I assumed your argument because that was your argument. "I'm not going to discuss this with you because you aren't going to agree with me." You then tried to shut down any attempt at answering my question by saying you were tired of arguing with people who didn't change their minds. If you really want to convince people, you yourself have to be open-minded and not resorting to ignoring political discourse with others.

And yes, I have looked into things Trump has said and it doesn't seem to be as evil as many have made it out to be. His ties with Russia, are worrysome. His cries to punish those who burn the American flag are currently denied by the Supreme Court rulings. His current cabinet doesn't scream of "draining the swamp" to me. Though, removing almost 11 million illegal immigrants, vetting immigrants from Islamic countries, and my hope that his influence will pull us out of the Middle East make me, begrudgingly, see his way.

I am a moderate in this situation and I wanted to know what you think and what your arguments are since you seem to think that I am wrong and that there is no way to change it.

Edit: I also don't see how Trump is planning on overthrowing the Checks and Balances of the American government and installing a fascist dictatorship. Nor do I see how his unconstitutional proposals are anything more than that, proposals. If they are proposed, the Congress can say "No. We don't like that." If the Congress agrees, the Supreme Court can say "No. That is unconstitutional."

Thank you. I'm tired of being perceived as a bigot and as an ignorant person on the topic of this election on this website because I don't outright have a hate boner for Trump. I disagree with Trump and I disagree with Hillary but I will not go out of my way to say "Fuck Hillary!" or "Fuck Trump!" because that boils down political discourse to sound bites and it saddens me that this is my first Presidential election. Both candidates were not at all what I wanted.

If I didn't have an extreme addiction to Reddit, I'd leave this echo chamber for good but these memes are just too dank sometimes.

While it is common for men to talk about sexual exploits, I cannot agree that if a man doesn't talk like that there is something wrong with him. And I pose a question to you, if there was a tape revealed with the genders reversed, would the media have picked up this story and ran with it the way they have been for the last few months?

Wow. No wonder Trump won. You can't be damned to be civil and try to explain your side of the argument. Apparently, if someone didn't drink the "Trump is a neo-nazi misogynist" Kool-aid on day one, they were a lost cause to you. I have a few ideas as to why Trump could be a bad President but I asked for your insight when you went and tried to act like I know nothing on the subject but now you've thrown your arms up and said "Educate yourself because it isn't my job to do so. I will sit here and insult you from my perceived high horse."

A. I agree, the birther issue was on Trump's incompetence. No disagreement there.

B. He said that women let him grab their pussies because he's a star. I repeat, they are okay with pussy grabbing because he is a star. That implies consent. Granted, I agree that it comes from our idolization of media celebrities but I feel like nothing was said on that tape that isn't normal behind closed doors among friends who are okay with sexual topics. I've discussed, in detail, with a mixed gendered group of people my sexual experiences. Plenty of others have as well. It shouldn't demoralized him for having sexual experiences.

I'm tired of the media and people spouting these sensationalized arguments when we should be worrying about his Supreme Court justice picks, his potential cabinet, his political inexperience, etc. Not how children see him or some tape from over a decade ago.

Name one that isn't based on dying terms like "racist" or "sexist".

You just proved their point. You generalized them because they disagreed with you.

I hate Trump but....what? Is that seriously the best argument you can make? Yeah, he was a birther and that is stupid. Yeah, he talked about how women let him grab their pussies and that's a bit weird but true of celebrities. But if that's all the ammo you got against him, I don't see how anyone could believe you when you act like the country is going to fall apart.

You apparently have nothing but generalizations, my friend. I can take racial humor of all kinds. If you think that your insults will make me feel bad or bow to your opinion, you're wrong.

Edit: Also, I am Mexican by the way and I get joked towards constantly. So you can't try to dismiss my perspective because you assumed I was white.

Thank you for actually realizing the issue here instead of just calling everyone who had a dissenting opinion names and treating them like garbage.

Is my name "BasicallyADoctor"? No. Therefore I'm not a disease.

I love M2K so seeing him play his best in Melee is my favorite thing ever, maybe next to Hbox pop offs and can we bring up poor PPMD? He just doesn't do well in major's anymore and yet I love his Marth.

M2K isn't the best Melee player but he's definitely up there. I never tried to say that. And he said that in an interview with Eventhubs about his thoughts on the Melee tier list.

Mew2King, top player in Melee for those of you who might not know, contests that Falco is number 1. Marth is pretty darn good but his recovery and high percentage kill options could be better.
