see that criticism can be ignored if you utilize the right logical fallacy.

        That’s what I did.

        Not by just insinuating that they’ve failed some kind of loyalty test.

        That is not what I did.

        And how many people who see your argument are going to “know the whole story”?

        I don’t really care.

          That’s what I did.

          In your own words you said you didn’t offer a rebuttal…

          That is not what I did.

          Lol, then what was the point of the question? Can you really not be honest for like a second?

          don’t really care.

          Ahh, so just virtue signalling and stroking your ego. Cool.

          Good luck “canvassing” with your memes…

            And now you are both lying and insulting, so I think I won’t reply to the rest of your post.

              I hope you don’t gaslight the people in your life as much as you attempt to do to people on the internet. Otherwise you’re going to be a lonely and old before you know it.

              But let’s not pretend that you have attempted to be anything resembling honest during this engagement.

                  Lol, my dude. Your whole argument was to perpetuate a strawman argument. Then to be dishonest about the motivation of your strawman argument, and then to accuse me of lying for pointing it out.

                  You don’t remember the whole, I’m not making a rebuttal, I’m asking a question? And then later claiming that you confronted their claim…which would have been a rebuttal.

                  This whole time you’ve done nothing but been academically dishonest, and then you have the audacity to accuse me of lying… Pretty gaslightly to me fam. I mean you still haven’t answered the question you demand from others, and haven’t explained how that question is relevant.

                    and then to accuse me of lying for pointing it out.

                    That is another lie. I quoted the thing you initially lied about. I will quote it again:

                    Ahh, so just virtue signalling and stroking your ego. Cool.

                    So that’s two lies.

                    I’m not going to address the rest of your post.
