Oh, Mitch. You dirty bitch.

Imagine if Dems did this. They’d call it communism, lol. Central planning, price controls, etc.

Now you’re just stacking fallacies. Circular reasoning, and Ad Ignorantiam behind unprovable counterfactual!? Yikes.

Lie requires proof of intent; you literally cannot prove this. Kindly stop speculating. Skull tattoo isn’t proof of nazi; never will be.

Rapist, per allegations, possibly. Probably.

I fully buy his argument on the tattoo, though. Nazis don’t sling pro-leftist arguments, lol. You can’t even demonstrate one nazi belief he’s held consistently, let alone as of lately.

Be better.

6 months as a driver for a US Diplomat for the State Department. Hardly a hardened killer, lol.

Oh well, I guess it’s all moot now. Susan Collins gets in, which is somehow even worse.

Citation needed. What are you talking about, “mercenary”? A driver?

In fact, if I recall he actively regrets the actions of Iraq and Afghanistan. People can’t change?

Sad thing is he’s still better than Collins. We need people advocating for progressive values; not just anti-zionists btw. Don’t get tunnel-vision!

I wouldn’t have even known it was a nazi tattoo, and neither did Platner when he got it while deployed as a 20-year-old dumb marine. Enough with this AIPAC-peddled bullshit.

Not fallacy; seems pretty on-point. Bigots coalesce around far-right extremism, and thus MAGA. That logically tracks.

Or what, you think blue-haired hippies preaching solidarity are dyed-in-the-wool bigots or something, lol?

By all means, I’m waiting for your evidence of where all these bigots are at that aren’t core maga – and also how this intersects with the facts that Biden was polling worse than Harris, and Michelle Obama has always polled higher than Trump ;)

Last chance, bud.

There you go with the fallacies again… What is this, Pokemon of fallacies? Trying to catch 'em all or something?

Well you’ve caught strawman.

hahah buddy, I checkmated you two comments ago; you just haven’t realized it yet.

Pee-wee chess, though, I get it. Still learning.

Still no evidence, and an increased propensity for aggression and ad hominems substituting said total lack of evidence, I see. Lots of fingers-in-ear denial and deflection as well.

Certainly aren’t convincing me of anything, lol.

I win.

Go ahead and sell me that bridge because there is a complete and total lack of evidence to support the claim. Can’t really prove a counterfactual. Others made the claim she lost because of this; when asked for evidence, they always come up short.

Counterpoints:

• Biden polled worse than Harris at the end. (White Guy polling worse than Black Woman). Hence the switch in the first place, even Biden agreed!

• Michelle Obama has always polled higher than anyone against Trump (Black Woman polling better than White Guy).

Sexists bigots were already core Republican voters never voting for any D no matter who. The battle was lost elsewhere.

I don’t exclude ignorance or poor critical-thinking skills either; though at the end of the day, that’s still enabling of fascism, too.

Such as the case for when users ignore modifiers like, “Most of the time”

So hero-blaming it is.

I’ll repeat: The 4 nays are ALL Democratic appointments.

Democrats aren’t perfect; they’re just better.

I’d rather not pigeon-hole all Democrats in the same.

It’s more accurate to say: Not all democrats are left leaning; but all left-leaning individuals in government are Democrats.

I have some insight as to why. As someone who canvassed, who actively spoke to Hispanic activists for Trump in person no less. Though I’ll leave that alone considering its anecdotal nature unless you’re interested.

Statistically, these groups – men across the board – are significantly less educated and thus susceptible to misinformation. They were explicitly targeted from GamerGate and onward.

If you break down exit-polling, you’ll find a key factor in predicting how someone voted was in fact their education attainment and less so their gender or skin color.

Does that mean they were less likely to vote for Harris? Yes, but it also means they’d be less likely to vote for any Democrat. More importantly, those who are actual bigots voting on pretenses of skin color or sex were core maga already.

Put it another way: An Old White Guy Joe Biden was polling worse than Harris. At the same time, Reuters polling has always shown Michelle Obama – female person of color – to poll higher against Trump than literally anyone. Ever.

Most of the time they’re a right-wing extremist pretending to be a leftist or enlightened centrist. If you start probing these tankies, you see they have a blind-spot the size of Putin’s bald-spot for Chinese or Russian atrocities, and their goal is oftentimes just to try to divide-and-conquer the genuine left-leaning Americans and stop them from voting, which helps fascists.

You and I have different definitions of the word, “directly,” but I think mine is at least in-line with the dictionaries just a tad bit more.

How can Democrats directly give three Republican directly- appointed SCOTUS justices?

Do you often blame the hero for failing to win, over the villain who made it necessary for the hero to act in the first place?

More reason why voting Democrat matters so much because those 4? Dem appointed.
