Jon Stewart mocked both President Biden and former President Trump during his return to “The Daily Show,” saying both 2024 candidates are “stretching the limits of being able to h…
You inserted yourself into a conversation I was having, in which the other person (P03 Locke) was disputing Stewart’s assertion that the country would not be over, and asserting that
This is a question of whether democracy dies in America.
That is the context in which I felt it was necessary to define Democracy.
You then jumped in and said
When I say “Trump is eroding our democracy,”
despite the fact you had not actually said that previously, and that it is a different stance from what P03 Locke said.
P03 Locke never asserted Trump was eroding Democracy, they said he would be killing it, and they said that as a direct counter to Stewart’s assertion that the country would not be over, which indicates that in P03 Locke’s mind, the death of Democracy is equivalent to the end of America.
In that case, it’s incredibly important to define Democracy, in order to understand exactly what changes P03 Locke believes Trump will make, so we can actually assess the likely impact of those changes, and see what precisely they think qualifies as the end of Democracy.
I didn’t say you can’t participate, but you jumped into a thread in which 2 people were discussing whether the country and democracy were going to come to an end, and then immediately said, “well I never said anything about the end of democracy/ the country”. That’s cool, but it’s completely irrelevant to the discussion that P03 Locke and I were having, which was explicitly about that.
I also note that you have no response to any of the actual points I made, so I’ll assume you have nothing to add or dispute.
Lastly, I’d love to see which parts of my comment you consider “an entitled tantrum”. Was it when I pointed out that you introduced an unrelated argument, and then acted as though I’d been arguing against it?
If you don’t like what I have to say, then stop responding to me and/or block me.
Actually, I think I’ll just keep pointing out the flaws in your comments.
