what did they all accuse him of? the stuff i did see was mild except for the kiss thing which was very bad but still doesnt rise to the levels of the others mentioned

groping mainly, and a splash of general sexual harassment for variety but it was like 90% 'this guy keeps grabbing asses'

He'd apparently been groping his way across the Minnesota State Fair for years via photo ops.

That said, he should have just stuck it out, there's no consequences for politicians now.

the fact that appointing a committee is just a way of not doing something when you don't want to admit that you're not doing something is so well understood that there were yes minister scenes poking fun at the concept some thirty years ago

it's as old as time. in the idiom "a moot point", meaning something that is pointless to discuss, the word "moot" is an old english word meaning "meeting". a modern translation would be "kill it in committee", going back like eight hundred years.

I used to post in both. We're both dumb chit-chat boards.

The difference:
  • D&D: Centrist and stuffy/toxic.
  • C-SPAM: Leftist and jokey/angry.

That's it.

You couldn't wring a serious discussion space out of D&D. You'd need a new board with really dry moderation, like probing people for logical fallacies.

can someone tell me how "tu quoque" became a logical fallacy anyway

like, I get that if you are literally in a criminal trial for shoplifting and you try to tell the prosecutor "I saw you shoplifting this morning you rear end in a top hat" you're not gonna get off, but if an American is trying to justify an invasion of some other country because their voting practices are questionable and their judicial system is hosed-up, the fact that America is also extremely guilty of those offenses actually seems pretty goddamn relevant

that's really hard to do and requires pretty much constant refreshing of mods and energy to keep things close to honest. nobody wants to do that so it naturally degenerates into posting cabals and weirdly specific subcultures where you have to slaughter the chicken using your left hand only or your posts are cursed.

I’m a progressive, and i think that everyone here inferring we should cut military spending is an absolute moron. The problem isn’t the military, the problem is the lack of spending and laws in other parts of our society. The only changes that should be made is the oversight of spending and empowering faster and harsher punishments to corrupt contracts and the underperformance and speed of acquisition of equipment received. You have no idea what being the world power gets us in regards to safety and the depth that the entire worlds monetary policies depend on it for stability. The amount of minorities who are able to get good wages, education, healthcare vs what they could in our racist civilian market.

well the person talking isn't america, so they're misapplying the fallacy accusation there. now, if america were justifying an invasion that way, then they would technically be right to point out the fallacy in this bizarre scenario where an invasion would fix any of those (or most other) problems rather than make it worse. it is just a form of "personal" attack, basically.

It was insane realising that 3 months before the election. :negative:

My brain is not a good brain and I still don't want to process that all Biden is going to do is solidify the right's gains while providing a stable platform to further fascism and maybe coup a few countries and start up another cold war.

I have managed to crack ping at least one person by pointing out the Biden admin is hailing an 11% corporate tax cut from 2016 to 2021 as a progressive victory and that people are buying it all because all anyone ever uses as a point of comparison is that Trump took it down to 21%
