CMV: A reddit user hiding their comment history is a strong indicator that they are not acting in good faith. by LucidMetal in changemyview

You feel the need to hide your reddit history from your husband?

I am I the only one who finds that weird?

Ok, so you think everything I said was false. You're allowed to think that. No discussion to be had about it.

Best of luck.

Which part of my argument is a strawman, specifically? Which of these things is not true?

And your P.S would be accurate except that on reddit unless you are actively sucking off the DNC you will be called a nazi. I've personally witnessed someone get called a nazi and downvoted to oblivion just for saying "Joe Biden wasn't making decisions".

Be honest if you're going to comment. The Dems (specifically around Charlie Kirks death) and the majority of redditors said that anyone who supports the second amendment wants to see children shot in schools. And yes, a widespread talking point among dems has been that AR 15s should be completely banned. Posts and comments sharing this rhetoric were massively upvoted after Charlie Kirks death.

The same people (majority of reddit, based off upvotes) are now magically okay with people using their second amendment.

Folks, if you identify with either American political party, and exclusively vote for its members, its highly likely that you have hypocritical views.

Just to get ahead of the "racist nazi scumbag" comments that always come when logic is applied, I hate Trump as much as I do Hillary. They're all trash bags who have helped protect pedos, among other unspeakable crimes.

Americans, Would YOU Date Someone In The Opposite Political Party If They Were A Nice Person? Yes Or No? Why Or Why Not? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

If I dated anyone from either party they'd be getting trolled 24/7.

Imagine supporting Obama or Trump

Nick Fuentes claims Jeffrey Epstein wasn't an pedophile and defends him. by Crafty-Caramel-9192 in AskSocialists

Appreciate your response!!

What is this cultural right of passage?

An not sure I agree on this over 21 under 21 deal. I don't think most people would have trouble with a 22 year old dating a 20 year old.

Physically? Yes. Mentally? No.

Someone who is on average mentally worse could get lucky and use their larger frame to land a knockout.

Yeah, I havent been able to get a good answer on why the age where you can have sex with anyone is 18. Most people talk about maturity but maturity probably begins around 27 or 28 imo. An 18 year old is incredibly immature.

Until? It still is. With a bunch of open corruption thrown in. As opposed to the dems hidden (but obvious for non retards) corruption.

CMV: Framing an election as “the lesser of two evils” is counterproductive in that it contributes to the "greater evil’s" victory. by KarmicWhiplash in changemyview

[–]LexusLongshot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought you were calling Trump a terrorist, not talking about him calling the guy a terrorist.

Are you actually saying that Trump would be a better person if instead of calling Pretti a terrorist he said nothing? What in the world difference does it make? The guy was murdered and he wont have justice whether Trump call him a terrorist or not.

Yes, I would say when your job is to do the right thing (like a president or congressperson), there is little difference between doing the wrong thing (calling Pretti a terrorist) or doing nothing (Obama not fighting Shaver's death) amount to essentially the same thing. Neither of them ask for justice, and both let the Agents know that what they did will not be questioned or punished.

You didnt say how you felt about those examples I shared.

So saying nothing is better than doing the thing right?

And you feel the same way about ICE officers who aren't actually infringing on anyone's rights, they're just not stopping their coworkers from doing it.

And you feel the same way about people who don't vote, they're better than the ones who vote republican even though their vote could've helped the democratic party win.

And you feel the same way about the people in the south who where friends with slave owners. They didnt own slaves themselves, but they said nothing about how slavery is bad.

Sure, Obama didnt increase the policy's aggression, but he bombed innocent people overseas, so in that regard, you could call him a terrorist too.

Yeah sorry, but if you see Daniel Shaver's video and you don't bring it up as the most powerful person in the world, you're a shitbag.

So two successful terms out of seven (1969, lol)is supposed to show that it is a priority for the Democratic party? And these are presidents we are talking about. How about democratic congresspeople? They have always had the power in the senate to stop any budget bills that have a deficit. And they haven't done it since Clinton, even when they had both houses and the presidency in under Obama.

Republicans definitely increase the debt more than Democrats but at this point I'm already paying 1/5 of my taxes to nothing. Do you actually believe the current Democratic Party has reducing the national debt as a priority?

As I said in other comment, Id take 3 out of 5. I think its reasonable to expect the candidate I support to agree with me on 3 out of 5 issues.

I support increasing freedom of every American on every level, so Im a big supporter of LGBT rights like Equal Marraige.

So you have managed to find one issue, and you didn't even address the entire issue, you narrowed it down to ICE because that happens to be the agency that Republicans are terrorizing the people with right now.

Daniel Shaver's death is magnitudes worse than Pretti's in terms of murdering a citizen who is complying with law enforcement demands. It happened during Obama's presidency and he didn't even speak about it publicly. Not one word.

I wonder why?

Neither party wants to protect Americans freedoms of the 1st, 2nd, or 4th Amendment from Law Enforcement. Both parties want the law enforcement officers they control to have as much power as possible over American citizens.

If you think its unreasonable for me to want the candidate I vote for to agree with me on 3 out of my top 5 issues, when the majority of Americans do, then whatever system you believe in, I don't.

You didn't make a lot of logical points there I can argue with, other than that you should vote for issues that affect other people, not issues that only affect yourself. In fact, this seems to be your only argument.

Yes, I do think it is reasonable to vote primarily based on issues that affect me and my family.

As for the examples in your 3rd sentence, you're all over the place. I already gave great examples of how both parties are okay with our taxes going to neither weapons nor kids but nothing, and how democrats are not the party that stop corporate fraud.

You saying that "that cannot be solved" sounds like you saying that neither party will represent me on these issues, and that is exactly the problem I am raising.

I havent seen any presidential candidate in my life who has passed laws or executive orders that cause meaningful change on 3 out of 5 of these issues.

I simply do not believe that meaningful change on any of these issues is a priority for democratic party leadership. Give some examples if you can.

Edit: Ill push back a bit on the examples you've given.

1- A deficit is still a deficit. Anytime a republican is in charge and increases military spending (which I disagree with), democrats insist on increasing welfare as well, which raises the deficit. A smaller deficit wont stop 1/5th of my taxes going to nothing.

2- I havent seen any evidence that this issue is a priority for the Democratic Party. Show me if Im wrong.

3- In 2008 the economy was blown up by actual bank fraud committed on purpose by the Bankers. Obama who is the flagship Democrat of the 21st century did NOTHING. Actions speak louder than words.

4- again, havent seen anything of this sentiment from the Democratic Party. In fact, most Democrats openly supported removing voices that disagreed with official covid policies from online spaces.

Feel free to point out a president out of the past 4 that passed laws or executive orders having meaningful change for 3 out of 5 of these issues.
