Re: Democratic Challengers: Starting this thread to Own The Libs!
I would only give him grief if he didnt change his attitude. Sorry but he brought a lot of the grief he got on himself with his standoffishness and his "you are a moron my way is the best" posting style. That is why he and Rover make such a cute couple
Part of being a good salesperson is not insulting your customer. If he had already changed to your opinion there would be no need to convince him.
And frankly, if the issue is dickishness in expression of opinion, neither you nor I are permitted to every speak again.
If trix says, "I think Biden is as bad as Dump," then we say, "here are the demonstrably terrible things Dump has done and will continue to do. What evidence is there that Biden would either continue them or do things of equal horror?"
If trix says, "a half measure that masks the symptoms is worse than the disease galloping quickly to its conclusion in the only remedy, revolution," then we say "I don't agree and let me use covid as an illustration."
The point is, it
should not matter how dickish he is -- the point here is not to make kissy kissy, it's to kill Nazis. We should have good answers. If he insults us we should respond with facts. It's an argument, not dating. It's nothing personal, Sonny. It's just business.
And remember that Bernie supporters have been the target of full scale derision and personal attacks here. This isn't "I wasn't doing anything officer and then suddenly this guy started wailing on me." This has been *** for tat. Also, you can't say *** for tat here.
Let's take it as read that dumb behavior is dumb and personal attacks are bad and those who have used them have God to answer to. Let's assume all scores have been settled.
Now let's win.
