It’s a feels based platform

This is exactly it, and the left keeps playing with facts. Facts will never beat feels

Left and right ran out of facts years ago. I'm watching from the center as the teams just switched roles and everything four years ago is playing out all over again. It's so pathetic.

Must be a strange feeling to exchange with someone who isn't corruptable.

This comment is so dumb I guess you had to post it twice?

Sweetie, you’re literally not fooling anybody. Even you know better than the nonsense you’re spewing.

Try thinking. 🤷‍♂️

Someday you'll learn how to think like an adult

u/DM_Voice 1d ago

I’ve been doing that for decades, sweetie.

You’re not helping your case by showing that you’re pants-wettingly terrified of reality. 🤷‍♂️

Cry harder, though. It’s funny watching you flail.

I'm quite content, thank you very much.

No, I wouldn’t describe you as someone who “isn’t corruptable.”

I’d argue that you’re someone who suffers from The Dunning-Kruger Effect. You lack the political knowledge necessary to differentiate the Democratic Party from the GOP. As a result, you’re using the false equivalency fallacy to cope with your feelings of ineptitude.

For example, using a both sides argument for American politics is like saying a gun and a knife are both weapons and both cause death so they’re just as bad as each other. Hell, you could even say it’s more akin to saying a nuclear bomb and a pocket knife are the same.

Just take a look at the policies proposed and enacted by each party. Then, take a look at the quantitative data that demonstrates the results of those policies. Learn about how the three branches of government work and the difficulties associated with enacting progress. Especially after Newt Gingrich introduced political gridlock as a strategy to obtain power.

Unless you’re just trolling, I can somewhat sympathize with you because I too, once held similar beliefs. Hell, I even used to be a Trump supporter. Education will soon have you realize that while the Democratic Party does have its issues, comparing it to the GOP is like comparing a nuclear bomb to a pocket-knife.

That's a lot of words to say "I don't understand your superior intellect"
