Your thing where you tilt at strawmen is really getting unhinged. You need to take a break, you're not making any sense.

On the contrary, he specifically said that political correctness was bad, identity politics was bad, and that safe spaces were why Democrats lose, and when people corrected him on what safe spaces were he said that people need to be told institutions won't protect them, which you could all find by reading through his short post history in this thread.

Your habit of defending the vilest people just because someone who isn't down with Bernie dislikes them is morally disgusting.

But there's no argument that was made, whereas Dead Cosmonaut is a sack of poo poo and none of you will tell him that he is one. So either he can be allowed to poison any organization he's involved with by virtue of being a cartoonish representation of "brocialism", or someone can repeatedly remind him that the best part of him dribbled down his mother's taint whenever he pops up and eventually he'll figure it out.

Also, no one that's used "ad hominem" in a discussion has been worth listening to, because they inevitably shout out the names of logical fallacies they learned in Logic 101 in lieu of actually conversing.

This isn't debate class, this isn't debate team, this is a conversation. In order for the conversation to be good, people who like to use transphobic slurs like Dead Cosmonaut must be kept out of it and not given any respect because that makes their evil respectable.

On the contrary, anyone who claims to be a leftist and then uses transphobic slurs ought to be reeducated with the most severe ruthlessness. Because Party infrastructure would not allow for doing so safely, we must use other, cruder methods.

That's the thing. You think that it's wrong to tell bigots to go to hell, that it's "spamming the thread", "incoherent ad hominem rage", and that bigotry must be treated with respect. If you do not treat bigotry with respect, you are insane, you say.

You're nothing more than a spear-carrier for evil. How pitiful.

I suppose the "Debate and Discussion" is not about debate any more then. I'm all for calling out people who say stupid slurs, but you're acting like "Berniebros" have some sort of systemic problem that needs to be culled.

The actual data, from polling firms, found that these "Berniebros" have less racist, sexists, homophobic, and transphobic opinions than the Democrats in general. But this doesn't fit into you're forced narrative that "Bernouts" are mean people who are obstructing and the real bigots.

Pointing out that you are excessively using personal attacks instead of making salient arguments is a valid point of discussion, not just throwing out Debate 101 fallacies.

This is not a formal debate. Formal debates are generally not what you think they are either, since they're mostly about rhetorical tricks to shut people down.

You obviously are not for doing so, because you are refusing to call out people who say slurs, and you are insisting on a paranoid belief that I'm talking about every single person that voted for Bernie, rather than the spiteful dipshits on a message board who repeat memes.

Funnily enough, when someone posts "bernie would have won" and nothing else, none of you say poo poo. So you are obviously lying about "pointing out excessive personal attacks instead of making salient arguments" being a disinterested, neutral position.

Us leftists need to stop speaking about race, class, economy and so on in academic terms. We need to especially stop getting mad when people ask what academic language means. Anyone who means that when they say "political correctness and identity politics are bad" needs to start actually saying that. Anyone who doesn't mean that needs to gently caress off.

Being that the last time we talked about this we both got probated. I'll jsut say it should be obvious who here is being openly dishonest.

On the actual topic I'll say we need to ensure that the people who have been abandoned in the many cities and towns of the Midwest have a voice. Bernie by holding townhalls is showing the way. You want the party to win again? Give them a voice.

... I'm pretty sure most the bernouts here are actively engaged in the Democratic Party now and do not post bigoted things. This sub forum is pretty far left for American politics, and I would guess over 95% of the bernouts here favor full marriage equality, family benefits, using preferred pronouns, etc, as well as reforming our racist prison system.

I just said we should call them out, not sure why you are arguing otherwise. I don't expect some magic fairy or judge to say "Braniac Five said too many mean things! He loses this argument!" I'm letting you know you're coming off as an rear end in a top hat who attacks other people relentlessly.

It bothers me because you keep linking one dipshits stupid joke to a platform of pandering to Nazis and bigots, and keep insisting that we are letting transphobia run wild or something.

Dude, the guy who was suggesting we pander to racists was serious. Seriously stupid, but serious.

And you are letting it slip by by letting people like Mnoba and Dead Cosmonaut post without telling them it'll be ring-a-ding-ding for them if they don't knock off the rightist bunk. In fact, by saying "poo poo on our allies", you are insisting someone who whines about political correctness and calls people t******* is an ally, rather than a liability, a suckerfish, a useless hanger-on.

Calling them racist or screaming at them does not fall under the category of treating them as you would a chimp. If you've ever seen in behavioral research, or seen Reagan sleep with a monkey, you will understand that those are two things that is not typical responses to chimps. Instead, you make everything as simple as possible so that the minimal amount of higher brain functions are needed, because you know if they get confused they will turn violent and start smashing things.
