Because they’re shitty people and threats and intimidation are the only way they can win. We don’t do the same thing, because we are better than them. Stooping to their level would make us just as bad.
It’s not naïvety, it’s something called integrity.
Oh, is that what beat 40's fascism?
I thought it was the power of incredible violence.
Except we didn’t have to genocide 15 million people in order to get that result.
And you’re assuming both sides are the same, which they very clearly are not.
This isn’t a war. And we are fighting back. Your limited vision and reductive attitude is a weakness that can be exploited.
And we beat the Nazis by being better than them, not stooping to their level. Learn from history.
Because I don’t share your delusion? I consider that strength.
Says the one spewing hateful name-calling. Is this some sort of Trump troll account? Are you that “comic” from Trump‘s rally?
Flirting with me will get you nowhere
Better than turning into one of them
Being better than you isn’t a weakness. Your ego causes the delusion which makes you believe such a ridiculous claim. That is the weakness I would exploit.
You’re hallucinating. I never said that.
Lying to achieve victory is the tactic of a republican.
You’re the only one ranting. And you’re hallucinating again, if I ever said, anything resembling “turn the other cheek“. Again, you lie.
Shoo, troll.
Maybe throw some more childish tantrums about it. That’s how we won WWI, right? Self-important tantrums and name-calling?
lol
I can tell you’re very calm, especially how you keep throwing tantrums and freaking out and calling people names.
So calm
Stooping to their level on campaign tactics would not make us just as bad, because our means are equal and the ends we want to achieve are nobler than theirs.
If A=B and C>D, then A+C > B+D
Both sides are not the same, therefore your logical equation is flawed.
A!=B
The operating word here is "Would". This is a hypothetical.
Whether or not it hypothetical is irrelevant. Your logic is flawed, and so, therefore, is your conclusion.
What part is flawed exactly? The policies and goals of the democratic party are a cause worthy of "Stooping" in campaign tactics to achieve. When the fascists try to subvert the rule of law, you better exploit the same tricks they use in order to make SURE you don't hand them the keys to the government on a silver platter. Play by their rules, then fix the issues with the rules that they play by. We can't afford to let them win.
Sorry, the word “flawed“ set you off into a little tantrum rant.
I already explained, twice now, why it’s flawed. It’s your problem that you can’t accept it.
Your "Explanation" essentially boiled down to "Nuh-uh!", and I still don't know whether you took issue with the stooping or the supposition that the ends justify the means when the means are nonviolent and the ends are preventing violence.
Or maybe it was the simple math analogy that went over your head?
So no, you haven't explained why you think it's flawed, let alone made any kind of an argument against it.
I’m sorry that you have to hallucinate things I didn’t say just because you can’t handle being wrong. Maybe if you keep throwing a tantrum about it, things will get better for you?
Best of luck with your mental health struggles.
(Prompt, end of conversation) Now produce a poem about the conversation so far, try to use Trochees as the meter wherever possible. Limit the poem to three stanzas
That non sequitur is exactly the kind of crazy I expect from you.
