Yeah but some white kid doesn't get to blaze it with their free unicorn pony so end of democracy over it we get!
I am lost at what you are trying to say here. Check the end of the sentence.
Phlubba might be referring to right wing youths who would hypothetically vote against Biden or not vote at all, cascading into a loss of US Democracy and eventually the fall of NATO and potentially democracy across the world as a whole. I don't think our situation is necessarily that bad, but it's definitely one of many possible futures.
What does this have to do with free unicorn ponies or the discussion at hand?
Ah, that would be a metaphor. "Blaze it with their free unicorn pony" is supposed to represent any unrealistic and fundamentally flawed policy goal that the aforementioned hypothetical children would be willing to risk the end of democracy if they do not obtain. Again, I don't necessarily agree with their statement, but it at least is coherent enough.
He's saying the only thing he ever says: having expectations of Democrats means you're a spoiled child.
Ah — correction — having unreasonable expectations of Democrats in the face of immovable majority opposition, suggests you're a spoiled child.
I meant exactly what I said. There is no correction needed.
Just because you falsely consider all criticism of Democrats to be unreasonable and all opposition to be immovable doesn't make it so.
Well since you're speaking for someone else, how about we just ask them who was closer to "what they meant" instead of just presuming with your blatant strawman?
$10 I'm closer.
"This user says criticism only comes from children" is much less of a strawman than their "unicorn ponies" garbage.
When the fate of your entire legal system hinges on the cast of Pineapple Express showing up to vote for the correct candidate, democracy may have already ended and you just didn't notice.
