Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

No one said that here. You're just reducing the conversation to an idiotic meme, just like the two "representatives" in this case are doing. Just shouting bullshit at each other and thinking that makes you smarter because you got the last word. Well newsflash, this doesn't solve anything. It just strokes your own goddamn stupid ego "my zinger was better than hers" which is absolute moronic stupidity.
Yes, Biden is better than Trump. But both sides do seem absolutely intent on a race to the bottom and we're gleefully cheering on our side to get there first. No one is trying to be the better person. Obama kind of did and we flamed him to hell for trying, he was too civil and tried too much to compromise, right? Beating the republicans at their own game is never going to happen. Just by getting us to play their game they win.
I am neither Dem nor Trumpublican... without abolition of the more heinous party (GOP) through resistence from other non-fascists, we have no hope of improving. I am not a "we" with Dems. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Though, being forced to vote for a literal "lesser of two evils" does not remove the sidedly inaccurate notion that "getting us to play their game they win" isn't BS. If you DON'T play, they win. Well-natured beliefs that "rising above pettiness wins" have continuously failed against their churlish word games. If they smirk and say "royal flush" while playing checkers, throw down an Uno reverse card. Fuck the game if rules only apply to some players. Acquiescence to GOP fuckery is weak.
