Why do conservatives think pretending to be too stupid to understand simple concepts is a good way to argue?

@sandman66 There are more positions than conservative and Democrat. That is a very weird dichotomy you are proposing.

"more positions" explain please

@sandman66 Conservative is one specific right wing ideology. Democrat is a center right political party in the US. There are loads of other right wing ideologies and Democrat isn't an ideology at all. Not only are there loads of right wing ideologies there are loads of left wing ideologies as well.

@sandman66 A two-party system does not mean the planet only has two political positions. There's literally thousands of different ideologies.

@CountScrofula No, no, no. Hitler, Mussolini, Hannibal, Julius Caesar, Kubla Khan were all conservatives, and Mao, Lenin, Marcus Aurelius, Henry VIII were all Democrats.

I use the term democrat nowadays to define anyone other then republicans/conservatives. The reason being is there are no more conservative democrats. Sadly, that's a thing of the past. They're all left wing, bomb throwin, commie-pinkos who embrace socialism. They need to go back to the 70's and watch the Jim Jones videos. All those fools thought socialism was great too. Where are they now? Dead? FWI, don't drink the cool-aid.... it's a killer.

You have some major logic problems there. Does this sound reasonable to you...

"I use the term pumpkin nowadays to define anyone fruit or vegetable that isn't green. The reason being is there are no more green pumpkins."

...?

Pumpkins were never green therefore cannot compare something that never was. Democrats used to be moderate therefore, different from liberals...they aren't any more, therefore, they are all one in the same.

@sandman66 Talk about missing the point. xD Let's try this a bit more formally then.

Say there is a set A and a set B with no intersection. Do you think that if x is not a member of A that implies it is a member of B?

Not by using a Venn diagram.

@SW-User Sets in SW! My joy! I admire you, Kali, my friend.

Replace the word democrat with any/all the above: liberal, socialist, communist, progressive..... They're all the same.

Liberal = pro capitalist with government intervention
Progressive = pro capitalist with programs to help people who struggle
Socialism = anti capitalist society where the means of production is owned by society as a whole
Communism = anti capitalist stateless society where the means of production is owned by the workers

@pagandad Democrats are corporate shills. In what universe is that compatible with communism or any left wing ideology?

@pagandad Bullshit

@Harriet03 If the Democrat party was left wing I'd be a lot more excited to participate in politics.

@SW-User Like I said, all the above words (liberals, progressives, socialists, communists) are now interchangeable with the term "democrat". Hey don't get mad at me....I didn't make it that way.
