Political Discussions for "Adults"

That quote was literally a rewording of what I just said, lol

And in the case of Rogan he's not even a high ranking leftist he's just a guy with a podcast that the left deems "problematic" cause he's had right wing guests on and he has a large, mostly young audience.

That's fair. I think the difference is just that they're successful with their attempts nowadays.

Apart from moving the goalposts to only include interparty smearing. But ja, I misread it as just "categorize anyone they disagree with as the enemy" lol.

Are you sure that it isn't because he high fives basically anything that's said on his show which includes blatant propaganda?

I didn't move the goal posts, you just misread.

No, it's because they felt too many of those high fives were going to right wing instead of left wing propaganda.

They've done nothing but fawn over his recent softball interviews of left wingers.

Poor word choice, goal post moving, same difference.

I like Rogan. Gives everyone a chance to be themselves, whether that's uber capitalists like Musk or guys like Sanders and Yang.

From moving the goalposts to strawmanning, smh

You literally just went from " oh I misread x as y" to "you're moving the goal posts via poor wording."

I personally wouldn't double down on the strawman.

Initial post said that anyone who talks to anyone that leftists disagree with are vilified. Then you asked for an example of right wingers vilifying right wingers for talking to someone they disagree with. Interparty smearing is a fold of "anyone", but that wasn't made clear until later. So yes, poor wording is at play.

That should clear it up but let's try to get at least another page out of this.
