The Final US Election Thread

[CountArach]

LOL

In my opinion, the Democrats won Republicans lost all the seats in the House and Senate. Even the ones which weren't being contested this year.

Now you are a true Faux News reporter...

Remember the Democrats never win anything, the Republicans only lose it.

That's true. If I were to see things from the Republican side, every bit of power in government is theirs. They just have to hold onto it and gain it from the Democrats. If they lose seats, it's because they had a bad strategy this year, not because they have bad ideas which didn't work in practice, and it's time to give someone else a chance.

Read up on that and try again.

While it's true that something Fox news says is not necessarily untrue, they have almost universally lockstep Republicans as paid commentators, hosts, and pundits. When something they say ends up in their opinion section, it should be treated as such.

That's not ad hominem or any other kind of fallacy.

Hey, here's an idea; why don't you try addressing the issues raised in the article?

I don't see the need.

I could spend all day, every day, addressing every opinion or news story presented by Fox. I won't change their minds, I'd have to correct a lot of misinformation, and it wouldn't get me anywhere even if I won the debate.

I'd be happy to respond to anything you write in your own words, because at least then you're as committed to the discussion as I am. You couldn't just send me articles to respond to, allow me to wear myself out replying, and send me some more, all written by paid professionals who have the time and resources to endlessly and fallaciously argue a point.

You, on the other hand, are a fellow orgah I respect and appreciate. I even have a soft spot for ya. What you argue I would take seriously, and I would do you the courtesy of responding to.

I could, if I had the time, which I don't, dissect and respond to exactly one article by Fox. Beyond that, I'd be directing energy somewhere it doesn't need to be, which is the brick wall of paid Republican commentary.
