Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) has “been with the Republicans” since Congress returned, after the Michigan Democrat endorsed former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) in the midterms.
“She’s been with the Republicans ever since she’s come back. So she’s been on the Republican side of the aisle,” Ocasio-Cortez said during an appearance on “The Don Lemon Show” that aired Thursday.
“This is just the epitome of a certain kind of transactional politics,” she added. “And it’s really sad.”
Aye, that I was. I like arguing and a dialogue is simply are an argument where I don’t start throwing profanities around like a fish hawker.
The rest of us just call that sort of adversarial, bad-faith bullshit “trolling”
Key difference here is that I don’t go in with bad faith, sure I’ll act like an ass if the other person pisses me off enough but that’s a post hoc factor. Frankly IMO I I fail to sufficiently make my point more times than not with the only real saving factor being that I don’t care about winning or losing and simply wish to argue until one of us gets pissed and the whole thing implodes on itself. I once got into a 6 hour long argument with one of my friends over the core causes of WW1, it ended when we were both told to shut the hell up when a third friend joined the call.
😂
Thats not what trolling is.
If you think dialogue is the same thing as adversarial bad-faith trolling, then you might be the troll…
Straw man
Really? I know what a straw man is. Let’s look at the comment chain
Yeah no, that’s pretty definitively the user was calling dialogue “trolling,” which is exactly what I called them out on. In other words, not a straw man.
