      When you have to start your argument with a fucking Merriam Webster definition, you should realize that your argument is shit. (This is of course the royal “you”)

        If you look back on your exchange with Gofer you’ll find that you brought up a topic completely different from Gofer’s point not once but twice. No matter your political beliefs, that’s not good faith discussion. If anything it’s the sort of thing we (as in everyone to the left of Reagan) make fun of when right wingers and tankies do it.

          Gofer presented an article. I continued the discussion presented to me. If you don’t want your statement to include the entirety of an article, then maybe just quote a piece of it and use the article as citation.

                That’s the problem when they focus on the aesthetics and ‘optics’ over the truth.

                The evidence is overwhelming and has been for well over a year, from reports by international human rights organizations to polls on support for the weapon embargo
