"During the 2020 vice presidential debate, Kamala Harris famously had to insist, "Mr. Vice President, I am speaking" when she was interrupted by Mike Pence (he interrupted her 10 times during the debate -- twice as many times as she interrupted him)."

So women interrupt men but since they don't do it as often, it's a sexist issue. If interrupting is bad, you make the whole issue bad and call out those who do it. You don't use a person who also does what you are saying is wrong as any kind of evidence or anecdote to make a case. This is an absurdly simple concept to understand.

Interruptions in political debates go back to the first debate I can ever remember watching. And it has been bad ever since. Using Trump to make the point or any Reps at all because you don't like them and infer anyone who has a different opinion than you should be treated differently than your own side only makes the author look stupid.

Well, Biden and other Dems have already stated within the last month that all of this is acceptable and people need to lower their standards. Rich people own more than you do, just get used to it according to Dem leaders.

It's funny to watch you kids try to compare economies that are built on different constructs. I find your lack of comprehensiveness disturbing (but definitely predictable based on the history of this site).

Looks very similar to the threats and violence that Libs are on record saying they want to happen to Trump. It's sad that hatred like this exists. It's even worse that people concentrate only on the hate against the people they don't like but have no problem when the same kind of hate is pointed against one of their own (as is evidenced in this forum). That's why this kind of hate will never go away.

"GFY on this one to all right-wingers. Your stupidity coming home to roost.
You broke it you own it."

Can't be made at you on this one, your leaders have been able to mentally control you for a while so your reactions are just instinct now. Biden is the POTUS right now, it's his problem. Dems have, and there is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMPLE evidence of this happening on both sides so any argument you make is completely invalid, stuck to the rhetoric that everything that happens during a POTUS's tenure is his fault. I know, I know...Dems counter this by saying "No, that only applies to Reps" but the intelligent people left in this country can smell a hypocrocodile and their tears from a mile away.

"Why do righties always have to go to the well of stupid, lame insults?"

Seriously, much of the stuff I respond to on this site is DIRECTLY because someone who doesn't fall in line with the Liberal mentalities makes a comment and Liberals start bashing that person, calling them names, insulting their intelligence, etc. That's one of my MOs on this site. So you are completely off-base and hypocritical AGAIN. Yes, they do go to the well of stupid, lame insults. But since Libs do that on this site every day, multiple times a day...what's your problem? If it's such a bad thing, why don't you call out Libs for it too? I mean, something so so so so so so simple to prove just can't be that hard for you to comprehend, can it?

And Democrats would rather make up exaggerations and be hypocrites instead of being objective.

This, just like the stupid article released before that it references, is almost EXACTLY the same rhetoric used by Reps about Dems. And both sides continue to keep their heads up their butts and realize that both sides are right. Both sides are making policies that contradict the democracy of America. And they are doing it 100% to further their own partisan wants. Dems want to force people to pay for a service. Dems want to force people to take a vaccine. Reps want to force people to take tax cuts that indirectly benefit the rich the most. Reps want to force women to not be able to make decisions about their own body.

Those are just 2 of the many examples from each party. But because both of the examples of each further what they believe is right, very few of them have any ability to see objectively that it may actually NOT be right. Or it may not be right in the context of our democracy. Hell, most Libs just on this site alone can't even realize that they are whining about Reps worshipping Trump when Dems did the same thing to Obama and are doing the same thing to Biden. It's not worship, it's the fact that most can't be objective and see their own hypocrisy. So their POTUS can do no wrong, which is evident in the way DR Libs have ignored everything Biden has done wrong because they either don't think he can be wrong or are too scared to say he is wrong for fear of their image being considered "lesser than" by their DR Lib peers. THAT is the kind of mentality that ruins democracies, not opinions. Opinions are great and, in fact, our entire system of government was predicated on everyone being able to have their own opinion. The problem isn't our democracy going away, the problem is America is too full of people who are willing to do harm in any way to others who don't agree with their opinion.

Always the same from Dems. When Reps rake in the dough for campaigns, Dems cry like babies about it. When Dems do it, it's just fine. Whine all you want, it's happened multiple times.

"I've never before seen a pitch that so blatantly threatens harm unless you come around."

Apparently someone hasn't been watching the news or reading anything online. BLM and supporting Dems have been threatening harm against the entire country and a specific race for over a year now. There is PLENTY of reality-based evidence of this so it can't be denied. You can whine about it all you want but that doesn't change the fact it is the truth.

Hunter Biden uses the n word multiple times and nothing happens; in fact, the silence from the Liberal outlets was deafening. The lyrics in the songs by multiple halftime singers in the Super Bowl not only are extremely racist but are misogynistic in a very significant way but it gets ignored too.

The hypocrocodile tears coming from the Left are the real cause of rising sea levels.

"It's not an impossible number. In Portugal, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates, upward of 80% of the total population are vaccinated, and cases and deaths are falling."

This is why it's important to do research. Maybe this will shine some light on why you should actually not believe everything you read, even if it's from outlets that lean towards your party affiliation.

Portugal is in a valley of spikes, just like America has and the majority of ALL countries in the world. Sure, they aren't as pronounced but they have still had 2 spikes and are just on the downward side of one. Enough time hasn't lapsed to show if they will get any more spikes.
Singapore, well I'll let you look at the numbers. They are having a very huge spike right now (in proportion to their historic trend). This is a blatant lie and, in fact, contradicts the entire point this article is trying to make.
United Arab Emirates look good right now but they've had one long, continued spike this whole time. So this is the only one where a conclusion can reasonably be made based on the information today but has a chance to be disproven on a long enough timeline.

I can look through all of the numbers of every country and find ones that are in valleys, or at the beginning of spikes, at the end, etc. and cherry pick ones to mention in an article to try to make any point I want about covid. Anyone can do that. The problem here is this outlet is dead wrong on one of them and provides almost no relational evidence that the other two

Before you respond, PLEASE actually look at the numbers of those countries. This article is blatantly lying and misleading and, in this case, it's incredibly easy to prove that so there is no excuse for any of you to actually use this article as any sort of smoking gun to point out a conclusion.

"White is right, that is the real basis for almost everything the right believes in. Deny it all you want but it is still true."

*facepalm*

If it's not a problem, WHY DID DEMS GO NUTS WHEN IT WAS HAPPENING AT A LESSER LEVEL DURING A REP IN OFFICE? Seriously, you kids don't even try anymore. The border right now is much worse than it was when it became a national emergency to Dems under Trump. The numbers are higher. The cages still exist. Kids are still getting separated from families. The ONLY difference in all of it is the noticeable lack of media coverage by Liberal outlets. In other words, white is right to Dems right now and Dems do nothing about it, and Lib kids apparently aren't trying to hold them accountable for it. The party of racial division strikes again. Maybe Reps need to send an extremer from their side to go to the border and take fake pictures of him/her crying and showboating to get Dems to feel like it is a problem again?

Go ahead, try to say that what is happening at the border right now isn't bad and doesn't deserve the same response as when Trump was in office. No matter what you bring up as proof, it can be debunked by non-biased facts. This isn't like most situations where it's just opinion vs. opinion. This is actual reality playing out at an increased scale of severity that should have prompted a relational degree of response or, at the very very least, the same response as before by Dems, but it hasn't. And there are two explanations...1) Dems are racist and don't care or 2) Dems are hypocrites. I mean, I guess option 3 is that it could be both but I'll give Libs some credit.

Church's pay police for keeping the peace. Many private events hire police to keep the peace. Heck, may Dems have hired police to keep the peace at their events and even when they are just traveling. This is all fact that can't be argued. So highlighting cops being paid to keep the peace by one organization just proves how hypocritical Libs really are right now. And the best part is the logic can't be denied. Which basically just means you will resort to what you normally do, name calling and hate spewing. Case in point, see the replies below mine now...

It's very easy to counter this. Just reply back "Because I'm free, you dumb ...."

There you go. Liberals just don't value freedom as much as Cons. It's opinion based. But it's not a reason to glorify hate, which is exactly what this link does. No surprise on a site that glorifies hate and supports it, but you should still be called out for it since it doesn't do anything to help.

Every city that has a Rep as a leader is being run into the ground, according to Dems.
Every city that has a Dem as a leader is being run into the ground, according to Reps.

It's very telling that Rep-biased forums and Dem-biased forums pretty much all say the same thing, the players are just different. The sad part is both sides refuse to budge on their opinions and say they may not be 100% correct. Trust me kids, you will see this as you age and actually read other sources of news. I can prove my statements 100% very easily. That doesn't make them facts, it just means what I've said is justifiable and relevant. Much like how any of you use facts to prove that a city is being run into the ground because of the leader's party affiliation.

Well, I mean, at a microscopic level there are millions+ living organisms in everything, so technically he's not wrong. At least I assume that's what he says when he tries to sleep at night.

Conspiracy theories shouldn't be used by the media in any way as all it does is give them credence. Even true ones, like Hillary claiming the Lewinsky accusations were right-wing conspiracies, are useless in society until there is reason to litigate. But even today, litigation means nothing. Anyone can sue and get a settlement regardless if it's true or not. Which just means conspiracy theories are nothing but a way for journalists to be lazy and dumb down the country, which they have done a bang-up job in the last few decades.

"And still morons around here say the parties are the same and both parties are the problem."

Seriously, you actually think doing one thing that might be for the benefit of the country after decades of doing many things that are for special interests means one party is full of saints? Reps have done things that benefit the country as well in between doing all the special interest things they do. So yes, in fact, this is actually just more concrete evidence both parties are the same.

And considering raising the debt ceiling does have negatives to the country, one could say it is debatable that raising it is actually in the best interest of our country. Come on, at least TRY to make your hate more justifiable. This is just a pathetic attempt.

Also, let's not forget McConnell is only following in Obama's footsteps by saying his party will not negotiate with the other party.

And also, let's not forget that Dems only raised the ceiling one of those times AFTER they had already let the government shut down.

I mean, the list goes on as to why your statement is just wrong in multiple ways. It's OK to learn from your mistakes and accept them. You probably won't but I'm just letting you know that it's OK. In fact, some consider learning from mistakes to be one of the best methods of learning for our brains.

It's a shame how Liberals are the biggest bullies in this country and they prove it over and over again, and then whine and complain about needing education to stop bullying. There is no way any person can deny that what they are doing to her is nothing but bullying. It's the very definition of bullying.

"Think of what repubs must be offering sinema and manchin behind the scenes. Which will be the first to switch parties?"

More evidence that Libs lack any logic and are only emotional beings. Because anyone may think differently, that means they are sellouts or any other number of insults DR Libs will throw at people (and then whine and complain when people do it to them). To expect that any group of people that has millions of members to all have the same opinion is ignorance. When it happened with Reps during the Tea Party years, Dems were on cloud 9 and loving it. Now that it is your turn, it becomes an opportunity for you to spread more hate. It is no surprise so many of you take advantage of the situation based on historic comments. If you can spread hate and bigotry because of your opinions, you surely will.

Hey, at least it shows who has the capacity to be objective and who doesn't so we don't have to guess.

"Capitalism is the problem."

Capitalism isn't the problem for the same reason as Facebook isn't the problem. Nothing wrong with the ideology of Capitalism just like there is nothing fundamentally wrong with any other form of economic system. What's wrong is that people are greedy for more. If it's Capitalism, they are greedy for money. If it's Socialism, they are greedy for in-border power. In fact, in Socialism, Facebook still exists and they STILL would alter algorithms to maximize profits. The only difference is that profit isn't given to the ones who make the decision to alter the algorithms like they do in Capitalism, the profits would go to the powerful who decides how it is allocated to society.

So getting rid of Capitalism doesn't get rid of optimizing profits. Liberals would do very well to understand that. China doesn't have it's GDP because of Communism, it has it's GDP because people are making profitable moves. How that profit is used for society is where Capitalism, Socialism, Communism, etc. comes in to play. This is a very clear reason why Libs shouldn't be listened to when it comes to economic systems, as a whole they can't think critically enough and use logic to understand the actual architecture of an economic system. But that's OK, the country needs it's emotional side just as much as its logical side since Cons have little emotional ranges. The heart and brain are both important.

Statues of people who helped during civil rights movements were defaced in the last year by those claiming to be on the left. Dems failed to accept that their actions caused it. So why is it any surprise any monuments are defaced today? If your own side defaces monuments that are part of your side, how can it be bad?

No different than many of you Libs being on the side of the squad who is trying to spread Theocracy as much as possible, and at the same time trying to get another country to be destroyed due to Theocracy. Can't make this stuff up. If it's a bad thing, why haven't so many of you finally come out and demonized the trash that is the squad?

This is one of those things where it's just going to be used as ammunition by whichever side isn't involved. The side who finds it news that rich, powerful people with similar interests and principles have their own groups are the problem, not the groups themselves. And the fact that a Liberal institution is the one calling them out for being hate groups when they don't label Liberal hate groups as hate groups is the part where this whole thing just becomes turds on the ground. I mean, Dems were already exposed for this same exact thing in their Democracy Alliance during Obama's tenure, and there was even proof shown that Obama catered to members of that group after both elections (which is what all candidates do when they win since they have to pay back those who backed them for favors).

Is it bad to have these groups? Maybe. Will it stop. Nope, both sides will always do it. The only good thing is that hopefully this will do what it did to the Dem's DA alliance, force it to be public so that more is known about their activities.

It's sad that Liberals still need explaining of how a novel virus works.

I am still waiting to hear Dems consider the acceptable death rate is for causes in America before freedoms have to be removed. The number can't be lower than 600k a year since heart disease numbers are around that annually. So any covid deaths up to 600k are acceptable since I don't see Liberals trying to protest, riot, and force people to wear muzzles and all the other things it would take to bring that number down significantly. And, before you try to say heart disease doesn't hurt anyone, it has the same impacts as everything else. They take up ER spots. They increase health insurance costs. They cost families a lot of money in many cases. Etc. etc. It's truly isn't that hard to understand why Liberals aren't breaking any ground in their fight. If they actually made sense, used logic, and learn how to compromise, things could be better.

"Sounds like MAGAts aren't OK with the GOP's "Let Them Die" healthcare plan."

Considering underdeveloped nations have much, much worse healthcare and many, many more people die, your exaggeration means absolutely nothing and serves to illustrate you haven't actually logically thought about the issue. Let Them Die would look even worse than those underdeveloped nations. So why make the stupid exaggeration? Sure, it may not be up to par with where you want it and there is nothing wrong at all for fighting to improve but exaggerating to make a point shows how wholly inadequate you are to actually speak to the topic.

But, again, go ahead and just attack me in your replies. That's typical and means nothing. Trust me, when all of you are grown up you will learn that having kids attack you means almost nothing. There are a lot more things to worry about.

It is funny to watch Liberals squirm. It's just their turn, that's all. The news is already clear on even Liberal outlets, Dems are losing their grip on even in their own party. They are becoming the GO of 2010-2014. It will normalize eventually like it always does, kids.

"Fish... what do you think the three branches of government are? "Executive", "Senate", and "House"?"

This is a great example. The GOP did this when it was their turn. Since Cons have a different opinion than Libs, Libs just name call and resort to attacking the other side instead of coming up with constructive ideas. This is why the Dems gained so much power during Obama's years. The GOP got so frustrated that they lowered the bar when it came to compromising and working with the other side. And then Obama said he isn't going to work with the other side and bam, the GOP turned into a bunch of apes in the jungle. I mean, one could say Dems control 50% of the Legislative branch outright because of numbers but reality proves that wrong today with the infrastructure plan in jeopardy because of other Dems. And other Dems trying to distance themselves from the Squad, who is really just the newest version of the Tea Party but on the Liberal side.

Being a butt and resorting to name calling and throwing hate at anybody only makes you the fool.

"Since they also wave around the constitution but have no problem violating and contradicting it when it is in their best interest.

So when Dems do it, it's OK right? If doing that is so bad, why do Libs not hold their own side accountable when they do it? Both sides use the same tactics to get what they want, have been for many, many decades, probably since the beginning. I mean, the very name of this link shows 100% hypocrisy where, if setting things on fire is bad, then Dems have already owned that action in 2020 in multiple huge cities. So why is it not bad when Dems do it? Because Dems agree with the reason. But if Dems don't agree with the purpose of Reps, then setting things on fire is bad. Which means it's only a matter of opinion on whether things need to be set on fire. And the only way that humanity has EVER found a way to deal with this nonsense is to compromise. But you are doing the opposite of that. You are attacking the other side. And you are attacking them for the same reasons they've attacked you in the past. Dems used the filibuster vehemently during W's and Trump's tenure, but now it's a bad thing because it's being used against you.

All of that just uses logic to explain why you are wrong. And the only responses I've ever seen to counter that logic are attacks. THAT is the true compass of partisan hate, and one that is causing the demise of the Democrat party right now. It's OK though, they will get back on track eventually. Both sides do every time.

"Some Republican candidates have already begun preparing to declare fraud in 2022, just as Larry Elder tried meekly to do in the California recall contest."

It really is telling about the Dem party that they completely ignore reality about the campaigns they lost and all the lawsuits that came as a result of those, and changes made by Dems to try to not lose that way again. I agree it is bad to try to make voting results biased yet Liberals refuse to call it a problem when it is their party doing it. You can't argue it, it's all public record. All you can do is accept it and either throw temper tantrums like the kids you are or accept it and try to hold your party accountable for it, so then you can make the right, objective changes and THEN start calling on the other party to do the same. Otherwise, you are governing by hypocrisy.

"The GOP disgustingly lowered the impeachment bar with Clinton. Democrats took the baton from the GOP and turned the process into a sick joke."

This is America politics in one sentence. Each party sets the bar lower when they are in power. Fantastic sentence! Now if only everyone could find this kind of objectivity in their minds and start looking to change politics with that logic. Oh the country we would be.
