Didymus 34,380 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Just now, LebaneseDude said: I'm sorry but what is your motive behind your recent posts? I'm trying to disarm the volatility because it'll never end and you continue to press me aggressively. I literally asked you to move the conversation forward 'cause you kept nagging about things that I had already explained. Did I or did I not ask you to provide arguments for the main conclusion of this journalist. Did you or did you not refuse because you didn't agree with that conclusion? My motive was to question an interesting but in my view problematic argument about Bernie supporters and black American voters. How in the world does that compare to posting a thread just to put some GGD members on blast? 1 minute ago, LebaneseDude said: Speaking of, why are you stating that Hillary is the only "valid" choice? She isn't. Bernie was. So was O'Malley and Chafee. They all lost the race. Hillary is the clear choice right now for the Democratic party because she's ahead of every count you can think of where it matters. That is the reality. Fail to see it all you want. I couldn't care less. READ, god damn it! "another statement about how [...] Bernie supporters are engaging in self-delusion, unable or unwilling [...] to face "reality", i.e. Hillary being the only valid choice at this point?" That's exactly what I said: Hillary is the only valid choice RIGHT NOW. I am not failing to see that and I have literally repeated in this very thread that I don't take issue with that opinion. This blatant misreading just as a foundation for a personal attack has to stop. 3 minutes ago, LebaneseDude said: I ****ing LOVE how you're berating me for posting this opinion piece while simultaneously defending Susan's right to express her opinion. If you're trying to mock me for being hypocritical, then look at yourself first. Susan's opinion was the one that was posted though. You on the other hand hide behind someone else's opinion (which you, in all absurdity, claim not even to agree with), making an irrelevant OP when really all you want to say has already been said time and time again. That was very different from Redstreak posting a thread that actually had news value: Susan Sarandon made a statement, discuss this statement! That was the message of the thread, the message of this thread, apparently is: "I don't want to discuss the statement, because I don't necessarily agree with it, but I do agree with the idea that Bernie supporters are self-deluded idiots who fail to see reality rn". Zero news value, zero room for an actual discussion (as our pitiful "conversation" shows), zero good intentions = blatant misuse of this section and subsection.

AyaKara 2,282 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Not a fan of this article making sweeping generalizations based off of two guys in a line. Please everyone, just post news. All opinion threads do is lead to useless arguments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
