I doubt uncle thomas could survive anything more than sustained masturbation, for instance.

“force your opinion out of you over an hours long conversation like a normal friendly person”

time for some self reflection there, baroque

i happen to agree with you too, as would i think anyone who has spent time in an american projects or shelter system, but youve so thoroughly poisoned the argument i cant take it up here.

It’s not that they’re indifferent- not that they don’t care. It’s punishment. Anything to make their lives worse is a good thing. The prisoners “deserve” this treatment. Also, they’re slaves and have no real standing to challenge the treatment under the law (source: vibes).

Wait, so we’re fighting homelessness by checks notes just giving people homes?! That’s cheating! They’re just gaming the statistics!

No way, there’s not a chance this is true. The man occupies one of the most prestigious seats of power in the nation. You really think we’d elect some sort of corrupt traitor to the position? The allegations are so petty- even if he were corrupt, do you really think he’d sell himself so fucking cheap? Come on. Next you’ll be telling me he’s some sort of a sex pest, too.

i cant find another example of this sort of endorsement in a brief glance at google, which is not to say it hasnt happened before.

just because it is not traditional doesnt mean it’s stupid. can you find another example of an american party switching presidential candidates at the last minute? it is as much as saying he doesnt endorse either, or that he’ll support the winner. it would be stupid if he was a normal person running a normal campaign, but hes not. hes a wannabe dictator who depends on doublespeak and confusion and lies and contradiction and insult. it works for him because the people who vote for him are stupid. it is smart to take advantage of stupidity. trump is playing both sides, so he always comes out on top.

you know what is stupid? spending any amount of time at all talking about this fucking nothing burger. the man lead a coup. he ignored a pandemic because it was politically expedient to do so at the time. his mental calculus is not the same as yours or mine, it doesnt include morality or longer term planning than the next immediate personal objective. he rapes children and you wanna complain to me (in all unimaginative ignorance) that its stupid that he endorsed two candidates for the same race.

i will give you props for actually replying instead of dropping a kneejerk hivemind disagreement downvote to fortify the opinion you came in with.

Snapping out of it was all I wanted. This is nothing, even if I agree it is idiotic. There are much more important things to be talking about.

That said, since you invited me to have the last word and because I enjoy having the last word: Contrived? Bruh. The salt and pepper was contrived, yes, as an underhand toss to get the idea of non-exclusion in without political charge. The other examples were specifically not contrived. Non-specific examples of the exact thing being examined. C’mon.

I invite you to find a definition of those which supports your position.

There’s nothing about “complete” or “total” that implies exclusivity. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, he was bound to stumble into a logically consistent position eventually.

you have my permission to criticize whomever you wish, even for bad reasons. i will allow this.

It is usual for endorsements to be exclusive but that condition is not a requirement. There are good reasons to criticize that bloated party clown. This is not one of them.
