  • You used the word “insane” in reference to my previous argument. In effect, you called my argument insane, thereby calling me insane. Therefore, you used ableist language. Perhaps you deem my logic as poor, but you’ll notice that I have not tried to demean what you have been saying (nor have you offered much in the way of solutions, either. Perhaps that’s spreading….nothing to other people?).

    I am in fact not ignorant and try to remain up to date on the current political landscape. This is evidenced by the fact I provided a link to Biden’s SCOTUS reform plan, which you did not comment on other than to say shorter term limits wouldn’t solve any problems. Maybe you’re right, I’m not an expert on that matter — I’m curious if you are.

    The rules the GOP are using are fascist in nature. They want ultimate power for the president, something that the founders (no matter how problematic they are) didn’t intend when they created checks and balances, considering they had just left a monarchist institution. Therefore, if he just used the power given to him through the SCOTUS ruling, he’s effectively no better than the GOP and is failing to adhere to the rules laid out in the Constitution. It seems to me Biden has been trying to keep rights for folks in place, maybe not to the level most people — even me — would like to see (barring his shit with Gaza right now which is just abysmal).

    You can continue to call me ignorant, I guess I could do the same to you. I guess I just don’t want to have an argument like that.
