      Why is it they so many of you can’t ever debate a topic without telling someone who they are, what they do, or what they think?

      Nothing at all about what you said is remotely accurate. And your little ‘what if’ scenario is laughably ignorant and meritless.

      The next time, maybe try having an argument that carries weight instead of personal attacks and wildly inaccurate assumptions.

      Jesus indeed.

        You mean like how you go around telling people they don’t blame Republicans if they point out something Democrats do?

        I’m not telling you who you are, you are telling me who you are. Tell me how my hypothetical is not appropriate?

        That’s not how debating works. You don’t take my analogy and say “that’s meritless.” You prove it to be meritless.

        See let me spell it out for you like it’s a standardized test.

        In my analogy:

        Burglar :: Republican

        Cops :: Democrats

        Dog :: My trust

        Shooting :: voting against my interest

        Is that clearer for you?

          It’s meritless because it makes assumptions to prove a point.

          And if you look back, YOU jumped into this discussion being defensive as if I was talking to you directly, then you go on to play the victim of shit I didn’t even say.

          If you want to think this is on the democrats because four of them voted along with 216 conservatives that not only voted for it- but drafted it to begin with, be my guest.

          I’m simply asking for the reasoning.

          And since not one fucking person stepped up with any reasoning without personally attacking me for asking- I’m left to think that there really isn’t any reasoning amongst any of you to begin with.

            Reasoning was provided, you seem to be incapable of processing analogies and reasoning. You just did the same thing again. Why is it meritless? Because it’s meritless. You have none of the requirements necessary to even hold a discussion. All you do is circular nonsense.

            Here, let me ask you a very simple question and go from there.

            What is the job of a congressmen? In the simplest terms you can think of.

              I’m not getting into this with you, I asked a simple question, you’re looking for an argument. Nothing I say is going to be acceptable and no attempt to even try and understand is going to be made. So it’s best to end this here.

              You’re free to assume all you’d like about my choice in ending this- but for the record, the reason is just that I’d rather not argue about it.

                Yeah, that’s about what I expected. Discussion and understanding between two parties is a two way street. You’ve provided vague refutations with no specifics. Claimed assumptions without stating what those are. I don’t even know what point you’re trying to make aside from telling people they are wrong for feeling a certain way about something.

                  You expected me to bow out because you’re looking for an argument?

                  Weird.

                    I was expecting you to not answer a single question I asked earnestly with any detail or specificity.
