but that's what happens when you let your emotions get the best of you... not to mention foolish pride.
It's absolutely clear from your prior comments that you most certainly DID consider ALL Democrats to be "progressives," thus, proving my point EXACTLY.
Let's read, shall we? First, you start with the following false accusation, by stating, and I quote: "you come on my thread and denigrate tons of other Democrats because they are not 'true progressives'." ( A side note: I still can't stop laughing at that, because my argument actually does the exact OPPOSITE... indeed, I specifically recognized the importance of the entire spectrum of Democrats to winning the hypothetical election against Kid Rock you fretted about, which, obviously, includes NON-progressives... and then I cited you examples of whom I was talking about. )
Okay, now instead of just recognizing that important distinction, you continue with your patently false accusation that I denigrated those "tons of other Democrats," in the same sentence, by erroneously concluding: "which, when you say that makes EVERYONE ELSE a "fake progressive." ( Emphasis mine. )
No, actually, I DIDN'T denigrate anyone by making "everyone else a 'fake progressive' "... quite the opposite is true. That's because I don't consider EVERYONE ELSE - all those other Democrats whom I cited as examples - to be progressives in the first place!! (Again that's NOT a denigration of those fine Democrats, as YOU have intimated. )
Of course, you're free to "stick to your guns" if you want and consider all those "tons of other Democrats" to also be real progressives, as opposed to fake ones, so as to avoid some imagined slight... that doesn't bother me in the least. Just don't criticize me for then putting forth the distinction I made, which, ironically, is precisely necessitated by your false equivalency argument.
I know you must get the point, so please stop playing dumb Eko... just admit your mistake, it's really okay. Or, perhaps, reading comprehension - even your OWN writing - is not your strong suit and that point escapes you.
In either case, if you want to backtrack from your previous misguided view that all Democrats are progressives, as I have demonstrated, you are certainly free to do so - indeed, I would COMMEND you for doing that - but, yes, at least have the intellectual honesty to admit your mistake before glossing over it, so as to save yourself any further embarrassment.
And, finally, you might wanna cut back on the unnecessary hostility towards me for merely pointing out your flawed argument - like "head up your ass," "stick it," "dumb ass," "shut up," to name a few... didn't your mom teach you manners?! - which makes you look even more foolish ( As hard as it is to believe that's possible!! )
That is all... you can now take back CONTROL of YOUR thread, as you would put it ( that was maybe the funniest thing you said... thanks for the good laugh!!)
P.S. I never said, or even INTIMATED, that there's"only ONE way to save our great country" - yet another doozy of a "strawman" argument you make - but rather, merely said I believe a progressive candidate - I cited Elizabeth Warren, as but ONE example - would stand a much better CHANCE of defeating your feared candidate, Kid Rock, than a NON-progressive, say, like Joe Manchin. To be honest, I think even Manchin - if, by some miracle, he ran and actually got the nomination - would have a DECENT chance of "crushing" Rock's azz into fine dust. So you can stop fretting over him... I think the country is safe if that extremist were to ever become the Rethuglican nominee. Of course, I thought the same thing about the "tRumpster fire" that's currently sitting in the Oval Office, if that prick got nominated. So, on second thought, forget Joe Manchin... better to stick with a real progressive.
