    Precisely.

    Any group you don’t belong to is irrational and devoid of any logic whatsoever, not to mention WRONG.

    Pesky moderates, they are insane just like the extremist, everybody is 100% a basket case except for me and you.

      Nah, it’s actually pretty simple.

      Logical consistency - good

      Defending someone no matter what they do because they’re on you’re “team” - bad

      Does it make sense to you now?

      It also seems like you’ve fallen into the trap of thinking the best position is always “in the middle” because you think a compromise is good just for the sake of compromise.

      Like, do you think Jeffery Dahmer would have been all right if he only killed half the people he wanted to?

        I wish we could get the 49% that vote Democrat no matter what to consider this and vote Green instead.

        No shit logical consistency is good and irrational behaviour is bad. Glad we agree.

        The thing is, who’s the judge on who is irrational and who is logic? It’s such a polarised society that we live in nowadays, whoever you ask will say that their faction is the only logical one while the “other” is a bunch of marauding orcs.

        Now this guy I replied to went and did the same trite “us logic, them stupid” take, accusing moderate people of some bad stuff as if that word meant anything, as if there was a “moderate” party that did anything concrete

        Not just that, when polarisation is gutting our democracy, this guy attacks moderates as if extremism was the only orthodoxy. Loony bin material.

        Far from me to be a both-side-er, I have my firm and very partisan convictions - but that has nothing to do with how silly the comment I replied to was.

          Do you not know I’m the same person?

          Or were you attempting to phrase those personal insults in a way that wouldn’t violate the rules by using bad grammar?

            I can’t see the whole thread while replying so I can’t assume I’m talking to the same person as the time before, hence the third person. If that was always you then feel free to replace it with a second, as it was meant to be.

            There were no personal insults. Your post was silly. You may be a very nice person and probably very smart as well, but your post was still silly. There, second person used.

            What you said made zero sense, had no connection to reality, and was strongly reinforcing the cancer of contemporary democracy that is polarisation. Your content - not you - is very very bad.

            There is nothing wrong with it, everybody says stupid stuff from time to time - I do it too according to the amount of downvotes I got - but I take none of the disagreements with my contents as attacks on my person. I would encourage you to do the same.

      There’s nothing moderate about making hundreds of billions, on top of the trillion you already budgeted, appear out of thin air for more war and just completely ignoring the people you’re expecting to vote to reelect you.

        Don’t complain to me, I’m not the one who talked shit about “moderates” as if that meant anybody in particular - especially opposing them to republicans
