Can anyone find some Democrats willing to debate on patrick.net?

I would like to have a very polite debate with some Democrats on patrick.net.

By polite, I mean refraining from attacking the person in either direction, but sticking to points of argument instead. So no "You are a (whatever)" will not be allowed. The only appropriate use of "you" will be "Here you said..."

I just ran into an old guy in a cafe who pointed in the newspaper to the governor results in California, which added up to 110%. I said, "well, that's California" and so he accused me of being an "election denier". I asked if he'd seen "2000 Mules" and he said he hadn't "because it's been debunked". Uh, it's the same people who committed the election fraud who are claiming that "2000 Mules" was debunked.

Nor had he heard what was on Hunter's laptop, since he watches only corporate news.

I think I might have made a dent in his wall of denial, and I'd like to try with others.

Not knowing Patrick personally, and not trolling, but evidently he has a different view of human nature than I.
I can't discuss things with fools; I have to avoid the subject entirely or leave.
Liberals deep down hate 1. you and me 2. themselves 3. their parents in some cases
I don't let them have the pleasure of my words.
Unlike the fucked up liberals I have known, I have no self hate, no self doubt, no time for those who hate me and I'm sure some people like me just as I am.

You should have just showed him some of the pics of Hunter that was on his laptop. He's very handsome even in the nude. As for the hookers, eh! But the blow looked like good stuff.

Maybe I'll try to get the Democrat that I spoke with the other day. Here's a sampling of my short, little 'debate' with him:

I asked him to name one single thing that is better for him and his family since Biden took office. He stared at the ground for about 30 seconds and finally came up with this gem:

"I'll tell ya what's better ... Trump aint the President." I asked; that's it, you can't think of anything else? To which he responded with dead silence!

Have fun trying to find an intelligent Democrat that can debate on anything of substance.

I have to try though.

The invitation stands.

It was a local Menlo Park paper. Not sure which one.
6   Patrick   @   2022 Nov 10, 5:16pm  

I posted a request for a Democrat on Craigslist:

BTW, let me know if you can't see that posting.

Too much testosterone here for a Democratic to last long. They will go crying to their safe space after a short time
8   Patrick   @   2022 Nov 10, 5:47pm  

Still, I will admire any Democrat who has enough balls to debate anonymously, online, with all personal insults blocked in both directions.

Unfortunately some bad faith actors harassed away the Dem leaning folks that were part of this forum.

That's not accurate. Sure there was "bullying" on both sides, but nobody did that better than some of out forme leftoid forum actors. What is accurate is that conservatives likely always have been in the majority on this forum, hence maybe the impression of "harassment"

If you want to get dems back, you’ve got to make this forum less about politics. Unfortunately, everything is political now.

You’d think the fact that the Covid vax produced by giant corporations is killing people or that the Ukrainian war is stupid is something we could find common ground with the libs on but I guess not.

I used to at least understand where the libs were coming from. They wanted less guns and war, more weed and gay marriage. We could debate on the merits of different policies. Now it’s all “you’re a fascist” and redefined words to win arguments. It’s sad.

You got one on the hook Patrick!

Everyone be nice!
13   Patrick   @   2022 Nov 10, 7:26pm  

I don't see how to reply to him, but he doesn't seem interested in sincere debate either, because he's demanding a conclusion before we even start.

Where was that? The newspaper thing.


@cisTits I went out and found that paper. Here's a photo:

@pudil Right, it's like the left has entirely given up all their principles. From my link in the header ( https://patrick.net/post/1277846/2015-02-09-an-antidote-to-corporate-media ):

It’s like Pharma just backed a truck up to the Progressive Values Factory; stole everything; modified core values in order to maim people, make money, and implement global totalitarianism; and the left is just out there smoking a cigarette on the loading dock saying, “Sounds good to me.” What!? What the heck happened to the left? Is there no one remaining in that tribe who is capable of logic and reason!? Quite literally the worst industry in the world stole the left’s most cherished values and no one on the left is the slightest bit offended by this (even though they are offended by everything else)!? We live in the bizarro upside down world.

They are fucking animals.


Right, he immediately excluded sincere and respectful debate, so... next!

BS. Because I only saw another Dem on my ballot. That says his opponent was another Republican.


I just checked my sample ballot from the mail. Says Brian Dahle is a Republican.
18   RayAmerica   @   2022 Nov 10, 8:09pm  

Just a suggestion for a friendly debate with a Democrat ...

Send a formal invitation to the newly elected Senator from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the Honorable John Fetterman.

Subject for the debate? Fracking.

I applaud your effort on this. To clarify- do shills and politicians count, or are you looking for actual populace.
Strangely enough I was thinking of posting a pointer to this site for those politically- or free-speech- inclined. And I suggest we page all zogbots as well.

Plenty of shitbags to find on Twatter.
Plenty of shills on Gab and anywhere else with a considerable size.
And that-site-which-shall-not-be-named if you want horde mode.

Why did they use a map of Moscow in 2000 Mules?

That’s correct, he supposedly is. Not sure if RINO or actual conservative though.
