this is not about my "assertions". it's your own silence on the subject of actual work done that shows your lack of real world experience. since you're all theory, you can shirk the demands of the real world in the name of unattainable ideals of purity and fantastic man-gods. if anyone self-aggrandizes here is your holy other-wordly holiness hovering above the mortals.
the truth is that your dead god-emperor, our current president, you, me, and everyone's mother, are/were/will be just humans with our own flaws and limitations, capable of good great deeds and capable of errors and atrocities as well. there are no perfect people and there is no perfect government-- burying your head in dreams of an imaginary world isn't going to change the fact that we all shit and our shit stinks-- get used to the stench and maybe you'll be able to do something more than preach the tiresome cynicism of disappointed romantics.

No, that just fits nicely into your own creative narrative about assertions about my own experience. Again, this is not a pissing contest, and I could give a FUCK about what you believe about my own experience. Let me understand your position. I start a thread attacking the character of our current president because he is a dick, and you instead of posting credible evidence to correct my own arguments against the president, instead you rely on false accusations and personally driven insults about me? While I did indeed insult your opinions, I don't ever recall making it personal about you, whereas all you've done is send out bombastic criticisms about my own character, but have been surprisingly quiet on defending the credibility of the president, which is the original topic. Let revert back to the original argument I pointed in your direction, which you've been stalling and diverting for some time. I THINK YOU ARE WRONG TO PROMOTE POISONOUS PARTISANSHIP AND POLITICAL JINGOISM AND FEAR-MONGERING. To suppose that "anything but Mitt" is acceptable is the wrong solution, it empowers the sitting president to continue to scoff the needs, interests, and demands of the constinuency. I like you acknowledge the world is an imperfect place, and indeed shit stinks more than roses so we tend to notice it more, even a single piece of shit in an immense garden will ruin the vibe a bit. However, my ARGUMENT IS THAT WE SHOULDN'T PRETEND SHIT ISN'T SHIT JUST BECAUSE SOME OF IT STINKS A BIT LESS THAN OTHER PIECES OF SHIT. A for trying to distract the issue, but epic failure in trying to make me feel stupid whereas I feel quite vindicated by your devolution towards casting stones rather than substantive arguments, and you just look as petty, hypocritical, and stupid as you've been sounding
