False choice fallacy, again.

Do you have anything other than using false choice fallacies or catastrophe syndrome? Something rational, intelligent, and/or productive?

This is about electoral strategy: Don't let the liberals win. The left winning is bad for all of us. Libertarians refuse to acknowledge that.

Has nothing to do with a discussion about libertarianism, which is a discussion about government policy/power.

No it's not. This is you trying to force an irrelevant digression.

Because it's a false choice fallacy.

The MAGA crowd is in for a hard crash landing in two years when Trump is gone and no one to really take his place. Vance is a phony and lacks true charisma.

You already see with the yutes how this "cultural right" is going to go.

Add in the conflict this causes with the pro-Israel crowd and I can't wait for the purity contests in 2028.

Hopefully it kills this false choice fallacy crutch once and for all.

Sadly it won't have any impact on the catastrophe syndrome

No, those are your boogiemen.

The KKK were democrats and the left. They hated all those things - just like you.

You want government control over people to force them into a life that suits you. It's all social justice warrior bullshite.

quote:


You have ignored how the left wants to control you.

You have yet to describe how the right wants to control you. Why? It doesnt want to.


You wanted to control me during covid.

You want to force me into paying for foreign wars of bullshite.

You want to force me into paying for a police state

You want to force me into paying for bailing out big corporations.

You want to force me into paying for things like corn subsides.

You want to force me into social standards that you consider acceptable.

You hate freedom and liberty because you are scared how people will use them and you want to give them to the government for the illusion of security.

You are a coward and unAmerican.

Likely true in regards to those issues, so here are the real choices:

Trannies, Woke, Commies, Muslims, Illegals, violent criminals

vs

Normal

Do you think Paxton and Cornyn offer the same policies? Trump and Jeb Bush? Rubio 2010 v. Rubio 2016 v. Rubio 2024? Massie and Clay Higgins?

There is not one set of accepted policies even within the normie GOP.

People voting dictates govt policy/power.

For example, wide open borders vs completely shut border.

You've yet to describe the policies that support your argument, after being asked multiple times.

A false choice, you finally found it.

Only one of them is running against a far left social liberal. We aren't talking about primaries. We are talking about democrats vs republicans.

And lots of people vote for lots of different things.

This discussion is about policy, not voting.

See THAT is a policy. Baby steps.

Even better, you just proved my point about the system not being the binary fallacy you create, as the GOP has many different umbrellas with different policies on borders.

You don't know what a false choice is, apparently

No both did, as well as a 3rd GOP candidate.

3 GOP candidates with 3 different policy planks.

Not binary at all.

WHOA WHOA Mr. "Voting means everything" is trying to pivot away from voting? Say it ain't so.

Actually WE are talking about libertarians.

Nope. I just don’t see any redeeming value in figs, illegal aliens, moslems, marxists, ghetto people, etc. Apparently you and the actual leftists do, though.

ETA: I also don’t like seeing my country crumble into a third world shithole, either. Apparently you’re ok with that too.

The question is what redeeming qualities you find in freedom.
