It's comments like this that demonstrate just how uninformed Republican supporters are about the actual policies of the two parties.
Or we just sit back and watch the chit show that the democrats provide us almost on a daily basis.
Do you understand how ironic this is when this site non-stop strawmans every republican position?
Isn't that statement itself a strawman? Just a vague non-specific accusation in order to attack a group?
I can understand your critique, but the thing is every single post with more than a few comments turns into a strawman of republicans. I dont really know what to tell you if you cant see how bad places like this are.
So here's the thing: S_204 was criticizing OP for a specific comment OP made.
You then criticized S_204 for vague comments other users may have made.
Do you see the difference? Regardless of if your statement is true or not, it is irrelevant to criticism S_204 is making of OPs comment unless either one of these people are making the comments you are critical of.
Lemmy has a large user base with many communities. It's as relevant as running into a Vegan and saying "That's ironic considering how many people in this country eat meat."
Then the place to criticize that behaviour is on those posts, not randomly elsewhere to random people that didn't make the post.
If I took a glance in to that guys comment history, I bet I could find the exact strawmans he is making. I was just pointing out the silly the comment was about the GOP when Lemmy does the exact same thing in the opposite directing.
Then do it instead of making vague assumptions. You complain about Strawmen but all you do is Guilt by Association, Ad Hominem, and Begging the Question.
I'm just pointing out that someone making a criticism of a specific comment is not equal to vague statements about comments that may or may not have been made by other people not involved in the conversation.
