But what if you were right 50 years ago?

You me mean, that’s not the after effect of defacement?

I starred your post, but in fairness every negative thing anyone has said to you on this thread is valid. So don’t spoil things now by getting offended or trying to defend yourself or push back. You had the right tack earlier.

In fairness, he actually isn’t important in any way and they aren’t co-workers - they have literally never worked together. Having people splice your images together into a movie is not the same as working together. Would people be getting pissy if she repeatedly failed to recognize sebastian stan’s makeup artist,…

The implication being that he’s being shoved out of the party and is only pretending that he's leaving it of his own volition to avoid looking weak.

Argument from derision, strawmanning and “stop talking about it” - all the arguments of someone who is emotionally attached to a position he can’t defend.

What exactly did they accomplish? The primary effect of the revolution was to shift power from one set of elites to another. Later generations expanded the franchise but that likely would have happened anyway.

Projection. You conservatives loathe this country so much you'd like to carve off more than a century of its historical development and return it to the 19th century.

In haiti, maybe ... Everywhere else it's a little more complicated. Don't you like to think of yourself as a sophistated thinker?

Such an ironic argument for you to be making in the current political climate where conservatives explicitly reject the premise of majority rule by describing our nation as "a republic, _not_ a democracy" to justify the reign of their own chief executive.

Taking on the british empire was at best a morally neutral act, and democracy predated our founding fathers (and the expansion of democracy and human rights continued apace in the british empire and would have done so even without this particular revolution) and our particular republican form of government is a bit of…

Those arguments were specifically anticipated and rebutted before you made them. You can’t just trot out your standard talking points without addressing the rebuttals to them that have already been laid down; that’s not how debate works. Doing so signals you can't really rebut the arguments you oppose but have a need…

Wow, the rape apologists really crawled from under the rocks on this article. First-degree sodomy is covered here so that when a rapist commits both vaginal rape and sodomy during an encounter and a dumbass jury decides it can only convict on the sodomy charge beyond a reasonable doubt (maybe the jury is unclear as to…

No, rape apologist, a conviction would not have to be the minimum bar, because false accusations are vanishingly rare, and child custody decisions are typically decided on a lower standard of evidence than is generally used in criminal court.

It is literally impossible to do effective forest management without using fire to fight fire, to prevent the conditions in which destructive forest fires run rampant. Trying to suppress fire instead of using it to burn up that which needs to be destroyed only sets the stage for future disaster. Your respectability…

They support and want specifically him precisely because he is awful; for the most part they don’t care about his policies (peace w/little rocket man? fine, nuke little rocketman? Also fine) or care about them only as pretexts (abortion, “the wall”). The reason they hate liberals so much, the reason they have built an…

Nominally his campaign is temporarily suspended while he recovers from back surgery; the subtext is that Biden’s entry into the race pushed him out, but with the threat of him re-entering after super Tuesday if and when it’s clear that some unamerican Socialist, not Biden, is going to be the Democratic party’s nominee.

Those 11% are pseudo nevertrumpers who will always come back to him, rather than voting for a socialist or a ”socialist”. We don’t need those people which is fortunate because we will never get them.

The idea of bernie being capable of winning in a brokered convention doesn’t square with the idea of him being the victim of the dnc. If your three or four candidates are sanders/warren/harris/biden or sanders/warren/harris (assuming biden flames out completely) then the best case scenario for socialists is bernie…
