They either believe Jill Stein will actually win ... Or... they have looked at the difference and decided that it isn’t much

this is still putting words in their mouths. it's not good-faith engagement.

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

No, that's reality.

The other case I also pointed out is they might be unaware of the facts. You are engaging in bad faith by misrepresenting my words to form a what you think is a strawman to argue against.

[-] PeggyLouBaldwin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

No, that’s reality.

stating your perspective about it doesn't make it reality. you need to actually listen to what people say, and if you think it's unrealistic, then you can say you think it's unrealistic, but you can't just assert that they can't possibly have any other motivations.

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

You didn't actually listen to what I said, you in fact deliberately and in bad faith edited out parts so that you could argue against what you want to argue against.

You have been stating your perspective all along that it is bad faith, asserting that there are no other motivations. You didn't actually listen to what I had to say, you just asserted a position.

I don't think you are taking this seriously. You are certainly picking and choosing which rules apply to whom. Why are we engaging at all?

[-] PeggyLouBaldwin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Why are we engaging at all?

because i objected to your bad faith characterization of another user's comments.

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Please consider being honest about your bad faith characterization of my position, with respect to your own AI definition.

[-] PeggyLouBaldwin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

surely you can understand that the ai was not giving a complete definition, and you don't need to know that you are being dishonest in order to be engaging in bad faith. simply accusing others of lying about their own position is, itself, bad faith.

edit:

you seem to be alright with going along with copilot. when i asked

if someone tells me they're voting for jill stein, can i say it's because they either don't understand that she can't win or they don't care who the real winner is? is it bad faith to assume a motivation like that?

it said

Characterizing someone’s vote as either a lack of understanding or indifference to the outcome without knowing their personal reasons could be considered an assumption made in bad faith. It suggests a negative judgment about their decision-making process without evidence.

In discussions, especially political ones, it’s important to approach others’ choices with an open mind and avoid making assumptions about their motivations. It’s more constructive and in good faith to ask questions and listen to their reasons for voting a certain way. This fosters a respectful exchange and understanding, rather than attributing motives that may not be accurate or fair.

You didn’t actually listen to what I said, you in fact deliberately and in bad faith edited out parts so that you could argue against what you want to argue against.

i made your position more succinct. you provided two options and said they were the only possible explanations, then said "that's reality". you constructed a false dichotomy. there was no nuance to your comment that would have undermined this construction of your argument. your assumption of other peoples beliefs and motivations is a bad faith approach altogether.

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

No, you didn't. It's frustrating that you claim to be interested in intellectual integrity. You deliberately omitted or failed to read parts that you now claim have fulfilled your mission of honest discussion. You accused me of bad faith when the Copilot definition you wish to use explicitly says there must be intent. You claim to be in favor of honest and good faith discussion, but have only been interested in applying your rules to the parts of the discussion you don't like.

Anyway. We've probably wasted enough time talking past each other today. Good luck out there.

[-] PeggyLouBaldwin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

have a nice day

[-] PeggyLouBaldwin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

i asked copilot to weigh in on this. i have edited it for brevity (there was a lot of boiler-plate), but this is the last half or so completely unedited:

Whether or not someone is engaging in bad faith would depend on their intent and whether they genuinely believe in their arguments or are purposefully distorting the discussion.

It’s important to approach such discussions with the aim of understanding and addressing the actual points being made, rather than attributing motives or misrepresenting positions. This fosters a more productive dialogue and helps avoid the pitfalls of bad faith arguments and logical fallacies. If you feel the discussion is not progressing constructively, it may be beneficial to step back and reassess the approach to ensure a good faith exchange of ideas.

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks, Copilot. Can Copilot explain the other possible positions beyond "doesn't understand she won't win" and "doesn't believe or is unaware there is a difference between the two who will win?" You are not providing other options, maybe Copilot could explain it to me.

[-] PeggyLouBaldwin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

well i am not interested in getting bogged down in defending any particular motivation, i'm only trying to keep the conversation intellectually honest. it seems that you understand, now, that there might be other motivations, and as such that your previous accusations were in fact bad faith.

[-] PeggyLouBaldwin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

You are engaging in bad faith by misrepresenting my words to form a what you think is a strawman to argue against.

what straw man?
