| > unearned sense of moral superiority I don't think prioritizing democracy is more moral, but evidently you do. I am not responsible for your own shame. This has consistently been my experience with extremist conservatives: they are riddled with shame about their own beliefs they choose to have. They often lie about what they believe, excluding huge amounts of information, to try to paint what they think will be a more pleasant picture of their beliefs. It's rather sad in my opinion. > malicious intent and/or ideological blindness, rather than from genuine differences in opinion I'm "assuming" this because you haven't actually shared any opinion. You, and others, haven't demonstrated what good will come from allowing corporations more direct influence over elections. Because, presumably, you understand nothing good will come of it. If you did, I would hope such a silver bullet would be the first words out of your mouth in an argument. But they are inexplicably missing. > silence dissent Again, there's no dissent for me to silence. > It's authoritarian extremism I'm a person, not an authoritarian. Perhaps if you want a more equal argumentative battlefield, you can create a multi-billion dollar corporation and steer democracy to your liking? I have no obligation to give your arguments equal weight, particularly when you are too cowardly to even articulate your arguments. If you don't even believe yourself then obviously I don't either. If you could articulate how giving the ultra-wealthy and ultra-powerful even greater influence over elections than they already have is somehow a good thing for democracy and voters like you or I, then I will listen. Until then there's simply nothing for me to listen to. |
I think your constant personal attacks show an unearned sense of moral superiority.
>They often lie about what they believe,
More assumptions of bad faith showing your unearned sense of moral superiority over your political opposition.
>I'm "assuming" this because you haven't actually shared any opinion.
Me not sharing an opinion on a different topic than what we were discussing is not evidence of ignorance or malicious intent.
But your hubris and pathological belief in the moral inferiority of the political opposition blinds you to basic logic.
I will not allow you to hijack the debate and move the subject to something that we were not discussing with your baseless personal attacks and generalizations about anyone who disagrees with the political left. It's a heinous way of debating, you're basically a bully and an extremist, and I'm not going to indulge in your attempts and your bait. I've already made my point about the Supreme Court and the lack of legal basis for your arguments about their judgments, and that's all there is to debate until we've resolved that issue.
