The polls are suggesting a huge shift in the electorate. Are they right? | Politico
  • You have every reason to believe he was and is trying to overthrow the government, but you are deliberately ignoring them.

    your interpretation of his intentions cannot supercede his authority over his intentions. he solely knows what he meant and what he believes, and no evidence can subvert his own claims.

    consider: what evidence can you produce about whether he thought he was trying to over throw the government that, if disputed by him, would not immediately fall flat? even if you could produce a letter signed by him at the moment claiming exactly what you do, if he made a claim now disavowing it and saying he nevermeant it, that letter would not prove his intention.

  • it's my reading that you think facts are incontrivertible, but, actually, they are claims that can be proven or disproven. therefore some facts are false.

  • right. i have no reason to believe he believes he was trying to overthrow the government nor that he was planning to end democracy.

  • Hillary Clinton tells voters to 'get over yourself' when it comes to Biden-Trump rematch
  • your argument supposes they believe that. you literally said that's a premise.

  • Joe Biden "drives me crazy"—Former Obama strategist David Axelrod
  • i've seen explications before, but i'm open to the possibility that you have a novel theory that is testable, falsifiable, and valid.

  • No one in the government should say “I’m going to dictate policy that I have control over, but this policy can be overturned by the other two branches. Thus, I’m a dictator.” That’s not what that word means. You are trying to use a nonspecific definition out of context to justify defending a wannabe dictator.

    i'm not defending a wannabe dictator. i'm explicitly saying i think trump's stupid, and i don't believe he meant "dictator" in the same sense that you insist he must have meant it.

  • These are not my “pet definitions” but accepted definitions of what a dictator/dictatorship is in the political sphere. It’s called context.

    can you substantiate this claim, that governing by dictate is not an accepted definition"in the political sphere". while we're on it, what do you define as "the political sphere"?

  • i think he's a dummy, and he may be operating on my folksy definition of "dictator". my assumption is just as valid as yours.

    so it's dumb to say it that way, but i don't believe he ever said he's planning to "end democracy" or even meant to imply that.

  • Both abstaining from vot8ng and voting third party are mathematically equivalent to voting for a capitalist

    no, they're not. calling your storytelling "math" doesn't change its veracity.

  • That’s not what a dictatorship is. A dictatorship is where one person (the dictator) has almost complete control over the government with few, if any, restrictions.

    they are literally creating policy by dictate. your pet definition seems crafted to exclude this obvious use of dictate.

  • The polls are suggesting a huge shift in the electorate. Are they right? | Politico
  • To link executive orders to a dictatorship shows a misunderstanding of executive orders, dictatorships, or both.

    Also, in the quote of being a “dictator for just one day,” executive orders were not mentioned

    no one is accusing trump of being a knowledgeable statesman.

  • Hillary Clinton tells voters to 'get over yourself' when it comes to Biden-Trump rematch
  • people argue if Biden made material compromises with leftists and progressives then moderates and liberals wouldn’t vote for him.

    they didn't say they believe this

  • Joe Biden "drives me crazy"—Former Obama strategist David Axelrod
  • I'm a leftist and I don't vote for capitalists or war criminals.

  • The polls are suggesting a huge shift in the electorate. Are they right? | Politico
  • with the rise of executive power from executive orders, every president is a dictator say one, rolling back previous administration policy and implementing their own.
