Until you carry on one worthwhile debate in-forum then I'm going to be dubious. I understand that political debate online is tedious, but you can't expect to be taken seriously when all your posts are lazy one-liners. How do you think I'm where I am?

My god you're entertaining.. I truly appreciate what an arrogant douche you are, even if it's obnoxious. I wanna bring you out to bars and get you wasted, then watch you argue with all the people you look down on.. You're like the Dr. House of political science except you're wrong a lot. Also, his fake degree means more than your sub3-4k polisci courses.

Just like you bury your head in the sand with people who are set in their ways. It goes both ways. You want me to opine on how Trump is a good president? On how he's handled the office? On how the current GOP wants to run the country? I've seen enough to form a firm opinion. What would you like to see me do?

You do see what you did, right?
You can't bury your head in the sand against people who are set in their ways. That would mean I was not open to hearing you out, which I am, as I've shown through my attempts to have discussions with you.

What I'd like for you to do is take off your blinders and approach every new Trump subject with an ounce of objectivity. As I said in the Trump thread, you are so committed to hating Trump I find it hard to believe you would ever give him credit even if he did something that aligned with your views, and that's a problem. I'm not asking you to change any of your opinions or political party.

Not sure why this is a bad thing. It may get old, but sometimes you get through to people, and when you ask hard questions even if they won't admit it sometimes that **** sticks in the back of their mind and they began to internally question their beliefs, which imo is a win.

All I'm asking is that you put in a little more effort into the posts where you actually have some skin in the debate. When people are continually trying to debate you and you consistently come with one/two-sentence posts that amount to nothing more than simply restating your opinion it makes us not want to deal with you.
