Where would you say you are on the political spectrum?

Actually, I changed my mind. I'm no longer interested, you'll fit in nicely on this site, let's end things here with this.

Post #49 was me calling out how people would obviously go on about how "Trump is ultra dangerous, so therefore we must vote Democrat no matter who!". This idiotic mindset pushed by people on this site who don't want to try to change things gets evil people, sometimes who are STILL dangerous and should NOT have access to nukes, elected because they're "not Hitler".

Not at all. I think Trump (not republicans as a whole) is the greatest threat to our democracy. I didn't feel this way regarding bush and I don't think John Mccain would have done any serious damage either. I even provided my reasons why. You never stated why those reasons aren't cause for concern and I even mentioned how those reasons will get even indepedent voters to vote democrat against republican. This isn't "politicians" getting in my head.

Your opinions deviate from the majority of people here on a few things.

And those reasons are cause for concern, but my issue is then going "so we MUST vote Democrat no matter who!". The focus is only the news regarding on why on Repubs are bad, how stupid they are, etc while intentionally not signal boosting stories regarding Democrats that make them look bad, because "two party system", "wait until after the election" (BRUH what if the Democrat candidate is potentially a actual criminal???? Who fucking cares if it's Hitler, would America still give up, elect a serial killer into office unironically because of their party and "how the person is literally worse" and then DARE to all look at me and say "this is the smart thing to do :)" or electing someone who committed several crimes is still an absolute embarrassment to our political system)

People who would unironically elect someone who is still awful because "they're not Hitler" do not deserve the right to vote, partly for their own safety. With THESE people gone, politics is a better, smarter place.

You did use it in place of my argument-

Mmkay, well, you're wrong, I've repeated this 4 times now and I'm sick of typing this out. You don't know what a strawman is, I dealt with the crux already.

And your first counterargument was just "But we CANT DO ANYTHING". Sure, it was polite, which is why I wasn't super rude... but it was the same defeatist, unchanging mindset I expected.

Learn to debate and learn not to use logical fallacies if you want to be taken seriously or at the very least don't throw a fit if you have nothing else to say.

Yeah, yeah, you're "cooly and calmly being a badass" while I'm "throwing a temper tantrum and saying nothing at all". You're clearly "delulu" at this point.

No, the only one who doesn't know anything is you. I don't believe you anymore when you claim to be this expert who has done change, you're sounding more and more like some Internet random pretending to be this super badass online when you absolutely do not reason like someone in these positions, and post #65 is just repeating what people say about how Trump is literally the end of everything, so therefore we must vote Democrat no matter who.

You've said nothing "informative", just repeated what others say, if anything you actually repeat the EXACT arguments everyone says against me for why they don't want to try. THAT is why you were told to go back and reread my post. It applies to you, you're not that special in the end.

I dare you to go back to my first post and show me where I deserved your hostile response. For someone complaining about people trolling and baiting you seem to have literally no sense of self awareness.

Because you're continuing with defeatist mindsets that this site loooooves, and my first reply to you was not hostile. But now... I'm honestly tired of keeping the gloves on, since I'm somehow "insulting" you in previous replies and being this completely mean and totally rude to you and making no sense at all, while you're coolly and calmly "fighting back" and "making all of these smart points", it's so obvious what you're seeing this as.

Just admit you don't like it that your actually very common reply wasn't as "thought-provoking" as you thought it was.

I'll answer this politely despite my frustration. Here's why..

Note by eventually I don't mean anytime in the near future. Right now you have republicans who want to go back to the old guard. Trump brought the maga's out of the wood work. People who want extreme nationalism. Biden has much of the younger voters completely angry with him over the israel fiasco. People who want a more left winged style government. It's coming to a head so much that people are speculating regarding civil war (something I doubt will happen.) States refusing to abide by federal laws. Complete disorder in congress with frequent threats to shut down.

You mean you're actually explaining yourself finally, sure.

Anyways, a bunch of this has already happened before. Stuff like 9/11 happened and plenty of other conflicts and "major" events... nothing changed. It's pretty obvious something actually game changing and not just "current events" needs to happen.

The specific (two party or bust) mindset existed and change still occurred. So I will have to disagree with you there.

>complains about fallacies, again
>uses fallacies, again

Right, we're done here, you're ultimately no different. Bye bye!
