    Since its hard to keep up sometimes:

    Which party busted up a union strike? Democrats Which one refused to repeal Trumps tax cuts for the wealthy? Democrats Which one worked directly with McConnell as VP to make the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy permanent? Biden Which party forced everyone to participate in protecting healthcare profits under the guise of healthcare? Democrats Which party should have gone through the HEA to eliminate student debt because it already had provisions to allow canceling student debt, but they didnt so it would get challenged and fail? Democrats Which party is over funding oppressive cops and is now pushing for ‘cop cities’ all over the country so they can subjugate uniformly? Democrats Which party passed a crime bill so unpopular with the public and Congress they had to sneak it into the Violence Against Women Act so it would pass? Democrats Which party help increase the federal use of for profit prisons to house the targeted black males using their crime bill? Democrats Which party fundraised via fear mongering over Roe for 50 years while promising to codify it into law, then did nothing resulting on it being challenged by SCOTUS? Democrats Which party talks about climate change but issues more drilling permits than any other President before them, and further increases funding to the world’s largest polluter, the military? Democrats

    Do you see a trend now? All these things were done without the controlled opposition republicans

        What he is doing is called gish gallop and has soured all forms of debate in America. Its… textbook. You just give out so many arguments, no matter the merit, that it’s a complete slog to counter each of them. Where it falls flat is if you press them on one fucking thing, doesn’t even have to be about the shit they listed and you can easily win any argument with these ass hats.

        It’s funny, cause when you do press them and they see their bullshit isn’t working they go, “no fair.” Pricks, all of em.

          They say that you shouldn’t argue with idiots because they’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

          It’s a skill issue, I think too many erudite people refuse to appropriately educate themselves in the ways of the disingenuous, ignorant, and uneducated because those things are incongruent with truth and knowledge.

          They lack the understanding that you need to practice arguing with idiots to get better at arguing with idiots; so they never develop the skills to be pointedly obtuse, belligerent and mean in an effective manner to shut down and wind out other belligerent people. Subsequently they lack the knowledge on how to fight back against wilfully ignorant or disingenuous speech.

          For a nerdy analogy I’m the grey jedi of argumentation.

          _Reposting this part of the masterclass because apparently mods can’t read prior context and need to lest they consider themselves included. http://lemmy.world/comment/2876316_

          Sure there is, people like you are too stupid, ignorant, and incompetent to participate in the conversation you want to have yet you will continue to try because you have the functional mental capacity of an amoeba. This comment is proof, you’re so wilfully ignorant and incapable of checking your own ego that you can’t help but be disingenuous and belligerent because that’s the limit of your knowledge.

          When it’s obvious that you lack even the slightest chance of cognizance then there’s no longer any point in trying to “discuss” or "converse"with you because you lack the fundamental skills to participate and are literally too stupid to realise your own incapabilities, leaving just one course of interaction, derision and humiliation of your crayon munching capacity.

          Like trying to teach a dog how to tie a shoe, you just don’t have it in you to participate, but you’ll try and think you’re participating anyway

      Reposting for posterity, apparently the mods are prone to removing legitimate conversation and discussion because bad words hurt their fefe’s. +20 / -2 at time of removal.

      Yeah, I see a trend of ignorance and stupidity in your posts, you ignore the why and the how and the intent and the hurdles. You look at a result and ignore everything about how it got there because you’re too stupid to think beyond one layer of complexity.

      Like the union strike that was broken for capitalist ideals, not progressive ideals, but Biden still negotiated and got the workers demands from the rail companies. But you ignore that. And every other item you listed has just as much if not more context that your braindead troglodyte mentally deficient self can’t comprehend because you’ve been poisoned by lack of education, lack of nutrition, and lack of social support, so you grew up functionally retarded. **

        The only ignorance here are the fools that can’t see their party and its leaders are incompetent. And that you support right-wing policies and legislators
