~~I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or a colossal idiot who learned nothing from the satirical article about the fact that the people you're deflecting blame off of learning nothing.~~
~~If it's the former, well done I guess? ๐คท~~
If it's the latter, please wake the fuck up and smell the malignant incompetence.
Edit: just realized that you're the "Hillary 2016 was further left than Obama 2008" weirdo, so it's DEFINITELY the latter. Please abandon your ridiculous pet hypothesis and get a fucking clue.
Strawman
Ad hom
Nope, you literally keep arguing that Hillary lost because she went left and Obama won because he didn't. Accurately restating your nonsense is not a strawman.
As for ad hominem, that's a nope too. An ad hominem fallacy is when you try to dismiss an argument by insulting the person rather than the context of the argument.
In this case, I'm adding an accurately descriptive insult as an observation after dismissing your argument based on one of many examples of how ridiculous the argument itself is. Which is not an ad hominem.
You, logic, and language don't seem to be on the best of terms..
You rely on bad readings and insults, so fallacies through and through.
Wrong again, but being confidently wrong is your comfort zone, so it's hardly surprising ๐คท
See? Peace.
As a non-American I wanna ask: Is the American left blaming Harris and the DNC for this or is it all "Americans are so sexist" and "leftists suck" nonsense like I'm seeing here? Idk where to get this information and I wanna know if I get to have some faith in humanity.
It's all of the above, really. The Left (actual left, rather than the center right to right wing Democrats in charge of the party) is blaming the DNC, Harris, racism, sexism, the billionaire-owned media, the antiquated political system, and of course the people who voted for fascism. Because all of those things contributed meaningfully to the baffling and tragic result.
Meanwhile, the DNC and their most diehard supporters blame racism, sexism, and most of all the Left.
They obstinately refuse to acknowledge that their "team" fucked up, so they're blaming the people whose warnings they refused to listen to.
