    Classic ad hominem. Easier to mock the messenger than deal with the message, I guess.

        Yes you are. Instead of engaging with the content of my argument, you’re attempting to discredit it by implying I’m parroting a biased media outlet - suggesting my view is invalid not because of its reasoning, but because of its supposed origin or alignment. It’s a bad faith logical fallacy meant to undermine credibility without addressing the substance.

          To be fair. Corporate media also pushes narratives whether they are true or not, much like your made up point

            Then engage with the discussion??? It’s very frustrating reading your comments actively shutting down discourse.

            Here I’ll do it for you: I disagree with @opinionhaver because I think that filling stadiums in red and swing states is a tangible metric that is at least correlated with general election support. I think that Trump is even more polarizing than AOC, and so her polarization isn’t as much of an issue as they make it out to be.

            There. Now we find out how substantial their position is when they defend it, instead of just crying about talking points

              Repeating incorrect and intentionally obtuse cable news talking points is more disingenuous and misleading than anything I’ve posted. Hate to break it to ya

              I’m not going to engage with lies especially when the commenters don’t even realize they are lying by repeating the cable news talking points

              So… no… I’m not going to do as you suggest because I refute your framing
