Not the guy you’re discussing with, but on this rare occasion I’ll toot my own horn for once: If only the average American were as intelligent — or at least informed — as me. Unfortunately one must get on their level, sometimes. Besides, having a logical platform and having the charismatic youthful platform are not mutually-exclusive things.
Welcome to America, where everything from high school to your career prospects is basically a popularity contest as opposed to a formal job interview based on legitimate experience and qualifications.
They who can thread the needle between populism and substantive policy win.
I’m just happy Donald is the nominee again because I don’t think Biden could’ve beat anyone else.
Well you’re just the original guy that tried the senile bit.
What I see throughout this site is these supposed leftists who say they are so well informed, and so well thought, who know all about policies, and what to do, and who think and think and think, and determine that the best course of action is to protest vote. And then they turn around and say “but i want charisma for ma emotions”. Yeah it doesn’t add up.
Oh yeah let me repeat myself to be very clear: I think not voting or a protest vote or a third-party or independent vote is downright stupid. I think anyone suggesting this is either a right-wing operative as it only benefits them, or they’re very naive and likely a newcomer to politics. who also lacks an understanding of risk/reward analytics.
Absolutely, at this point we should all vote for Joe Biden.
All I’m saying is that unfortunately you and I are far-and-above average in terms of political knowledge and civic engagement. Most people lack the depth of understanding to look at things logically and so must go off intuition and emotion as shortcuts. So to some extent, I think a party would be crazy not to put a heavy emphasis on this. Unfortunately it benefits the GOP more because of the nature of their deeply-ignorant and gullible and griftable base.

That’s who I’m talking to on this site.

Repeat? You never said that in the first place. You’re still trying to sneak in this idea that he’s not charismatic, when he basically is.
Yeah you showed who you are in the other reply. Ciao.
Dude:
Yes, repeat. Please, work on reading comprehension.
God why do I bother
You said:
That is not this:
And then you attack. Yeah you showed who you are and I have to stop taking the bait. Ciao.
Yep, those obviously connote the same idea. I would know, since you know, I wrote them. Peace!
