    You mean like how you go around telling people they don’t blame Republicans if they point out something Democrats do?

    I’m not telling you who you are, you are telling me who you are. Tell me how my hypothetical is not appropriate?

    That’s not how debating works. You don’t take my analogy and say “that’s meritless.” You prove it to be meritless.

    See let me spell it out for you like it’s a standardized test.

    In my analogy:

    Burglar :: Republican

    Cops :: Democrats

    Dog :: My trust

    Shooting :: voting against my interest

    Is that clearer for you?

      It’s meritless because it makes assumptions to prove a point.

      And if you look back, YOU jumped into this discussion being defensive as if I was talking to you directly, then you go on to play the victim of shit I didn’t even say.

      If you want to think this is on the democrats because four of them voted along with 216 conservatives that not only voted for it- but drafted it to begin with, be my guest.

      I’m simply asking for the reasoning.

      And since not one fucking person stepped up with any reasoning without personally attacking me for asking- I’m left to think that there really isn’t any reasoning amongst any of you to begin with.

        Reasoning was provided, you seem to be incapable of processing analogies and reasoning. You just did the same thing again. Why is it meritless? Because it’s meritless. You have none of the requirements necessary to even hold a discussion. All you do is circular nonsense.

        Here, let me ask you a very simple question and go from there.

        What is the job of a congressmen? In the simplest terms you can think of.

          I’m not getting into this with you, I asked a simple question, you’re looking for an argument. Nothing I say is going to be acceptable and no attempt to even try and understand is going to be made. So it’s best to end this here.

          You’re free to assume all you’d like about my choice in ending this- but for the record, the reason is just that I’d rather not argue about it.

            Yeah, that’s about what I expected. Discussion and understanding between two parties is a two way street. You’ve provided vague refutations with no specifics. Claimed assumptions without stating what those are. I don’t even know what point you’re trying to make aside from telling people they are wrong for feeling a certain way about something.

              You expected me to bow out because you’re looking for an argument?

              Weird.

                I was expecting you to not answer a single question I asked earnestly with any detail or specificity.

                  Well, if your expectations are based on previous situations where you entered a discussion that wasn’t directed at you and you acted with a similar defensive aggression, I suppose I can see how you’d have predicted my reluctance to discuss anything with you.

                  Learn how to talk to people that you disagree with. It’s a very valuable life skill.

                    Oh forgive me for participating in a public conversation, I didn’t realize I hacked into your DM’s between you and that fellow. Thanks for moving the goal posts though. Maybe you should have just said that in your first reply.

                    You’re totally right though, I’m the defensive one. Your not displaying classic projection or anything of that sort. Yet you keep responding here despite STILL refusing to answer a single question that’s been asked of you.

                    Here’s what it felt like conversing with you thus far.

                    “You’re wrong.”

                    “Why?”

                    “Because you’re wrong, stop talking to meeeee!”

                    “Can I have some reasons why you think I’m wrong?”

                    “Because you’re wrong! What part didn’t you understand?!”

                    “Can you give me specifics?”

                    “Reeeeee! I’m not talking to you!”

                    But you are. You’re just not saying anything.
