That's not really an argument, that's an unargued statement of opinion.
- sheepmullet 8y agoIt’s the start of a conversation. Which parts do you disagree with and what evidence would convince you otherwise? You can tell me the political party you support and I can show you how they have strong pro-war elements.
- presscast 8y agoI just want to hear why you think it's true. If you're making a claim, the burden of proof rests upon you, so please tell us what evidence you're considering. If you aren't willing to spell that out, we're not having a meaningful conversation.
- sheepmullet 8y ago> I just want to hear why you think it's true. Like any political opinion it is based upon thousands of observations and arguments over a period of many years. Would it convince you the Democrats are pro-war if I provide evidence of Hillary Clinton being a war hawk? What kind of sources will you trust? Surely if you follow US politics you are aware of the argument already so why don’t we skip the fluff and get into the details? > If you're making a claim, the burden of proof rests upon you Sure - so like I said let’s find our common ground and points of disagreement and we can go from there.
- hellisothers 8y agoLet’s say all that is true, I more or less agree, but it’s where the two parties differ that still matter a lot. It’s nigilistic to say because they’re similar in many ways that they’re the same and it doesn’t matter, for many people, especially the less privileged (referencing the rapist child thieves comment) that it’s important to develop an opinion one way or the other.
