Thomas Sowell summed up the thought that it is nearly impossible to debate with democrats when he said, “It is usually futile to try to talk facts and analysis to people who are enjoying a sense of moral superiority in their ignorance.”

I heard a quote once and I don't know who to attribute it do but it goes something like this:
"Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down and beat you with experience."
Another good one:
“Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.”
-Mark Twain

12/02/24: I've seen the quote attributed to Mark Twain.
Never try to teach a pig to sing. It's frustrating and it annoys the pig.
Similarly, never try and teach the average person to think. Even if you briefly succeed, they will hate you all the more for it. So? Therefore? Don't stop. The road of thought doesn't come to an end - unless you are an average person. What does the above say about "Democracy"?
Mine is: “ never wrestle with pigs, you get dirty and they like it”
12/02/24: Thirty-forty years of the losers (Democrats) calling the winners (Trump et al) "losers." What a splendid deal! Finish last each year, and yet they continue to raise the price of the seat tickets (and get paid). I think they've plagiarized the NY Jets.
12/02/24: And by this, Hillary blew a billion running and failing, then Kamala needed a 50% increased 1.5 billion to do pretty much the same thing... say... what if they've been lying all summer, spent that amount of money but failed to collect it before spending it? What if the mainstream media (running ads) had secretly extended them CREDIT, figuring that the election was in the bag and they'd get paid after January 20, 2025?
