Description

Should Yang be the next president?

My goal is too prove that he is the best candidate for the job. Con's goal is to prove that there are other candidates that are better suited for the job.

-->
@WaterPhoenix

Can you prove he doesn't care?

-->
@TheRealNihilist

Yes, you're supposed to farm votes and give somewhat of a crap about what happens. Yang doesn't.

-->
@Our_Boat_is_Right

You quoting something isn't proof. I don't accept your word nor should you accept mine. Go find the link like how you found the quote before you come talking to me about what I said.

-->
@TheRealNihilist

I can't find the link. I have it quoted from you in early May, you 100% said it. Do you retract the comment? Forget about the comment, do you stand by political violence or not?

-->
@WaterPhoenix

Aren't you supposed to farm votes?

-->
@TheRealNihilist

Everything he does is just to farm votes with no regard as to what the future of America will be.

-->
@WaterPhoenix

>>I'm probably wrong again aren't I?

Yes but you did make the statement that he was something that you later disagreed with. At least you understood it. It is up to you if you want to find out if by definition Yang is a socialist or not instead of just taking my yes as gospel.

>>Yang's a scumbag

Why?

-->
@TheRealNihilist

I'm probably wrong again aren't I? Point is Yang's a scumbag and shouldn't be president.

-->
@Our_Boat_is_Right

Are you going to find that quote and link it to me?

Why should I stand by a comment if I don't know I said it?

-->
@TheRealNihilist

So do you stand by your comment or not?

-->
@Our_Boat_is_Right

Pivot to you actually finding where I said that? Okay.

-->
@WaterPhoenix

Do you want to find the definiton of socialism?

-->
@TheRealNihilist

So you changed your mind?

-->
@TheRealNihilist

I would but that commnent's already been made. And it's not that hard to tell that he's a socialist. If that dude becomes president...

-->
@Our_Boat_is_Right

My ideology and what I said in May are two different things.

-->
@TheRealNihilist

I don't have the actual comment, I had it quoted from somewhere else. It was from early May, 2019. You said it, its not that hard to remember your own ideology.

-->
@Our_Boat_is_Right

>>I have this quoted, I can't find the link through the many comments over time.

Wherever you found this, click on the top where the URL is and copy it here. If you found the quote I am not asking for too much to link the link.

I am not going to reply if you don't do this.

-->
@WaterPhoenix

Is that it?

I thought you were going to call him a socialist after that or something.

-->
@TheRealNihilist

aight

-->
@TheRealNihilist

"Are you telling you can't justify violence when it is conservatives who is stopping public healthcare for everyone and cutting social security for people who need it? Since there live is on the line they are justified with their response because of what conservatives do to them which is not give them public healthcare that allows them to treat their injuries using tax payer money."

I have this quoted, I can't find the link through the many comments over time.

You believe in physical violence against people who have a different policy position on healthcare. That's called fascism.

-->
@TheRealNihilist

I'm confused by that sentence

-->
@Our_Boat_is_Right

How about people (Russia) who disagree with you on policy (taking over the Us and enacting a dictatorship)?

-->
@Our_Boat_is_Right

Quote me please with a link to it.

-->
@TheRealNihilist

>>Name me a position that I hold that is crazy leftist fascist.

Using physical violence against people whom disagree with you on policy.

https://www.google.com/search?q=communism&oq=communism&aqs=chrome..69i57.1625j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Communism: a theory or system of social organization in which all property is owned by the community and each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needs.

Unless the money is owned by each person and is according to their ability and needs. If not then no.

What you said isn't communism.

-->
@Our_Boat_is_Right

>>Being a crazy leftist fascist.

Name me a position that I hold that is crazy leftist fascist.

>>Fair point. I changed it.

Well well.

>>Maybe in the future. Forums are just more productive in my opinion.

Is this the forum to you as well?

-->
@TheRealNihilist

Giving poor people money so they can do nothing all day that's coming from the middle and rich class?

-->
@WaterPhoenix

How is he a commie?

-->
@TheRealNihilist

"The link does not claim that. It claims this:
True 5% Mostly True 10% Half True 14% Mostly False 21% False 35% Pants on Fire 15%"

Fantastic.

"What am I doing?"

Being a crazy leftist fascist.

"We both know how little this matters when it comes to a functioning website"

Fair point. I changed it.

"If you want to create a debate that I deem worthwhile I'll accept."

Maybe in the future. Forums are just more productive in my opinion.

-->
@TheRealNihilist

Ya, no he's a commmie or just farming impoverished people's votes.

-->
@Our_Boat_is_Right

>>Really makes me want to believe that Trump always lies.

The link does not claim that. It claims this:
True 5% Mostly True 10% Half True 14% Mostly False 21% False 35% Pants on Fire 15%

>>Keep doing what you're doing though, It really helps us win.

What am I doing?

If you want to create a debate that I deem worthwhile I'll accept. Given your recent record, it has been more than 2 months since your last debate so I don't even know what you are doing in the debate section. To comment?

We both know how little this matters when it comes to a functioning website:
"top debater for my age group on Debate.org, and top 100 on Debate.org."

-->
@TheRealNihilist

Keep doing what you're doing though, It really helps us win.

-->
@TheRealNihilist

Aw politifact? I was hoping for the Washington Post. Thank you for providing a down the center fact checker. Really makes me want to believe that Trump always lies.

-->
@WaterPhoenix

>>Andrew Yang is like one of the leftist democrats there

I would consider a socialist to be a leftist as in someone who wants socialism. Don't think Yang wants that to happen given his policies.

-->
@Our_Boat_is_Right

Are you to much of a coward to add me as a reciever?

I have 3,500 characters to use. I don't have time to present all the lies Trump has stated. I just linked it.

Oh no, the TDS. Acting like Trump not delivering on 1 promise is the worst thing ever, when literally every other president has done the same. Thank God for leftists like you guys, you really helped us win the election and thank God you will help Trump win again.

Andrew Yang is like one of the leftist democrats there

-->
@PressF4Respect

Lol, indeed. I think the 2016 election proved that well enough.

-->
@Trent0405

Meme appeal IS how you win presidency

-->
@Trent0405

Ah, okay. For a second I though he was actually serious about going full in to run lol

-->
@DynamicSquid

No way he's going to run, and if he does, he'll get smashed. Kanye has like no appeal to voters unless they're voting for the meme.

-->
@DynamicSquid

Yes he’s already won California

-->
@Trent0405

Oh, so that wasn't a joke? Is he actually going to run?

-->
@DynamicSquid

Comrade

Andrew is probably my 2nd favourite Democrat, but the only candidate that can truly represent all Americans, is the great Kanye West.

-->
@PressF4Respect

Commie as in Hommie?

or

Commie as in Communist?

SLAP MY SALAMI, THIS SQUID'S A COMMIE

-->
@DynamicSquid

Thank you, I really appreciate you making a debate that is relevant. Mainly the presidency not Yang which you will soon see in my arguments.

He seems like one of the better ones.
