Hey, bro, here's Jim Jordan saying that anyone in the GOP who works with Biden is the worst. McConnell is mentioned in the article so maybe this is what you meant?Binger wrote: ↑Sun Jul 31, 2022 11:31 pmJesus, honor. McConnell is a crap stain on society. But ya know. Maybe it was a bit of an exaggeration to make a point. You should ask the moderators to ban me or kill me since you are so smart.honorentheos wrote: ↑Sun Jul 31, 2022 11:17 pm
Oh? Feel free to put forward the evidence that non-Trumper members of the GOP hate McConnell beyond the infighting over Trump. I'm intrigued.
So what you are saying - explicitly - is you aren't engaging in dialog or an exchange of ideas as is required for a democracy. But instead are a malcontent who views the issue as one where you feel disenfranchised so the system can kiss off. You don't care.Binger wrote: ↑Sun Jul 31, 2022 11:51 pmThen stopping making this about me, and stick to the topic.

Here is my good faith assertion. I DO NOT VOTE IN ELECTIONS WITH VOTE BY MAIL. I DO NOT RECOMMEND VOTING IN ELECTIONS WITH VOTE BY MAIL. Y'ALL ARE FREE TO CARRY ON WITHOUT ME. Y'ALL CAN THANK ME FOR NOT VOTING AGAINST YOUR SELECTIONS FOR CANDIDATES AND OTHER MEASURES.
Here is another good faith assertion. IF YOU LIKE VOTING BY MAIL, DO IT. In most states, voting by mail is your right. That may be true in all states. I, frankly, don't care.
meh... whatever. If they want to pick up ballots from drop boxes and post boxes, great. Have a great time.

Sounds about right.
To bring this up to this forum, you aren't able to offer a reasoned defense for your opposition to mail-in ballots other than your innate malcontentedness. It's part of the difference between popular opinions working within a democratic process compared to populist discontent and focus on opposition to a perceived oppressive elite. You exemplify why it is not accurate to call popular support the same thing as populism.Binger wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 12:17 ammeh... whatever.

That is a diagnosis that you could not make with the information you have. Also, were you to have enough information to make a qualified diagnosis of me, it would require discussion and engagement, which, in another thread, you said I can't do. So which is it, honor? Do you dialogue enough with me to diagnose me, or do I not participate so you do not have the data?honorentheos wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 12:47 amYour inability to process the difference between populism and popular support.
ETA: I mean that literally. I don't believe you are actually capable of discerning the difference. It's too...damaging.
