Attempting to be diet-Republican won't convince people to go for them instead of the full sugar version. This is literally what they keep trying, and it doesn't work.
- damnitbuilds 1y agoYou think the center is diet-Republican ? And the way to get more votes is to be more extreme ? There's the problem, right there.
- alabastervlog 1y ago> And the way to get more votes is to be more extreme ? You're doing an awful lot of stuff along the lines of "so you're saying BAD is actually good?" in this thread (not just with me), and it's not really a good way to have a discussion. It's good for arguing over, essentially, nothing.
- damnitbuilds 1y agoI am questioning your assertion that moving from the center is the way to win votes, and asking a question that highlights how ridiculous it is. That is a perfectly normal way to discuss something. Going meta is not.

- anigbrowl 1y agoYou're sealioning while treating your own assertions as facts. It's an unedifying spectacle.
