I'm sympathetic, but stooping to childish words lowers the quality of your argument. Your statement would have been more effective by just saying "Desantis" and "four years of Trump".
- usrn 5y agoThis is HN now. And of course only one side is allowed to behave like children while the other is just silenced.
- eatonphil 5y agoI don't understand why you'd say that in response to a 2nd-party person calling out the 1st-party rather than in response to the 1st-party person themselves. i.e. me calling them out despite (I'm guessing) likely agreeing with their general politics is the opposite of "allowed to behave like children".
- usrn 5y agoI'm agreeing with you.
- eatonphil 5y agoAh! Then I don't understand what group you are insinuating is silenced on HN.
- usrn 5y agoIt's possible to disagree with someone politically while simultaneously complaining about how poorly people are communicating. I'm not part of an enemy tribe, I'm in the same situation you are trying to sort everything out.

- unclenoriega 5y agoWhen communicating, one must also consider one's audience in order to be effective.
- abduhl 5y agoGP isn't interested in communicating. They are pandering. You can tell by the coded language: "orange" "45" "owned da libz" "uneducated" etc. It's more important to GP to score points and signal that they are part of team blue and (big E) "Engaged" than to communicate, actually engage in a discussion, or even (ironically) think critically or be correct about their statements. GP is so busy calling republicans stupid and talking about how they vote against their interests that it never even occurred to GP that this may actually be a carefully crafted plan that actually targets left leaning counties nearly exclusively. In other words, Republicans may actually have "owned da libz" in this situation but GP is hilariously incapable of seeing it due to their disdain for the other side.
- johnny22 5y agonot sure what the problem is with 45 though. I hear obama called by his order number sometimes and it didn't seem like it was meant negatively.
