Except that's not what you're doing. You're making subjective statements and claiming they are objective. You are labeling the points of others as "bad arguments" as if if your declaration automatically makes them so.
Quote:"Absolutists" who "brook no dissent" do not ask their opponents to clarify and offer more evidence for, or restate their points. And conversely, they don't opt out of dialogue when asked for evidence or to further explain their reasoning, or to demonstrate an understanding of their opponent's argument.
Except that's not what you're doing. You're reiterating your opinion or my opinion. The only difference is you're upholding your opinion as an inassailable fact.
Quote:Avoiding such ordinary challenges of civil debate--that's what absolutists do who brook no dissent. They state their conclusions, and if they're feeling generous they may restate them once more, but then that's that.
I'll take "things that make you go hmm" for a thousand, Alex.
Quote:Your claims that Trumpism is dependent only on Trump's "presence" and that the Dem party poses a radical far left danger greater than four more years of Trump are at this point unsupportable. Their weakness has been laid out step by step, unanswered, in posts #45-46. Claiming I've made my point and you've made yours doesn't make this a "tie."
Except they absolutely are supportable. You just don't agree with it. You have taken objective fact and drawn a conclusion. I have done the same. You think your position is superior, I find it fatuous. You discount examples I have supplied out of hand and hold up your examples as paragons of truth. As stated before we have been arguing about our opinions for several posts now and it serves no further purpose. You think you've provided a superior argument and appear determined to continue until I fall to my knees in supplication. It's not going to happen. I disagree, completely, with your conclusion (especially as you still aren't actually addressing the point I'm making) and that's that. No need for any further back and forth. We respectfully disagree on this subject and that's the end of it.

All seriousness aside this thread was highlighting Trump's inability to think, speak or plan until it went of on.."but Biden" along with the usual semantic arguments (you said "people" instead of "biden supporters"!!!!11!!1!)
Its too funny.
Dill is doing fine without your help Dino. He's a big boy.
