    Thesis of the column first, support for it second. This is a fine model and only breaks down when people are too damn sloppy to read 1,000 words before writing a response.https://twitter.com/jbouie/status/1382471950732251138 …

    crank, my sincere advice is you should lay out the thrust of your argument within your 1st 200 words & that throat-clearing for the length of a column before getting to your point — which even then is unclear — is a recipe for being misunderstood as often as you seem to be. https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1382470893180452864 …

        It's not 1,000 words, though, is it? It's 1,000 of YOUR words. Let's not pretend they're the same thing.

        Y'all get so upset at being accused of modern Jim Crow tactics, yet literally all of your arguments could have been (and were) made by Dixiecrats at the time Dixiecrat: Progressives only want to pass the VRA to make it harder for us to win elections! Progressives: I mean, yes?

        Asking to unrig a game is not asking to rig it for your own benefit. Democrats are not asking for special advantages, they're asking for neutrally applicable rules that make it easier for everyone to vote. But b/c conservatism isn't popular, this is seen as rigging for Dems.

        The most hilarious part is where you get mad about stuff you call anti-democratic while writing in a publication that’s been dialing “democracy is stupid and we should have less of it” up to 11 lately.

        You are a poor writer... All men are mortal (major premise), Socrates is a man (minor premise), we may validly conclude that Socrates is mortal. Syllogistic arguments are usually represented in a three-line form: ... Socrates is a person. Therefore, Socrates is mortal.

        I’ll ask the question, have you noted any opposition to the actions of ALEC? How about Kock brothers? Oil companies using propaganda to derail environmental regulations?...

        ...if you can point to articles you have written decrying the power and influence of corporations on the state and local governments and the writing of various tax law and regulations, then I’m genuinely willing to listen to you...
