“Florida Democrats don’t know why Taylor Swift is naming an upcoming song on her new album ‘Florida!!!’ or the reason she chose to hold three concerts in Miami less than a month before the November elections,” Politico reports.

“But their excitement around the news is less about ‘why?’ and more about leveraging Swift’s celebrity status to fill the blank space for beleaguered voters tired of losing to Republicans.

    Maybe you missed the part where I was responding to another comment that casually mentioned there’s no other viable Democratic candidates.

    Stating objective facts isn’t an argument, they’re just facts. The DNC did those things, and worse. It’s not up for debate, and there was no point being argued.

    It sounds like you believe anyone saying anything critical of the DNC, is actually secretly a Trump supporter, or Trump apologist?

    Well… golly gee, you got me there. Good work!

    Keep it up, and don’t worry, there’s definitely no way that approach to political discourse will ever spectacularly backfire on you.

      Again. And?

      It still sounds like you are one of those “it’s broken so don’t vote” assholes.

        Twice now you’ve invented positions for me, based off nothing that I’ve actually said i.e. straw man.

        Lame dork.

              I haven’t made up shit. I stated what it looked like and they failed to repudiate it followed by calling me names.

            What argument???

            argument /är′gyə-mənt/

            noun

            1. A discussion in which disagreement is expressed; a debate.
            2. A quarrel; a dispute.
            3. A reason or matter for dispute or contention

            Please, tell me what I’ve actually said that qualifies as an argument.

            Not what you’ve imagined or mystically determined using tea leaves or tarot cards, but my actual words.

              Exactly. The points you put together made no argument. I asked “so what?” And indicated that the points as presented appear to be the same points people use/put together to say: “so don’t vote.” / are used by the same group of people who are trying to disenfranchise or discourage voting. This is a common propaganda technique.
