This is what I responded to. Why didn't you quote that? Yes.

I'd advise you to go back and read what you said about @"neonspectraltoast" and the arguments you used to support that. Maybe I should have just descr...

So you've cited Chomsky. And? Far as I know, Chomsky made a pragmatic argument which I've not criticized (though I may disagree with it). It's the att...

It's not improbable because politicians abuse their power all the time. And in this particular case, Reade reported the exact same story at the time t...

@"Xtrix" It's not an ad hom, you are literally saying extremely stupid things. For example, by your logic, abstaining from voting means voting for Tru...
May 14, 2020 at 02:45
No it doesn't. It's not only very probable, it happens all the time. E.g. Trump, Clinton. What planet do you live on?

There's an OECD report out (I'll have to try to dig it up) that predicts on current trends (under Dem and Republican leadership) America is going to l...

It's pathological as you said. The attempt to shame someone else for refusing to do what they themselves are doing. Anyway, also from the article and ...
May 14, 2020 at 02:25
No, that would be you. You've just said you believe Reade. Jesus, this is like me telling someone if they don't punch someone in the face just like I'...

Speaking of what the system generates and how that's currently being accelerated. "Coronavirus — or more accurately — the lack of response to it will ...

Politely telling the Dem vote shamers where to go while explaining to them why they're wrong. https://youtu.be/vfhH0VETyac

You can imagine a twisted backroom plan where the Dems and the GOP got together and agreed to both put up rapists for president as a sick demonstratio...

If that was Biden, I might be worried. :lol:

No thanks.

Obamagate. :lol:

First time for everything.
May 11, 2020 at 15:16
Ok, at least you've articulated a position that isn't just a bunch of ad homs. I'll get back to you more on it later, especially seeing as the point a...

May 11, 2020 at 14:05
I imagine what's stressful is not knowing the absolute fundamentals of politics and economics, such as what neoliberalism is, while at the same time t...
May 11, 2020 at 13:57
It's like with Obama, he superficially seems like a nice guy and the presumption is that that can't easily be faked. That's a cognitive speed bump tha...

I see the immediate issue and I understand your position, but the existential threat in my view is the two-party system itself not one or other party....

Damn right you can, bro'.

Good for you, dude. :strong:

Most of the stimulus money and Fed support went to corporations who used it to help boost their own stock. (I read (or heard) somewhere that 90% of th...

If it's true, I don't begrudge her any benefits she may get from it. If it's not, then considering she told the same story thirty years ago to several...
May 11, 2020 at 00:14
This seems obvious to me but it's just not sinking in.
May 10, 2020 at 23:52
There was probably more controversy in the MSM in 1988 over Biden being accused of plagiarism than there is now of him being accused of sexual assault...

Maybe she was intimidated by those out there who would try to tear her down, or by Biden and the DNC themselves, and the implications for her ever hav...

May 10, 2020 at 23:27
As for your friend Frank, @"Xtrix": Any comment on that hypothetical? Do you see anything potentially wrong with making a credibly accused pedophile, ...
May 10, 2020 at 23:12
Strawman. I've made it clear Biden is an: with the accusation being credible and gaining credibility recently. Which is exactly the situation. The res...
May 10, 2020 at 23:08
Just to add to that, nationally, Biden is currently losing with men and ahead with women by 20 points. If he doesn't maintain a significant lead with ...
May 10, 2020 at 22:05
:ok:
May 10, 2020 at 22:01
My position is that the Dems should make a calculation based on whether the accusation is likely true or not and act on that. Because if it is, it's n...
May 10, 2020 at 21:59
By the way @"frank", on the accusation that we're just bored because we object to powerful politicians raping and sexually assaulting women, go bleep ...

The "it's just a gotcha" thing is so absurd it didn't even make the bingo.
May 10, 2020 at 21:32
The idea that this is a "gotcha" is incredibly stupid and crass. A woman says she was raped here. And then you talk about the poignancy of a feminist ...
May 10, 2020 at 21:30
Oh, there was "the Democrats won't budge" too. Well, they definitely won't if everyone just rolls over. I'm not convinced that's the end of it, especi...
May 10, 2020 at 19:20
I asked for a viewpoint from posters here. I can't exactly carry on a debate with her, can I? Or do you just want me to dig up quotes from those who d...
May 10, 2020 at 19:18
If all you've got is ad homs and a quote from one random feminist who supports Biden, you've got nothing. When you can formulate an argument of your o...
May 10, 2020 at 19:06
Maybe a sensible Biden supporter can address this. How much are you willing to tear down for Biden? And why? Why can't you get away from the guy? The ...

The ad is spot on. The Dems are horribly exposed here. Seek help.
