I like this board more that PotD now.

What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things that you said
We were to gain
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said were yours and mine

It's bad, but I'm still guilty of it myself at times. I think most everyone does it, even if they don't realize it.

Why you feel it necessary to have people identify with a political party in order to answer a polar question about a particular rhetorical tactic. This seems utterly ridiculous to me.

Because people are too fickle in a game where being fickle kills all your credibility. Hope we cleared all the confusion away.

You have, but not in the way you seem to think. Best of luck.

In either case, it's a logical fallacy. If a chain smoker tells you that smoking is bad for you, the fact that he's a chain smoker doesn't invalidate his argument. What he says is still true.

Are you implying that conservatives are addicted to Trump?

Because he still chooses to understand what he's only capable of.

I hate it. Like the people on FB who complain about Covid by saying "but why aren't we talking about Epstein anymore?!" for example. You even see people doing it about Flint's water crisis every now and then (which is false, because they have mostly clean water now).

Just fuck off. Stop downplaying a major epidemic by comparing it to another bad thing going on in the world that has nothing to do with it.

This poll isn't fair to centrists and people who think whataboutism is neither bad nor good. But also I don't care about that.
