    doesn’t stop Very Serious Leftists™ from parroting it over and over and over again.

    Wait a minute - does ‘ad hominem’, to you, mean ‘someone said something mean about me’?

    Is that what you’re saying?

    By the way, you’re still refusing to address my point about why Biden won’t do what he demands from others…

    About why he won’t give up ‘a principle’ that is currently popular amongst the majority of Americans, including a majority of Democrats, to appeal to a minority of voters, who are not even particularly reliable voters at that?

    Huh. I guess it’s a mystery why a politician in a democratic system wouldn’t do that.

    I guess we’ll never know.

        All of them are similar to the general scheme of ad hominem argument, that is instead of dealing with the essence of someone’s argument or trying to refute it, the interlocutor is attacking the character of the proponent of the argument and concluding that it is a sufficient reason to drop the initial argument.

        Don’t worry, sweetheart, I addressed your argument just fine; that you want to play tone police is on you. :)

          Now you’re ad-homineming me as if I was that other guy you were having a fight with. If your refutation is sound, why do you need to attack someone’s character anyway?

            People who come into the middle of a fight and are surprised they got punched are the worse.

            In case you can’t read between the lines, that means you

              I’m surprised you can’t tell people apart, not that you’ll lash out any which way

                You do know I’m not the original person you were fighting, right?

                I just came in
