Guess who the three men in my avatar photo are. Here's the full size photo. And before you go bothering to deny the reality of the photo, I already checked: http://www.snopes.com/photograph-clinton-bush-wallace/ The happy kids all gathered around making plans for your future. The gathering was at GHW Bush's residence in Kennebunkport, Maine. This is why you should not trust Hillary Clinton with your future. Even if it means putting a narcissist like Trump in office.
Reasoned arguments do not rely on imagery and innuendo. Three people in a photo is not an argument. Naturally we are supposed to infer that the three people depicted in your avatar believe the same things, share the same goals, and are united in their purpose simply because they are captured together in a moment in time. The fallacy should be obvious. Unfortunately I think it's lost on a great many folks who have been conditioned to extract information from our media driven society. If you want to know why we are experiencing social decay it's because the discourse among our population has been distilled down to info graphics and 140 character world salad.
You can try and cover for them all you want. It's obvious as hell that they are good buddies. A picture is worth a thousand words. The looks on their faces show no sign of being strained. Nobody there is faking their enjoyment.
I understand what you are saying; Like professional wrestling, men who appear to be bitter opponents in the ring, are really drinking buddies after the crowd goes home. And, even though their costumes and personas put them at opposite corners of the public ring, in the end, they all share the same goal; personal enrichment at the expense of the believers. This crystallizes 'politics' in general, in my opinion.
I haven't covered for anyone. I'm pointing out that your premise is not based in reason. A picture of three guys does not contain an argument that the three guys are good buddies, that they all believe the same thing, and that they share common goals. i.imgur.com/luw0Dcw.jpg
It is possible, and used to be common, that individuals who differ politically could be friends. Why not? The loss of this possibility is unfortunate and leads to bad politics.
The people in your photo did have common goals. The defeat of the Axis Powers. Your example simply reinforces my argument. Thanks.
That was the way it was before conservatives started to fight for our principles. Only then did the politics become "divisive". The very idea that we could have different opinions is to be shouted down by leftists at every turn. If they had any real argument to stand on they wouldn't invade our political rallies to try and shout us down. Your argument is bogus on the face of it.
