            That’s not what an ad hominem is. Unsurprising that you don’t understand that, since you also think “Blue MAGA” is a real thing.

              Wikipedia:

              Ad hominem (Latin for ‘to the person’), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments that are fallacious. Often nowadays this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than the substance of the argument itself

                  How is “shut your stupid fucking mouth, kid” not a personal attack instead of attacking the substance of my arguments?

                    The ad hominem part is specifically trying to discredit your arguments on the basis of an unrelated trait. They’re making no attempt to do any such thing. It’s rude, sure. But there’s no argument in there. Read the examples in the wiki.

                    Ad hominem is more like whining, “you all downvoted me but didn’t reply,” with the implication that the position is correct because of their actions. “Shut up,” isn’t an ad hominem, it’s just rude.

      Maybe if Harris would actually post a policy plan I’d have more enthusiasm about her. Real frustrating to see another Dem candidate trying to appear progressive while actively saying nothing and towing party line.

      Walz is a boss tho.

        You’re getting downvoted for asking for policy plans from a politician. What bunch of idiots would elect a POLITICIAN that has NO POLICY PLATFORM OUTLINED

          Lol figures. I’m like I wanna go out an canvas: what are my talking points, for real. It’s feeling like I’m with her all over again.

          Progressive politics are popular! Run on them ffs. I don’t want this we’re not going back crap. All the party is earning at this point is my begrudging vote because duh the other option is worse.

          This election could be a landslide instead it’s still polling within margin of error.

      Harris was talking big on housing recently. That was stuff I never heard from Biden. Did she mean it? I think no, but I could be wrong.
