    The source does matter. I won’t support a MAGAt just because they bash the Dems.

        Nope, I just don’t accept criticism (or anything else really) from people who can’t even form a coherent thought and are just regurgitating sound snippets from pundits…

          Thats not what you just said though. You said the source of the argument makes it dismissable, now you are stating that it is the quality you care about. Disingenuous dumbass.

          The issue is the amount of bad faith critique levelled by people on the right. Supporting one of their valid criticisms without mentioning that they are normally full of shit appears like a blanket endorsement even though they may bring up only a single good point it’ll be seen as complete support.

          Ya sure but that isn’t really what your comment was saying which was more along the lines of “ignore all criticism until you know where it came from”.

          Anyways, if the criticism is valid, you are just plugging your ears at that point.

        what kinda idiot lets themselves be concern trolled in 2026

        like a good argument is valid regardless of source but republicans and their cognitive dissonance, double standards and general bad faith arguments means sitting through their bullshit in hopes of one is just silly

          Who is talking about sitting thru some discussion with republicans in hopes of hearing a good argument? Youre just making shit up to argue against. Relate to what the other is actually stating, you imbecile.

          Sure but that’s not the point. If someone gives good criticism, that criticism is good.

          If you don’t believe that, you’re a tribalist.

          The world gets better when everyone acknowledges and fixes their problems when they’re pointed out. It doesn’t matter at all whether it’s a good person or a bad person that points them out, what a gift it is for someone to show you your flaws.
