- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

I hate to be in the position of defending any politician, but we have evidence that trump will leave office: he's done it before. by contrast, we have never seen Biden give up the presidency.
LOL, dude, he started a fucking insurrection. By contrast, we have Joe Biden leaving the vice presidency without a peep when his term ended and going back into private life.
If you think Joe Biden is a wanton dictator and Trump is the democracy guy I genuinely don't know if you do think at all.
>LOL
this smacks of an appeal to ridicule
I'm not some formal argumentation autobot and last I checked my lemmy threads aren't a part of Plato's Symposium...so if you want to hunt for logical fallacies in every LOL feel free to waste your time...you appear to have a lot of it available to waste.
this is pure appeal to ridicule. it doesn't address the truth of anything that I've said and doesn't support anything that you've said.
and your reply here is pure clueless weirdo that has no ability to comprehend what they read and has no sense of futility
given that you think that biden is trying to become a dictator and trump is a reliable steward of democracy and the constitution...I'd say that all tracks.
>and your reply here is pure clueless weirdo that has no ability to comprehend what they read and has no sense of futility
your insults don't bolster your credibility or undermine mine.
Your inability to properly quote things is demonstrative of how clueless you are.
your inability to understand software compatibility between mastodon and lemmy is a demonstration of something. your reaction to my use of common conventions only shows a savviness you don't possess.
>you think that biden is trying to become a dictator and trump is a reliable steward of democracy and the constitution
this is a strawman
Congrats, you're my first block!
oh, but you're not mine!
> If you think Joe Biden is a wanton dictator and Trump is the democracy guy I genuinely don’t know if you do think at all.
I think they're both authoritarian politicians.
Nah, they aren't.
yeah well that's just like your opinion man
>he started a fucking insurrection
I don't think so. the breach of the capitol happened while he was still speaking a mile away. again, I hate being in the position of defending politicians but I am trying to deal with facts here which are in direct conflict with your accusations.
Dude, if you think that the breach of the capitol happened randomly despite the fact that he gathered the crowd, told them to fight like hell, tried to get his presidential motorcade down there, didn't call in anyone federally to deal with the threat, and told the crowd to march down to the capitol. I don't know what to tell you. You're not a serious person.
He said he loved the people who broke into the capitol. They were flying his flag. The lady who was shot and killed came straight from the speech to the capitol.
