    yep, that is good to throw in.

    I try to keep these as specific as I can, because as soon as I mention more than one item in the same sentence, the conservative arguing with me is like “so first he reduced inflation, then he also reduced prescription drug prices? which is it? choose one!”

    presidents can actually do more than one thing-

    "Last year biden said he was 80!

    this year Biden says he’s 81!

    what’s the real number?"


  • High five.

    it seems like Americans watched the South Park episode about Trump and Hillary, assumed it was the factual, comprehensive truth about all politics everywhere forever, and then never looked at any of the facts ever again.

    The democrats reduce inflation.

    The Republicans force women to die in hospital parking lots.

    democrats fund civil rights advocacy groups.

    The Republicans make memes about murdering senators.

    Democrats significantly increase the value of the US dollar and lower unemployment

    The leader of the Republicans is a rapist.

    I’ve quoted you like 20 times.

    you want to believe that reactionaries are not conservatives.

    that is incorrect.

    reactionaries are conservatives.

    you want to believe they are not because otherwise your ideology of a singular evil economic system falls apart.

    that is your flawed understanding of capitalism and your ideology of the One Great Evil is a tenuous bit of fervor.

    there are plenty of happy, successful, functioning capitalist countries right now all around you.

    If you want to play with special definitions, and you are asked for your special definitions beforehand, supply your special definitions or you won’t get the answers you’re looking for.

    now you’re just literally repeating what I said even though it has nothing to do with my comments.

    conservatives and reactionaries are the same unless you want to pretend they’re different with a special definition that is slightly inaccurate.

    since you were playing around, I figured you would be using a made-up gotcha definition.

    which is fine, I definitely was waiting for you to take off the mask.

    "Reactionary refers to trying to turn the clock back to an earlier point in economic development. "

    I asked you for your special definition, you didn’t give one.

    so yes, if you change the definition now, then the answer will be different.

    “I am using the correct definition.”

    you’re using a make-believe special definition for you. sure.

    “Never said reactionary movements are only due to Capitalism.”

    Cool, nobody said you did.

    "Quote me. "

    done. 4 times in this comment alone.
