Silly name calling isn't how grownups should discuss politics. If anything, it makes it harder to agree with any point you're trying to make. Edit: I had no id

Silly name calling isn't how grownups should discuss politics. If anything, it makes it harder to agree with any point you're trying to make.
Edit: I had no idea it was controversial to say that name calling makes an argument less convincing.

- codezero 2y agoTrump can’t speak about anyone he opposes without giving them a childish nickname, seems fair to reciprocate. Going further, it appears that the leader of the nation modeling this behavior also normalizes it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nicknames_used_by_Donald_Trump https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nicknames_used_by_Dona...
- ziddoap 2y agoWhile it might be fair, I'm saying that using childish nicknames does no favors if you're trying to make people agree with what your saying. I don't think following Trump's footsteps with tit-for-tat name calling is beneficial to anyone.
- codezero 2y agoWhile I agree with you in spirit, it seems to have worked completely fine for Trump.

- CuriouslyC 2y agoWhat's grown up about people who say they don't care if their candidate murders someone on the white house steps, they'd still vote for him? Insanity needs to be derided.
- ziddoap 2y agoWhat does this have to do with what I said? Name calling is not a way to make a convincing point. That's the entirety of my comment.
- CuriouslyC 2y agoThe point is that making convincing points is the old way. We have a commander in chief that has elevated name calling to the new normal.
