You're leaving off this part: > The Republicans are blatantly criminal and far far more obstructive and disruptive.

  Lots of criminals have great critical thinking skills. Obstruction and disruption are strategies that might be employed by people with great critical thinking skills to achieve their goals. Ironically, perhaps, I think you've misread his comment, and mine, and overextended your own argument.

    Semantics aside, you're missing the point of my post which is that neither party can claim moral superiority and believing that doesn't mean one is lacking critical thinking skills. They are indeed equivalent from that perspective.

      I'm not missing anything at all. I commented solely to make the observation that you put words in the mouth of the commenter you originally replied to, which is way beyond semantics.

        I strongly disagree, but I don't think there's a point in discussing this further.

          You disagree with what? Can you accept that I'm not interested in debating your Radically Centrist™ viewpoint and simply clarify your meaning in accusing him of harboring the opinion that Republicans lack critical thinking skills, if you're so sure you didn't put words in his mouth? I can see how one might interpret your words that I originally quoted in a different way, but it leads down a whole other rabbit hole of self-contradiction. And, yes, maybe now we are getting into semantics, but if you disagree with me then you should be prepared to articulate why.
