Day without stupid: redux

So the Rick Perry is saying Texans would rather go without power at a time when they are without power and therefore unlikely to have internet access to see that he is saying that or respond to it.
I think Rick Perry is saying he thinks Texans are stupid.

That was my initial take, but I know Rick Perry is stupid, so all bets are off.
 
At this rate, Texas appearing in glossy reddish-brown on 2024 election maps won't be because it's leaning Republican. All fatalities are the result of grossly incompetent government officials & private corporations too busy doing the electric slide with their money than preparing the grid.

"Waaah why are you only focusing on Republicans waaah".

You are mocking, but you are making a good point despite yourself. The PD is supposed to be for "The academic discussion of world issues and politics." It is not supposed to be a partisan wank-fest. This is not Democratic Underground!

So considering you claim to care about academic discussion, will you stop making threads along the lines of "idiot does x"? Because that's, quite frankly, fairly non-academic, and more along the lines of what tabloids do to generate outrage porn. I'll stop making such threads to set an example.

I’d ask you to contribute but we don’t like the same kind of images that get posted on 8chan

Since this forum is supposed to be for academic discussion, should baseless conspiracy theories about election fraud be allowed? After all that's merely propaganda to push an agenda, and not particularly academic discussion. :consternation1:

:coffeespray I thought said propaganda was the topic of the academic discussion, not the academic discussion itself.

But Derec's argument was that we shouldn't allow this to be a "democratic wankfest". Ok, fine. But if a Republican goes around spreading election fraud conspiracies, and other Republicans join in and support it, that too constitutes a "wankfest". So if we are to have "academic discussion", no wankfests.
 
There's absolutely no reason that examples of elected officials' stupidity in this thread can only be selected from Republican elected officials.

If Derec has examples of similarly stupid actions or comments by officials who are members of other political parties, he's welcome to post them.

That instead he complains about it being a "partisan wank-fest" strongly suggests that he fully understands that only one of the two major parties in US politics is likely to feature strongly in any display of abject, extreme and/or laughable stupidity, and that he doesn't like that fact.

Facts don't care whether anyone likes them.
 
In order for it to be a wankfests, does not all participants have to be willing to wank? If some in the room aren't wanking then it's not a wankfest. It just a few attempting to convince the rest in the room to wank but are met with academic refusals in disgust.

Right, it's like the gop admitting they are the party of white supremacists when they complain that 'cancelling' white supremacy is censoring republicans. They're admitting a lot more than they realize. ;)

A lot of right wingers vehemently deny being right wingers. I'd expect a lot of left wingers to also deny being left wingers, but for some reason, I don't see that. Maybe because I'm a "left winger"?

I think he has tried that (quotes from AOC and others) but they fell flat when context was provided for the excerpts he posts. Kinda like his attempts to assert "reverse racism" in order to cancel 400+ years of white Americans' oppression and genocide of ethnic minorities.
