    I should clarify: laws that have actually passed.

    Yes, when writing lengthy posts arguing semantics you should be clear and specify what you’re talking about.

    You meant what you said, you just assumed and were called out.

      You play more hopscotch with reading than my daughter at the playground, lol.

      Even if I did, it changes fundamentally nothing about the overarching conclusion. This isn’t the gotcha you seem to believe it is. So says Confucius, when the wise man points at the moon, the fool looks at the finger.

      Quit looking at pixels; look at the big picture.

        You’re clearly the bad faith poster here.

            Please do not be abusive and personally attack posters rather than their beliefs.

            This is an obvious sign of “my team” rather than logical thought.

              There’s nothing more to discuss, good sir. My arguments remain unchallenged. Like I said, I’m simply playing with the food that is this rhetorical discussion and referencing famous applicable adages. Sorry if you misconstrue this as attacks on the person. Certainly not my intention! I promise I’ll refrain from such ad hominems!

              This is an obvious sign of “my team” rather than logical thought.

              You can make this argument once you respond to >80% of my points that were deflected.

              Anyways, I’m pretty happy because my initial comment was heavily up-voted. I already won long ago.

                You’re posting a popular opinion in an online echo chamber and taking a victory lap over up votes?

                I can make the opposite post on a right wing site and get more up votes, that doesn’t make it more valid or a “win”.

                  Your attempt to wedge-drive fell on better-informed ears here and only reinvigorated the existing population here to turn out for BIden. Your objective failed spectacularly. Better luck next time.

                    I’m sure you will spark the change you desperately seek in the world by being belligerent to other people in a meme community.

      You’re already in the thick of it but this guy is peak debatelord, he is really not worth engaging unless you feel like counting arguments like they’re points in a game.

        Having actual, valid points instead of just vibes and twitter quips is debatelord?

          A debatelord is someone who treats every conversation as if it’s debate club, and says shit like:

          You can make this argument once you respond to >80% of my points that were deflected.

          There’s nothing more to discuss, good sir. My arguments remain unchallenged.

        Yeah you’re right. I saw one of their bulleted posts that seemed genuine at first glance but the more we talk the more they expose their focus on “winning” rather than being realistic or truthful.
