re: Is bipartisanship bad for the country?

That is exactly what you said.
Zach, correctly, pointed out that moderates score lower on measures of policy knowledge.
You dismissed that knowledge as "meaningless." So either you have a technical issue with how those academics define policy knowledge (and that clearly isn't your point) or you think policy knowledge is meaningless.
Or (and this is the most likely scenario) you were being sloppy with your language in an internet forum and got called on it.
To add some context those "policy knowledge questions" aren't particularly hard. They are things like "how many branches of government are there" and "who is the vice-president."

No, it isn't.
There weren't a lot of words. I can probably help you get through them if you ask nicely. Up to you.

YES , We are 22 Trillion in debt because of bipartisanship.

Our government as a whole is bad for this country

Well, I gave you an out.
No, you did not post a lot of words. Let's look at them:
quote:
Explain how somewhat meaningless policy knowledge correlates to intelligence.
So do you mean that policy knowledge is meaningless, or that the specific policy knowledge questions used in the studies Zach referenced are meaningless?
How exactly does the word "meaningless" modify the phrase "policy knowledge" in your one sentence post?

I made no inference about your post other than that of basic grammar and language. Maybe you have a larger point along the lines of "policy knowledge is not correlated to intelligence." I don't really care. You didn't type just policy knowledge; you typed "meaningless policy knowledge."

That's unnecessary. I'm correct.

Bipartisanship is for the weak. Man up and think for yourself.

Yes it does. Well it says more than that, but it does describe policy knowledge as meaningless.
For example if I say "that stupid boy is ugly," I am calling the boy ugly, but I am also calling him stupid.
Whatever point you about intelligence and policy knowledge you think you are making (and again, I don't care) you described policy knowledge as meaningless.
That's through the grammatical magic of adjectives.
But keep digging. This is fun!

No, it doesn't. I'll give you that it's maybe a little subtle, and easily misinterpreted if that's what you want to do. It should still be easy to pick up with just a little effort and thought.

The ban on pork is the problem. You can’t horse trade for votes anymore.

So spell it out for me, chief
Posted on 2/21/19 at 7:17 pm to BigJim
I already did. You have to give some effort and thought. I feel like I already said that.

When the crazed Left took over the Democrat Party during the Viet Nam War that was the end of bi-partisanship.
It just took the GOP a real long time to figure that out.

When you take that to its logical conclusion, does that mean that bipartisan government or legislation is bad for the country?
when it involves democrats yes it is
Their incrementalism horse shite has just about pushed the country to the point of no return. All we need to do is just move the % of moochers a few more percent with whatever garbage crawls in from down south and we are there.

It totally depends on the issue...
