Exactly. If they can't call you a racist then the next retort is you're a sexist. If they can't find some term to call you that ends in "ist" they quit. I think the only reason they even have a discussion is to call someone a "_ist"

Because the only arguments they can form are an appeal to emotion, all of which has been backed by the MSM, Hollywood, TV, Academia, and to a recent point, online. The second the are met with any actual resistance, they fall apart because their arguments are wrong, as well as general complacency.

Which allows anyone familiar with the standard talking points spewed out of their mouths can be easily countered by someone who does a slight amount of homework. Take anti-gun arguments for example, most of us can probably resemble Neo deflecting all the stupid babble we hear anti gunners say on the regular, because it's so predictable. The danger with liberals arguing is they will often just make stuff up, and have no qualms with lying to try and win the immediate argument. In that regard, people with right leanings have to have the cognitive capacity of wikipedia to try and dispute an argument of emotion.

Same reason they do everything else, they are not very intelligent. Yes I said that.
Any person that cannot look at something from a logical manner is an idiot. Example: Voter ID is BAD, ID for Guns is good. Wait a fuckin' minute....they are both guarded rights under the COTUS, no matter your "feelz", the rules do not state an ID for either. I have also noticed that most of them immediately think of violence when the subject of the 2nd comes up. I dont understand this. That is down the list of things most people I know. Castle Doctrine? Most of us think of .....I get to defend myself, Them (Libs) "they'll shoot each other over a Twinkie". They are fucking retards. Not to mention ANYONE that uses the R vs. D (i.e) Us vs Them....I immediately lose all respect for. The division of the enemy crap is what they fall for.......Do they not realize that two wings are of the same bird? I am more hippy than all these stupid fucking Libs....and I hate Hippys.

When her friends did come at me before getting deleted it was talking points. When I asked them for how they came to this conclusion, nothing. Like when they said unemployment, I asked what about labor participation rate, full vs part time, and in what sectors are these jobs in. Crickets. |

Are you trying to convince anyone that your side is better and potentially sway moderates, or are you trying to just destroy the opposition. The left has pretty much all but killed rational debates in most regards, but you can still find certain outlets for it. In most cases, though, it's just easier to out maneuver the opponent and make them look like an idiot to everyone watching. Probably the best example of how the typical tactics employed by the elft against some one who is obviously much smarter than them is the Cenk Uygur vs Dinesh D'Souza debate. |

I've been wondering that for decades.
My sister-in-law would bring up gun issues and when I would present facts, I'd get told that I was being "argumentative" and my wife would tell me to quit being "offensive." Libs like to use the emotional argument. "Don't you care about children?" Yeah, I do. "So shouldn't we give every child a million dollars?" Where's that money going to come from? "Oh, that's not important." To support their emotional arguments, libs like to cherry pick facts. "Last year 50 million children were killed by guns." Somehow they expanded children to age 24 and neglect to mention that most of those children were involved in some sort of major crime. About ten or fifteen years ago Time magazine had their cover story about all the people killed in one week by guns. I read the article and did some counting. Around 80% of the killed were either criminals killed by other criminals, the police or their intended victims. The article didn't touch on that. |

Really, like others have said, Commies argue from emotion and ego, with the ultimate goal of them and their feels dictating every part of your existence. I have found it more satisfying to point at them and laugh, and fuck 'em if they can't see the joke. |

Same reason "conservatives" do. Most people lack real principle and just want the government to ban stuff that annoys them and give them stuff. Most people see the world in a binary, us v. them sort of way. Most people are unfamiliar with the fundamentals of critical thinking and debate. Most people don't want their minds changed and are uninterested in incorporating new information into their world view.

Because they use emotion and not logic.
Being faced with logic is their kryptonite. They want to do the nice, the good thing for others and they want to force everyone else to do it too. They however, have not thought through the mechanisms, the costs, and the impacts of doing those thing s. So when you do the thought experiment for them and then logically lay them out....they get angry and deflect it as you are an asshole because you aren't being nice. Then they can disregard your entire argument. |

The reason is this: Liberals have an external focus of self-worth wherein they feel validated only through the approval of others. This is why they latch onto all the feel-good issues that look good on their sleeves, but for which their feel-good solutions have little real-world value. Because their identity is so invested in their "appearance", and not any true internal identity, they are unable to admit that their external measure of valuation is bankrupt without condemning their own identity. When confronted with the hollowness of their identity politics, they face an existential crisis that is painful in nature. Like most painful things, the liberal attempts to avoid it so their usual finality is to name call, throw down the race card, or just throw up their hands in feigned indignation with their opponent and then leave.
I have a Facebook debate in progress which follows the typical course. The liberal gets trounced because they make it so easy. kenmack, APhD |

And it only gets worse when some mouth breather who is nominally on your side joins in and tries to "help" with a string of logical fallacies and weak, easily refuted arguments. A good debate is like chess, except you have to make several moves at once. You have to anticipate counter arguments and refute them before they are made, or lead your opponent into making them so you can make them look stupid. Much of what we do on teh interwebz is really just performance art. You're not changing your opponent's mind, but you might make him look stupid enough that no one takes his ideas seriously. |

Because the reality is they only know what they've been told. Liberals don't research. They listen to what the talking heads they support say, hear what they like hearing, say to themselves "that's right!" and then go on their merry way repeating what ends up being misinformation and half truths.
When you ask them for information behind the talking points they are merely parroting, they don't respond because they can't. The reality is, they don't know. They've got nothing. The personal attacks are merely a manifestation of learned behavior that the left teaches which is that any one not with you is an enemy worthy of dehumanization. Most of your friends, if you took them out of politics and had a disagreement with them about anything else, they would not react by demonizing you through the attachment of several liberal generated labels. This only happens with politics because it's what they've been taught to do. Disagreement isn't a difference of opinion, it's grounds for total excommunication, scorched earth. The left doesn't create thinkers, they create zealots. |
