In short Republicans are going to screw over 23 million poor Americans because they don’t want Democrats getting political credit for helping them during an election season. And because our press is generally broken and afraid of calling a duck a duck, this is going to get dressed up as a genuine concern about wasteful spending by a party that’s long been a huge fan of no shortage of wasteful spending.
Maybe we have real issues we’re upset about?
No, it can only be plants trying to change the election outcome by making people upset!
It couldn’t be they’re actually unhappy with how hollow and useless the Democrats have been for over forty years!
You sound like this guy:
Because we’re not like the Trump Cult and we have the audacity to question our leaders, their competency, and their motives? God damn, go join their fucking cultish ranks if undying, unquestioning loyalty is what you want.
“Can’t you just be complaint, unthinking, unquestioning voters who just are happy their team is winning?” isn’t the flex you think it is.
I don’t think you appreciate the stakes.
I actually don’t think you do, or you wouldn’t be jerking off the people who are currently glad-handing the Israeli version of Trump.
Also, not an actual argument or rebuttal.
So got it, all you’ve got is conspiratorial bullshit to spew.
You sound more like a paid operative than I do. I can defend my fucking opinions and don’t need a script.
Also, being a paid political operative isn’t illegal in the USA, and it’s been well-documented that both Republicans and Democrats use them, so take a fucking hike with this bullshit. There’s a reason Democrats haven’t made it illegal, and it’s because it’s useful to them, too. Currently paid operatives don’t have to say they’re being paid to promote a position, like you have to in a political ad. Why isn’t this on Democrats agenda, hmmm? If paid operatives are such a problem, hmmm?
Oh! Got it. You’re a both sides guy. That makes a lot of sense. Yeah, we’re done. Take it easy.
You’re done because you’re out of script? Shocking.
Your arguments and rebuttals have more holes than a wheel of Emmentaler. They don’t even make sense under the most cursory scrutiny. Whether you agree with the other guy or not, you’re shorting yourself by not deeply analyzing your opinions to see if they’re both internally and externally congruent. Everyone really owes themselves that.
