This thread is a prime example of why I don’t visit the Politics forum very much anymore.
Opening question is who is the worst Republican candidate for Alabama. FWIW, I say Roy Moore, and he’s lapped the field.....at least twice.
The first 20 - 25 or so posts stayed on point. Then, for reasons I can’t fathom, it changed into a “bash the GOP” thread.
Debate is no longer possible. To even acknowledge that the other side might have some points is to admit weakness in your own position. There is only insult. Or when cornered, the response is, ”Well, at least we don’t.........[fill in your own insult].
I am reminded of the poster who looks down on ideologues. Said he never voted the party, only the candidate. I asked if he’d ever voted for a Republican. He said no.
So he’s not an ideologue. It just so happens that for his entire voting life, every single Democrat was a better candidate than every single Republican. I was dumbstruck.
