SMH and shame on all of you for talking about Rush like that. I can only clutch so many of my pearls with how offended I am...

Trust me at least when I say this much bro. Intellectually lazy is the last way I'd describe it. I promise. We can disagree on anything else.

I watch politics everyday and I’m apparently uninformed
Imagine someone who never looks at news.

To be honest, with a lot of your post, you don't sound very informed.
Also, your argument is basically Dems need to ignore their constitutional duty, and blatant corruption, and calculate their moves based on what the lowest of low information voter would think. And yet you don't see how people would find that ridiculous, or could severely backfire.
Dude real talk, I just think you enjoy being the contrarian in the room sometimes.

No weirder than all those times you put on the cape for Roy Moore. Probably lowest NT moment.

1. if I’m misinformed, imagine 90%+ of the rest of the country.
2. that’s not “basically” my argument, but decent job trying to obfuscate my points. I offered up a very nuanced and sensitive situation with our military exploits So I guess I’m catering to the lowest of the low information voter?
3. I never ever ever said, insinuated, or even alluded to “not seeing how people can find that ridiculous.” Why are you Doing that?
4. your last point: in your eyes, my dissenting opinion = I get some satisfaction from being a contrarian in a thread about politics.
Man, gtfohwdbs
you gotta relax thinking people don’t agree with you must have some nefarious intentions.you did the same thing w/ that Tulsi Gabbard / HRC dust up Last month ... trying to fit my points into what you THINK I’m saying and how I FEEL instead of reading what’s typed.

Not really a hot take but I think Bernie wins with about 32%. Mayo Pete underperforms and Yang gets basically nothing

Oh ok famb, people are just not following this high level nuanced point your are making. Sure.
And saying you like to be contrarian is not saying you have a nefarious intent. You just seems like you think going against the majority opinion and then act like that fact alone makes your comment insightful.
You have done this a couple times now State a hot take, people call it out, claim they are misunderstanding and misrepresenting your views. But you don't expand your point in a meaningful way.
We get your points, they are just not very good sometimes. No one is missing the nuance.
And if you would notice, I am not the only that has told you that your takes be off the mark sometimes.

just listened to this entire speech. Amazing.
There are some people who consume 16 hours of political talk every day and still have no clue what they're talking about

Apparently it’s 16 hr/day political talk tv/radio, and the other 8 spent on sports tv/radio.

Anytime you get the rejects from Jackass/nba thread and those who look like they don’t know the meaning of water nor soap? This thread begins to mirror that of the Orange sphincters I Have A Dream speech.

never misses the chance to be the low hanging fruit contrarian . My guy will go mia....then come back with an “I told you so”, after a seemingly....as he classifies it....”Trump W”.I Think you secretly root for it man. That’s just what your post screams. There’s really no substance to it, and you’re only assessing half truths and not really debating on good faith. With dudes like you...I get a sense that y’all are informed...but not all the way informed...and go with gut instincts, false equivalency- both sides skeptism, perception of democrats as being weak/not ruthless enough and contrarian sensibilities.
When people....a LITTLE bit more informed than you on the subject at hand, present you with a fuller picture and why you may need to reassess what you were saying...you take it as an “attack....and view us as some kind of status quo....rigidly thinking consensus.....then you offer no real counter and slide back into the weeds of this is “hopeless” etc.
I see it man. We all got our lil shtick. This is yours. From what I read of you...I get the sense that you’re a smart brother, who genuinely sees the bigger picture and likely wants to see **** work out. Your posts just read lazy, pessimistic rather than realistic and contrarian. And when you get called out on parts of it...you become defensive.
My two cents.
