this idea needs to be mainstreamed...it identifies a particular variant of bothsides that we all see all the time

There needs to be a pithy name for the particular kind of Both Sides fallacy in which hypothetical misconduct by one side is used preemptively to excuse actual misconduct by another pic.twitter.com/aZUY5HNGtx

Besides, so many conservatives (no stroke required) fail to speak coherently (looking at you Mr. Walker), yet they're not destroyed by any journalist.

 

Right! I mean, it's arguably the most prominent Senate race in the whole damn country!

 

The end is great

Extremely telling that the Republican voter casually espousing lunatic conspiracy theories is described with no apparent reflection as "a moderate." https://t.co/Jfja0JLMW0

We're in the most precarious moment for our democracy in living memory and every straight news article about it is just pure nonsense, actively obscuring the danger by pretending it's an open question whether the kooks who want to end it might have a point

Stylized? C'mon man. The roundel and the iron cross are almost identical beside a line taken off the edges of the cross. It's the same. And no, it's not a symbol of Nazis. Its been around way before them. But yes, neo nazi's have adopted it like they have adopted so many other symbols.

Why don't all democratic candidates just ask at every debate, if they have them with these big lie proponents, one question.

"Why are you participating in this election, participating in the debates, spending millions of dollars on advertising and voter drives, if you fundamentally believe that voting doesn't count and that some shadow organization decides what votes to count and who is gonna win? Is it because you know that voting does matter and that you have a chance of winning? If so, why are you lying?"

 

Do you believe Donald Trump is wrong and he lost fair and square?

If you win will you support a system that disqualifies votes and supports officials picking officials and not voters?

 

well it's clear they're not thinking about "crime" as a discrete set of acts but "criminals" as a class of people who are criminals regardless of what they actually do. new york city is full of "criminals" so therefore it must have a higher crime rate than oklahoma https://t.co/FNjLgZXjcm

Conservative views of cities are stuck in the 70s and 80s.

Republicans like to cry about how California is a "hellhole" and that is "failing."

Meanwhile, under Democratic leadership, California has just become the 4th biggest economy on earth, with its economy now larger than Germany.

"Truss' political career was shattered in a flash by the baizuo's (white left) political correctness" - Mei Xinyu, an economist pundit, attributes the fall of the Truss administration to the selection of meritless "blacks," "Indians," and "female officials".

Trump Org. Trial, Day 2. A potential juror: “Mr. Trump has no morals. He thinks only of himself. I think he is a criminal. I think he has done irreparable damage to this country. And thats exactly why i think i can be impartial in this case."
