How the Democrats win in a Landslide

[_EAllusion]

Again, it's the hypocrisy of claiming the media is guilty of doing something you turned around and did yourself.

Again, obfuscate away anarchist. But you exposed yourself.

I claimed there are two things the media is guilty of:

1) Not adequately covering Donald Trump's mental deterioration. Did my post do that? No, no it did not. I have repeatedly expressed concern about the President's mental ability, thus contradicting the idea that I'm avoiding it. My complaints about media whitewashing of Trump's mental status require me to reference it, in fact.

2) Holding Republicans to different standards than Democrats. Did my post do that? No, no it did not. Being concerned about a Democrat's mental deterioration doesn't preclude me from also being concerned about a Republican's. I have, in point of fact, expressed concern about both.

Pro-tip. Learn what irony is. Then learn what hypocrisy is. Then post better.

It was both, EA. Hypocritical and ironic. Hypocritical because it represents a double standard of treatment. Ironic in that it is an example of social media propoganda pushing undermining themes aimed at causing the thing you claimed ti fear would happen: a repeat of an attack on the establishment Democrat they results in Trump being re-elected. You're welcome for the lesson.

What a hypocrite. You're using words when you said some words someone else said were bad?! How ironical.

I see I hit a nerve.

Anyway, since EA spammed the thread to attempt to cover up his personal anarchist demons, here's a link to something meaningful that got buried:

The introduction was written in 2006, which seems so long ago when you read the following in it:

It is difficult for younger generations to imagine what life was really like in that age of totalitarian conflict. Collectivist ideals, whether those of armies, political youth movements or of trade unions, have virtually all disintegrated. The passions and hatreds of such an era are a world away from the safe, civilian environment of health and safety, and citizen’s rights in which we live today. That past is indeed ‘another country’. Spain itself has changed completely in a matter of decades. Its emergence from the civil war and Francoist era has been one of the most astonishing and impressive transformations in the whole of Europe.

You know it's going well for you when your adopting the Smokey defense. Why not just ask me if I'm triggered a dozen times? You know, as a substitute for confronting the fact that you didn't like Biden's...slowing being mocked so much that it caused your brain to break.

Anywho, refusing to acknowledge the changes in Biden out of fear it will benefit Trump is essentially the same mentality as refusing to acknowledge the spread of coronavirus for fear it will benefit Democrats. Have fun with that.

So are you over pretending to be concerned that propogandists will spread the attack against Biden claiming he is suffering from dementia? Because you're, you know, spreading the attack against Biden claiming he is suffering from dementia?

Folks, behold! An anarchist revealed!

Joe Biden's speaking ability, energy level, and general awareness is noticeably in decline from where it was 10 years ago. If you think this is dastardly propaganda, bully for you, but it's not. Moreover, it's not "hypocritical" to think this is the case while also thinking that Donald Trump's speaking reveals concerns about his cognitive ability that the media avoids by not directly addressing it and editing down his comments favorably.

Joe Biden is not some golden calf you get to worship just because you want him to win. There is nothing wrong with, nor hypocritical about pointing out flaws in Joe Biden even if you believe that flaws also exist in Donald Trump. You love to posture as an above-it-all centrist, but you're coming across as a partisan crank here.

Yeah, Republicans are going to run against Biden's mental status because it's smart to run against apparent flaws in your opponent that people rightly worry about. That doesn't mean its the job of anyone who doesn't want Trump to win to go silent about it lest they help Trump. That "do not undermine the leader no matter what" mentality is one of the reasons Trump-world sucks in the first place.

They said similar things about him in 2012.

So it seems you got the memo and are making sure your handlers can verify receipt. Cool.

I don't like Biden as a politician, but I'd be comfortable with his prospects of winning if not for the fact his cognition appears to be deteriorating rapidly. Once Republicans start focusing on that, the media is going to go from politely ignoring it to obsessing over it. He's the only Democrat I can imagine looking bad next to Trump in a debate by virtue of not being altogether there. The idea of him being President is a joke, but being not-Trump is the priority atm. So, real good shot I'll be voting for the demented candidate over the demented candidate in November. American politics absolutely sucks. It's because our media sucks.

...

Standards have changed for Republicans in that there are none. Democrats still are covered with obsessive scrutiny. In fact, because there is no greater viture in legacy media coverage of politics than fostering a sense of balance, the more broken Trump is, the more the Democrat will face scrutiny for whatever can be scrounged up.

Just because, you know, you aren't an anarchist hypocrite doing the very thing you decried happening earlier. Some people, I guess.
