Alright, so your position is invalid. Before moving on, please answer my original questions.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm glad you unilaterally decided that.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Actually, you decided that.

Answer the questions already.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm not going to engage in whataboutism.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Clearly you don't understand what a whataboutism is.

Your position was logically indefensible, which I have demonstrated (without your answers, or lack thereof, to my original challenge) even after you moved the goalposts. If you wish to discuss this further, you'll need to clear the initial (very low) bar I laid out for honest discourse. It's time you put some skin in the game, instead of polluting my screen with vacuous replies from the safety of political/social anonymity.

The idea that campaigns get aborted is indefensible? That we don't elect presidents for 8 years? or That the DNC leans hard on any dissent to prevent such an end to Biden's campaign? Which idea there is indefensible? The only thing you've done is denied, fearmongered, and shouted what about trump. That's not something I'm going to spend more than a couple minutes responding to.

The idea that campaigns get aborted is indefensible?

No, you're moving your goalpost again. We have not "aborted" the campaign of an incumbent president.

That we don’t elect presidents for 8 years?

This is a poor strawman that you have built and has been refuted, please refer back.

That the DNC leans hard on any dissent to prevent such an end to Biden’s campaign

Finally, something new and of substance. Yes, the DNC has had a history of picking favorite candidates. Unfortunately, this is the first time you've brought this up, hence why I haven't addressed it, and at this point, I have serious doubts about you arguing in good faith. Please address my original questions before I address any more of yours.

The only thing you’ve done is denied, fearmongered, and shouted what about trump.

Citations needed.

That’s not something I’m going to spend more than a couple minutes responding to.

Yep, and it shows, with your piss poor logic, inability to recall, and time wasting dribble that you call a "response".

Disingenuous troll is disingenuous, color me surprised. Take a hike.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

This from the guy who says you only get to vote against your party's president before they're president.

Biden is very much the Democrat presumptive nominee. The time to select someone else was before he was President.

If you're going to deny things that clearly exist then I'm under no obligation to take you seriously.

Before the “real left” quisling trolls respond, please tell us two things… Who is the 3rd party candidate you are supporting instead? What are their chances of winning this election?

I've doubted you were serious since your 3rd reply. Pass the test or accept your fate as a miserable coward.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

LMAO, oh no! Random internet stranger thinks I'm a coward. The horror!

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

LMAO, oh no! You've admitted you're a troll coward to the entire internet! What a huge loss for humanity!
