Popularity does not equal truth—this is a fundamental principle anyone with a modicum of critical thinking should grasp. The reliance on \"common sense\" over \"intellectual babble\" is a classic anti-intellectual stance that fails to recognize the complexity of political and social issues.

There are solid reasons why people hold different beliefs, and it’s important to recognize that. Just because someone supports Biden doesn’t mean they are blind to his flaws; they might see it as a strategic move to maintain party unity and avoid the greater risk of a Trump presidency. It's better to deal with the chaos you know than the chaos you don't. These are unprecedented times we are in, and people are rightfully terrified. \n\nHave you considered the potential consequences of a Trump presidency, and how seriously do you take the threat it poses? Have you thought about the kind of chaos it might bring in the future and how it could impact our society?\n\n>Rather than being a stubborn contrarian, maybe you should actually consider whether your arguments are truthful or not.\n\n\nIf you think I'm being a stubborn contrarian, let's get something straight. My arguments are grounded in facts and strategic thinking, not blind allegiance or intellectual babble. It's easy to throw around accusations without engaging with the substance of what I'm saying. Instead of dismissing my points as contrarian, perhaps it's worth considering the broader context and the long-term implications of our political choices. Being critical and analytical doesn't make my arguments any less truthful—it makes them more robust and necessary in a landscape filled with fleeting trends and shallow analysis.

You might have your opinion on Biden now, but now you're defending Bernie for supporting Biden. Your stubbornness is clouding your thinking and it seems you're struggling to adapt to new truth.\n\nYou’re mistaking steadfastness in principle for stubbornness. My support or critique evolves with the political landscape and the practical implications of these changes. My past criticism of Biden's critics was contextually based, and as situations change, so must our perspectives. Bernie’s support for Biden, despite his criticisms, is a strategic move to prevent a Trump presidency. This is not contrarianism but a nuanced grasp of political strategy. Adapting and reevaluating based on new information is a strength, not a weakness.\n\nBy labeling me contrarian, you're making assumptions about my motivations without engaging with my arguments. It seems like you're more interested in attempting to psychoanalyze me rather than addressing the points I raise. If you have issues with my rhetoric, consider the rhetoric of those I respond to. I often match the energy and tone presented to me. Criticizing my approach without acknowledging the context of these discussions presents a skewed view of my behavior. Again, it seems like you're engaging in armchair psychoanalysis, which we both know you're not qualified to do.\n\nIs it fair to judge someone's tone without considering the tone and context of the interactions they are responding to?\n\n>Anyone reading the polls or the news for the past couple of months has known that Biden isn't a great candidate, and it seems like maybe you only recognized it after the debate or so, along with mainstream liberals and the media. \n\nRecognizing Biden’s flaws isn't new to me. Strategic decisions often involve choosing the lesser evil. My critiques are based on continuous analysis, not sudden shifts influenced by media narratives. How do you distinguish between a genuinely strategic political decision and one that is merely reactive to media narratives?\n\n>I'd really recommend you reconsider your opinions recently on here and whether they have been more aligned with truth or your desire to always be correct.\n\nStanding by well-reasoned arguments is about maintaining intellectual integrity, not about always being correct. My positions are grounded in thorough analysis and a commitment to truth, challenging popular narratives when necessary.\n\nReconsidering opinions is always valuable, but it assumes they weren't formed through careful consideration. My stances reflect a strategic and pragmatic approach, not a desire to be correct at all costs. Engaging in meaningful debate requires recognizing the validity of different viewpoints and the depth they can bring to the discussion.",

"content": ">My past criticism of Biden's critics was contextually based, and as situations change, so must our perspectives.\n\nSo you were wrong, but in order to protect your ego, you have to cope and say you were \"contextually wrong\"? A bit of humility goes a long way. \n\nBIden's approval rating was around 33 percent in August 2023, and today it's about 32 percent. People have disliked the Biden admin since inflation became a problem. Anyone analyzing the issue in a truly unbiased perspective could have seen reality as it is - rather than always trying to be contrarian while unknowingly absorbing and repeating DNC talking points as if you're really making an intellectual discovery. \n\n>Again, it seems like you're engaging in armchair psychoanalysis, which we both know you're not qualified to do.\n\nFair.\n\n>How do you differentiate between genuine wisdom and mere popularity when evaluating widely held beliefs?\n\nBy evauluting the matter based on the merits. Biden's approval rating has been in the 30's since August of 2023. Any objective observer could have told you that Biden was unlikely to win. Yet you had Democrats saying he was guareenteed to win, and I think you may have fell into that falsehood. \n\n>Reconsidering opinions is always valuable, but it assumes they weren't formed through careful consideration. My stances reflect a strategic and pragmatic approach, not a desire to be correct at all costs. \n\nThe main problem is that your arguments follow a logical syntax, but you miss a lot of premises on which to build your argument. While there's a logical flow, you miss a lot of inputs, whether common sense, whether polling data, whether general sentiment or your own contratrian bias that makes your analysis weak. \n\nI'd highly recommend not using ChatGPT, not falling into Reddit or liberal groupthink, and really analyzing these issues on the basis of what they are and not what you wish them to be.\n\nThat may help you come closer to truth rather than being perpetually wrong.\n\nEdit: Biden has just stepped down from his re-election bid. You were unconditionally, unequivacally, undoubtably wrong about Biden being the best candidate. \n\nBe humble.",

But would it not be incredibly inappropriate to stop talking about Palestinians getting murdered, and the dire spot our election is to dissect this entire situation? There are massive YouTube channels that are in that realm of content and have made their in depth analysis. Why are people attacking Hasan like this is anywhere near his political wheelhouse?\n\nEdit: it’s been made apparent to me I need to clarify I am not a member of above subreddit hahaha it was a post suggested to me because I’m in a Hasan subreddit.

A lot of us older folks react negatively to being called out but I try to learn from it. \n\nI'm going to be honest I grew up in a generation where a 17 year old having sex with somebody in their mid twenties was actually not that big a deal. \n\nA ton of girls in my high school did something close to that with their college boyfriends.\n\n25 is late to be pursuing a 17 year old. It's just that I've known of couples where the guy is 22 and the girl is 17 in real life. \n\nModern neuroscience tells us that most humans reach cognitive maturity in their mid twenties. \n\nIf I'm being completely honest I don't think a 25-year-old should be thrown in jail for having sex with a 17 year old. They are weird as hell but I'm not entirely sure it's worth imprisoning.\n\nWithin one year we consider that 17-year-old an adult.\n\nZoomers strongly disagree with me. They consider it clearly rape. \n\nThey expected somebody like Hasan to react to it about the same as discovering Cody Ko put roofies in Tana's drink or something. \n\nAnd by that standard Hasan did under react\n\nEdit: if I wasn't clear meant to give credit to young people for caring more about problemic age gaps.\n\nI am trying to say I think zoomers are correct to be hypersensitive about problemic age gaps\n\nIt just wasn't like this when I was 17. 16-17 year old girls used to date college guys. \n\nI think it's progress that they don't.\n\nI think we used to let kids be adult too soon as a society.\n\nI just know too many couples that started in an age gap that would not be ok today\n\n\nEg.
