2019-2020 US Election Megathread III: Biden VS Biden

[Cannot think of a name]

He didn't say they were communists though, he said they were extremists. And the feasibility of a policy doesn't really effect how extreme it is.

If policy is feasible and doesn't harm human rights or cause huge chaos inherently as a policy, it's not extreme.

Now you did it...

Nice opinion.

[Telconi]

Fine, what is extreme then?

Whatever someone thinks it is.

sounds extreme to me tbqh

[Telconi]

Whatever someone thinks it is.

Then you've basically destroyed the credibility of the GOP's arguments.

And everyone else's.

[Telconi]

And everyone else's.

Not when you focus on what works. Actual policy, not pathetic rhetoric.

Lots of things "work"

[Dresderstan]

Lots of things "work"

Ok, what works and improves people's lives, most people's, and Democrats's policies generally do that.
While Republicans...Look at their track record since Reagan.

How about actually explain your policies.

Well if "Improves people's lives" is a requirement, you just uh... "destroyed the credibility of the Democrat's arguments". Did I get that right?

No, look at the economic policies, compared to Dems, the Republicans fail utterly and the rich get richer. I mean, look at the numbers, and the historical economic concepts beyond the Wealth of Nations, and compare it to the rest of the world economically and you'll see why no other country is on the GOP's side economically.

Is increased wealth the only measure of quality of life?

[Telconi]

By the global standards, Republicans fail to increase quality of life, Democrats succeed, generally.

Nobody gives a shit about your "global standards" they're not relevant.

Y'know, sticking your head in the sand and pretending that other nations don't have it better than you do and that you're the #1 all time best is exactly the same thing North Korea does iirc.

[Dresderstan]

Yes they are because that's how humanity judges quality of life, your "nuh-uhhhh" isn't an argument it's just pathetic childish sticking out your tongue and covering your ears and yelling "nah-nah-nah I caan't hear you! There is no war in Ba-Sing-Se!"

As if you speak for all of humanity.

Pot, meet kettle.

Your inability to grasp the concept of an opinion isn't my problem.

Come up with your own argument instead of relying on the backs of someone else, or admit your hypocrisy.

[Dresderstan]

Your inability to grasp the concept of an opinion isn't my problem.

...But scholars have detailed a equation for quality of life, so you're not denying opinions you're denying facts. Jesus Christ, stop being so dense.

Receipts, show them.

The irony of this post is palpable.

"If someone disagrees with me they're literally North Korea!" pretty much is the extent of Lotharia's argument too.

Oh, people think they can debate with a bad faith shitposter now?

Wait, does this mean...

I'm using the world's standards as a basis myself.
No, it shows that most Republicans are extremists, in a sense, at least compared to the rest of the world, in the views, far-right compared to most.

So calling Democrats radical-left is factually incorrect.

They're radicals compared to me. That is factually correct. Rather they're radicals compared to any other person, or group of people, is entirely irrelevant.

... that if someone disagrees with you, then they're "extreme?" You really shouldn't project so transparently.

Extremism isn't the same as lying.

Of course it is. Extremism is whatever one believes it to be after all

You truly don't think people can disagree with you legitimately?

Is increased wealth the only measure of quality of life?

It's strongly associated with wealth, yes, since most of the things that improve quality of life cost money. However cost of living is also a factor, which is something Eternal Lotharia overlooks(being very generous here and pretending he actually looked at the numbers) While it's true democrat controlled areas tend to have higher income they also tend to have higher a high cost of living for a given quality of life, with the effect that people in republican areas tend to be richer in terms of purchasing power even though they have less money. https://www.forbes.com/sites/timworstal ... ba10051d60

Additionally when comparing Republican and Democrat policies it's important to compare them not as a snapshot, but to also look at trends. Both economic and political. It's true, again, that blue states, like California, Connecticut, tend to have stronger economies then red states, like like Texas or Idaho. But when you look at the economic outlook it show quit a different picture, Connecticut and California are in decline while Texas and Idaho are in upsurge. Why? Because the parties switched control of these states some time ago an have been slowly changing policies to suit them. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opin ... ok-in-2018
