I can’t wait for Democrats to accuse one of their own of being a Russian asset.

    If you think I have snuck in an unwarranted assumption, you should say what you think that is. Surely it would be to the benefit of the people you are speaking to.

    (Or are you just broadly casting aspersions that you can’t substantiate?)

      Look I’m gonna engage with this for the benefit of people watching. I’m not engaging in personal attacks as you’re attempting to imply. I don’t want to “own” you in a debate. I want the people reading this to look more critically at the opinion you’re trying to insert without directly saying, so that they’re better inoculated against this kind of stuff in the future. Just saying “you opinion bad me good” doesn’t do that! Of course if you wanted to have a truly gigantic brain and “own” me you could openly name the assumption you’re trying to push, and show it isn’t an assumption (which is your job to do as the person making the argument, by the way, unless you’re a “prove there’s no bigfoot anywhere” type individual)

        What opinion am I trying to insert?

        you could openly name the assumption you’re trying to push

        I literally have no idea what assumption you’re talking about, and I’m starting to suspect you don’t either.
