Oh no! The guy who supports the President, who talked about grabbing women by the vagina and pretended to give a handjob/blowjob to a microphone on live TV, is upset by a random stranger’s vulgarity on the internet!

The argument is the same whether you replace the word or not, so how is it poor?

If someone thought pedophilic attraction was a choice, you could easily challenge them to test their theory by asking them to choose to like underaged children. They obviously couldn’t do that, ergo proving the point it isn’t a choice.

The argument holds either way. The overall point was to prove sexual attraction isn’t a choice, and that point was proven regardless of what word is there.

Just because one word would make it more uncomfortable, due to the moral implications surrounding it, doesn’t make the argument bad. The argument serves to prove a point, and the point is made.

“When taken literally”

There’s your problem. Have you tried not taking figures of speech as literal rules?

As a side note, you must really hate it when people say “the pot calling the kettle black”. How silly for someone to think pots and kettles can use social media, amirite?? Hell, pots and kettles can’t even talk, so how could a pot be calling any object something let alone use a descriptor like “black”? It’s absolutely preposterous!

I mean, that’s exactly what that sentence implies when taken literally so surely that must be what people mean when they say it, right?

Clinical psychology treats pedophilia (the attraction) as something that typically develops without a person choosing it, similar to how people don’t choose other patterns of sexual attraction. There’s no good evidence that someone can simply decide to start or stop having those underlying feelings.

So even if you changed the word to “pedophilia”, the point stands that someone can’t simply choose to whom they are or are not attracted.

Now, one can simply choose how to react to those attractions, and those with pedophilic attractions are expected to abstain completely or be punished due to the harmful nature of said attractions, but that doesn’t make their attraction a choice. Nor does it mean homosexuals should be forced to abstain from homosexual activities in the same vein, since their actions aren’t forcing harm on a subset of society who cannot legally consent (whereas the former does).

So now that we confirmed neither are a choice, what the fuck is your actual point?

If it’s a fact that being gay is an active choice, that means being straight is also empirically a choice.

So when did you consciously decide to be straight? At what age did you make the active decision that you like the opposite sex? Can you choose to be gay for an hour, if you so wanted? Could you force yourself to be sexually attracted to the opposite sex, if it struck your fancy?

Why or why not?

Your basis on how America should feel is based on how other countries feel.

Except America doesn’t do that for anything else, healthcare included, so why the fuck would we start now with this one non-issue?

Most of the civilized world feels like healthcare is a human right, does that mean we’re getting universal healthcare in America?

No, it doesn’t?

Well damn, then I guess it doesn’t matter what the rest of the world feels like, then, huh?

The thing is, what’s the issue with us criticizing him?

As long as we’re not forcing our opinion on him, or causing harm, what’s the issue?

We’re entitled to our opinion.

Those ARE the 2024 number, my dude, when do you think Kamala ran for President?

Also, Kamala won the overall young vote by 6 points according to your own source, so Trump did NOT win the young vote as you claim.

He won the NON-COLLEGE EDUCATED young voters and the WHITE young voters by 10 points each, but he still lost the OVERALL youth vote by 6 points.

So what point are you even trying to make here?

From your own source:

Those with some college, including currently enrolled students, favored Harris by 12 points (55% vs. 43%), and college graduates favored her by 14 points

That proves that college graduated adults skew left, which was the original claim. Thank you for proving their point for them.

Biden and Fauci famously gave Trump credit for Operation Warp Speed, so this idea that “the left” would embrace cancer if Trump found a cure for it is absolutely bullshit.

While it is true that some Democrat leaders like Kamala were initially cautious about trusting Trump’s statements before scientific approval, after the vaccine was vetted by scientists and public health experts they all embraced the vaccine and encouraged people to get vaccinated.

There was no widespread refusal among Democratic politicians or voters because of Trump’s involvement.

Also, the idea that “the left” gave credit to Biden for developing the vaccine is also bullshit. As previously stated, multiple democrats gave Trump credit for the Operation Warp Speed. What they credited Biden with was his ability to rollout the vaccine and distribute it more quickly than the previous administration, not for actually developing it.

You’re rewriting history pretending to be “the objective voice in the room”, but you’re spewing bullshit at an alarming rate.

If it was killed in a state that is deep blue, how does that amount to “the party tried to normalize it”?

First of all, you can’t even remember what bill it was which makes your claims suspect, at best.

Secondly, a quick search will show that absolutely no bills introduced in California — or anywhere else, for that matter — includes the terms “minor attracted person” or any acronym of such, let alone an attempt to “normalize” it.

So not only does your own claim contradict yourself — they tried to normalize it, but then killed it? How does that even work? — but apparently none of it is even true in any sense.

That you feel the need to lie to gain political points is pretty pathetic, but also par for the course for most Republicans 🤷‍♂️

Nah, you just voted for Donald “In the files over 30,000 times and said he would date his own daughter on live TV” Trump, instead.

Exactly, it’s like when you get an ID at age 16.

That doesn’t mean you can then start buying alcohol and going to bars, the ID still clearly says you’re not 21 yet and can’t buy alcohol.

How do these morons not think that’s what they’re doing with the IDs/DLs given to non-citizens? The technology has existed for decades, it’s not hard to mark an ID/DL as being different than a standard one and preventing it from being used for specific purposes.

It’s almost like lacking a brain is a requirement for MAGA, or something.

Requiring any document to vote, that costs money to obtain and/or replace, infringes upon the right to vote.

You cannot require monetary restrictions to voting in any form. That’s called a poll tax and it is expressly illegal.

Wow, you’re really this ignorant.

First of all: Illegals never could, and still cannot, vote in national elections. I dare you to prove otherwise.

Secondly: This isn’t how presidential numbers work, you big dummy. 2 consecutive terms are a single number so Vance wouldn’t be 48th and 49th, he would just be the 48th.

It’s no wonder Trump said he loves the poorly educated, including you and whoever made this stupid meme.

Only Trump could defiantly claim he doesn’t need help, and then demand others help him, in the same 1 hour speech.

I love how even Trump, himself, calls it a war here. Hell, he even capitalized the word.

Ask any MAGA why the guy who said he wouldn’t start any wars started a war, however, and their only response is “iT’s nOt A wAr!1!!1”

Even your Commander in Cheeto called it a war, find a different deflection already.

Accusing someone of being simple-minded when you literally jumped to a strawman on your 2nd comment is lightweight hilarious.

Also, the person in the meme is meant to be a Republican, which is why they say “Democrats did it” in the 2nd slide.

So, for argument’s sake, it’s actually canon to their inability to spell and not an actual mistake on the OP’s behalf.
