    there’s no such thing as a bad guy and all bad ideas are easily dismissed as “campaign rhetoric”

    I don’t know… like I didn’t say this. This is so obviously a strawman that I don’t think it warrants any more explanation, unless you can explain how what I said amounts to this.

    Such a bad faith first impression doesn’t encourage me to share more, thanks anyway.

      I’m sorry, the argument you laid out is spurious and nonsensical. I did the best I could to understand it but it really does seem like something that would apply to literally any subject based on some unstated preference. Did you mean to say something other than “campaign rhetoric therefore obvious lie because it’s impossible for campaigns to be honest”?

        How is it spurious and nonsensical? If you can explain that, then you have something more than a strawman, but so far you don’t.

        And I could reiterate what I’ve obviously already said, but I would just be repeating myself. I don’t know where your misunderstanding roots from because you’re not explaining yourself, so I don’t know how to help you.
