"This election is 2 old men in cognitive freefall acting as surrogates for the corporate elite, protecting the interests of the 1%, arguing over who groped the least number of women,"

I see you have given up on defending Biden, so you just say Trump is the same. Reality is that Biden is the only one in cognitive freefall, and Biden is the clear choice of the establishment and corporate 1%. Trump is vigorously opposed by the 1% because Trump wants to end the offshoring of manufacturing and end unfettered illegal immigration. The above quote is just throwing Biden under the bus, hoping to hurt Trump in the process. Now that Biden has taken out Bernie, Biden is less needed by the Dem establishment.

Trump is way worse

Which of Trump's policies do you disagree with?

The winning part.

How about the part where the lives of Americans are treated as a fungible asset for the sake of corporate short term profit?

The whole agenda of the GOP translates to acceptable wholesale deaths at home and abroad. It takes a money-is-no-object amount of broadcast media to convince people otherwise too.

He had a plan to deal with Corona Virus in the STOTUS that Nancy ripped up.

That sounds like the globalists. You do know that Trump is not really a republican, Don'tcha?

He's an American.

That's Ma'am!

Trump is right again - tax cuts are better as the goal is to keep people working instead of putting them on the dole with fake news fascist lockdowns. Open up now! Don't be a leftoid. Make America Working Again!

Remember, Obama touted the new normal as American in decline with "those jobs not coming back." We did not accept that "new normal" then and we should not accept this pandemic "new normal" now.

Yes, those experts. Like the WHO that told everyone that Covid-19 can not be spread by human to human contact.

Gee, this is so much fun. Going through memes that Marcus posts is almost like dissecting "Cheap Manipulation Techniques 101".

Marcus, let's dissect this one. First, note how careful your side now needs to be with their words. Question: why do you think that they picked this term "sexual misconduct"? It's the opposite of what you would call "snappy", the opposite of what you'd want to use in a meme.
Here's my answer: because they somehow needed to equalize assault (which Joe Biden is being accused of) with "chicks dig me because I'm rich and famous" behavior (which Trump is being accused of)

Trumps' entire life has been put under microscope, but not a single sign of assault-type or forceful behavior has ever been found. Not even a far-fetched one which media could further bend for the party line. Even in the infamous locker room recording, his pussy-grabbing point was that "they LET YOU do it" (uppercase mine, emphasis on consent).

How do you put it in the same category as assault? You come up with a term which describes both, no matter how imprecisely! "Sexual misconduct" would be one. Because, you know, assault is certainly misconduct, and so is banging hookers while being married. Never mind that they are two very different types of misconduct. It's misconduct, I tell you!

This is where the "lie" part comes into the picture. See Marcus, there are not many people, conservative or otherwise, who don't believe that Trump lead a life of playboy and a flamboyant billionaire, that he banged beautiful women, to some of which he probably also paid. People know, and they don't care. Lie is in pretense that not caring about consensual behavior (misconduct or not) is the same as not believing in it.

Brilliant. He didn't brag about the times he has sexually assaulted women. I guess I have to give you that.

You only prove the point of that meme. You have no interest in whether or not Trump has sexually assaulted women More generally, you have zero interest in all the proof of what kind of person Trump is. Apparently you admire him.

I'll make it simple.
It's not my job to investigate Trump. Those whose job it is apparently failed to produce any evidence, no matter how hard they tried, and thus your side has been reduced to spinning consensual behavior as something that it's not. That, and mind-reading (i.e. "apparently you admire him")
Dissecting your memes is still fun. It's almost like you can pick from them randomly and use as a manipulation technique recognition exercise.

Translation: you are immune to reality, or at least so you claim.

You made a statement but forgot the "because" part. I said that I could probably pick randomly from your memes and use the pick as a manipulation technique recognition exercise. How is manipulation recognition the same as being immune to reality?
Or is it in the same way as "assault" and "victimless crime" are the same?

Oh, and just for the record. At this time, I give accusations against Biden zero credibility.

Believe it or not some women like sex.
Believe it or not some men have sex with women who like it.

What part of Trump saying, "they let you do it" do you not understand?

marcus says

Sexual assault allegations against Trump: more than 20

Of all of these allegations which do you find most credible?

marcus says

Sexual assault allegations against Biden: 1

Actually, there are at least eight.

marcus says

Then what part of the meme is manipulation, rather than fact ?

Both are.
Joe Biden is being accused of sexual assault. My take: very few on either side believe it, and when the right brings it up, it's because two can play in this game. The first part is indeed false. What makes it more false, is the "sexual misconduct" charade. It's assault, and Biden is currently under investigation. He has not been cleared, no matter what the majority believes (sure, it was a power play by the right - see the "two can play in this game" reference).
Trump is not under investigation (spare me going over credibility of "assault" accusations against him). However, most people believe that Trump is indeed guilty of other, victimless, forms of sexual misconduct. Which is why the term "sexual misconduct" became operative. It's to add credibility where there is none (i.e. manipulation). Does it make it clear?

marcus says

There are A LOT of these kinds of claims against Trump.

Of all of these allegations which do you find most credible?

You know fully well that existence of "A LOT of these kinds of claims" against Trump means absolutely zilch. He's the guy that half the country loves to hate. If he never-ever assaulted a woman (you may be of different opinion, but I'm inviting you to a mental exercise) - do you think that, given current situation, there wouldn't be such claims? We all know that there would be plenty of those. Some accusers would be doing it to be in spotlight, some for money, some may be thinking that they are doing it for greater good. Going with the flow is a thing, if there's anyone who'd be falsely accused, it's Trump. We probably had very skilled persuaders telling women who were in contact with him that they were abused and encouraging them to step forward (this is a speculation, but a likely one).

Now, here's an important part. Someone who's in fact prone to assault, someone who developed this pattern, usually slips. Over the course of decades, it rarely stays within "only ones in the room, her word vs his" boundaries, especially in times when abuse was way more acceptable than it is now. We are talking about decades of same pattern. A person would make a mistake, and there would be proof, which never happened with Trump. How is it that he never slipped, having spent decades as a super powerful person constantly surrounded by babes? He never lowered his guard in those forgiving times, is he that good? I recon your side believes that he's a bumbling idiot, how do you reconcile the two?

My position is clear, with regards to both Trump and Biden. What's yours?

> marcus
Saved. I gather - you (again) discovered that debate is not your turf and are getting back to cheaper propaganda techniques with better bang per buck.

Let's see. You posted the meme. I dissected your meme, and explained why it's a material for "manipulation detection 101". You attempted to challenge me on that. Few iterations, and it appears that you are out of arguments and re-posting the meme.

I'm clarifying what is your turf, and what isn't.

You should know that this can be done with most of the materials that you share here.
