    How is going to the Supreme Court and forcing people in states, who consistently said "no" to an issue, to accept it an example of "trying to change people's opinions on politics"?

    You said I can't win without allowing a majority of citizens the right to vote and therefore my ideology is incorrect. I asked you if you think everything a majority agrees with is correct, since that's the standard you provided for dismissing my ideology.

    You responded with this rambling, vaguely coherent, off-topic mess:

    When his incoherence is pointed out to him he usually replies with a variation of "well I'm post-modern"

    It's the kind of talk that anti-capitalists use at Starbucks on their iPhones.

    There’s something really sad about men who have to go after children because they can’t handle adult relationships.

    Muhammad the prophet of Islam married a 6 year old when he was 53. You've defended Islam many times.

    And progressive Weimar Republic and Amsterdam both allowed it. It seems to be consistent with the "Taboo" perversion that the progressive sexual liberation movement has embraced.

    that you're obviously wrong is what contributes to the unappealing nature of your ideology

    Roy Moore should have stepped aside for the good of the country. His radical agenda was bad enough - add sexual peccadilloes in this hyper charged environment and you’re guaranteed to lose.

    Seriously? YOu are comparing 7th century social norms to 21st century norms? Why is beating your wife a crime today.

    It seems that repeated use results in an addiction to logical fallacies.

    actually people voting on things and saying yes is them being forced to accept it

    i dont care about the supreme court one honestly because that's a decision regarding laws that already exist

    I do find it troubling that people who don't own land, don't have a full time job, and often are on welfare get to keep voting for more welfare money.

    If only land owning, working Americans were permitted to vote, there would never be another Democrat ever elected, I presume.

    Yeah, Moore was an arrogant prick for refusing to step down. I also don't understand why a last minute "independent" conservative didn't come up.

    we don't let convicted felons vote - why should we let those who are on welfare and refuse to work vote ? how does this benefit them, society, or anyone else ?

    I have no issues with a consenting 18 year old marrying a man who is 50. Personally, I like my women older. Even when I was a teenager, I liked women in the mid-20's or older. I would rather date a 35 year old than a 20 year old any day.

    You're acting the same way than democrats who scorn republicans because they have in average less diplomas.

    The good news is that if I'm not wrong you're for the right for any people to have guns, so if people can't use the ballot, what they would have left ? Bullet ? Similar in the sounds, not in the result.

    When have I ever claimed the Republicans are just as bad as the Democrats?

    That's right, never. Another swing and miss for you, I'm afraid. Precedence remains unbroken.

    how many people on welfare do you think refuse to work? Does your disenfranchisement extend to the working poor who rely on programs like SNAP etc?

    Always easy to throw out grandiose pearls without details or consideration of implementation or consequences. Ideological popcorn of little intellectual nutrition.

    guess you can't see a reflection. A deliberate attempt at lame wit, or actual interpretation of my comment?
