@connerelislone@CentristMadness@hutchinson its crazy how both the dumbest and disingenuous things you've ever read happened in one singular thread as two distinct items.
i get the feeling you don't do much reading
Idk what is up with moderators at these debates that they can't just let one side get cooked for refusing to participate (answer the prompted question)
a dem can't put belt to ass for 30 seconds before the moderator jumps in to bothsides it
I want you to notice the dynamic that plays out when debating MAGA:
Michael Knowles can dodge and obfuscate around an incredibly simple question, but the moment @mehdirhasan firmly presses for a real answer, he is told to chill out as if HE were the one violating debate norms.
@gratwickfilms@hutchinson@Hyorinmaru32 brother he would back platner bc his integrity is getting as many blue asses in seats. how is that not consistent?
the question is about leftist response to a theoretical platner fumble anyway
Buttigieg: And my word of warning to my own political party is that we would make a terrible mistake if we thought that our job was to just take power somehow and then put everything back the way it was. That’s not what we’re here to do.
We’re not out to go around and just find all the little bits and pieces of everything that they smashed and tape it together and say, “Here you go, I give you the world as it looked in 2023.” That’s not going to work. It’s not what we need.
So much has changed, and the truth is they are destroying things right and left. They’re destroying a lot of good, important things. They’re destroying some useless things too, because they’re destroying everything. So now we get a chance to put things together on different terms.
GOP made mistake in Texas tonight
Very clear they're trying to suppress vote.
But by pulling stupid stunts like changing voting locations & not posting them, they gave Democrats advance warning there'll be dirty tricks in November.
Voters now KNOW to vote as early as possible.
Hegseth: "If you kill Americans, if you threaten Americans anywhere on earth, we will hunt you down without apology and without hesitation and we will kill you"
Man I remember when Dems forced out any reporter who asked them questions they didn't like
Or used the FCC like a bludgeon to force media companies into suppressing stories you dont like
Or sent masked, unidentified agents to murder innocents on the street
Or
This is not about platforming problematic people. Destiny is bigger than me, if anything id be the one getting platformed.
This is simply that there is nothing to discuss with a person that wants to kill me or would like to see me dead.
The only thing thats left is to make sure my side overpowers him and places him in a mental hospital where he gets all the care he needs and is not a danger to himself or others.
As for "getting a slam dunk".
This is not how the internet works.
There is no reality where either me or him would get "mindblown" by each others arguments.
The reality is Dev, that the statement Trump is a threat to free speech, is so retarded that I am 100% confident the overwhelming amount of people already agree with me.
There is nothing to debate here because there is no one to convince.
No sane person believes theres more censorship under trump then there was under the democrats during Covid.
And so, I believe theres already more than enough people who agree with me.
I am more than satisfied with the current situation to the point that I dont feel a need to defend my position since i dont think the attack is even worthwile defending against.
@BrianConnoli@GeauxGabrielle very stable and reasonable response.
you're a clown. You whine so loud but can't even NAME someone you would like to see in office.
Thanks for enabling fascism!
@BrianConnoli@GeauxGabrielle > impractical for denouncing anyone your evil ghoul party puts up
And yes, you are impractical for denouncing any Dem candidate purely on the basis that they're a Democrat. Unless you just want Republicans to keep winning and are indifferent to that outcome...
@BrianConnoli@GeauxGabrielle I see you still haven't named a candidate you would back.
Is there anyone that can make it through all of your purity tests? Who would you like to see in office?
It's a simple question.
Do your virtues translate into real candidates?
