Good.
I'm not saying that the goal is bad. The way Sanders wants to get there is another story.

Or explaining why 2+2=4.

"I don't see[...]"Are arguments usually phrased like that, genius?
Sure, all the time on here. It's not a formal debate setting.
I know, I just wanted to be a smartass.
The GOP plans are pretty much fiscal dumpster fires, although Rubio has good policy when it comes to fighting poverty and Cruz has good policies on trade and healthcare.

Why the fuck am I obligated to defend my position to you, when I'm not the one arguing anything? Provide me with a reason to believe that Hillary's tax plan is so much better than Bernie's first, and then maybe I'll engage.
Why do we allow you in Serious again?

You just described yourself, your only function here is to act like an edgy redditor who just discovered Richard Dawkins.
literally what
Arguing about arguing shows that your opponent wasn't the stupid one in that situation, so there's no reason to claim you "Smacked" someone who was objectively right. Contrary to your name, you're capable of implications as well. You made the comment that you didn't see any better plans. Not only is that comment entirely subjective, but implies that we should do something bad anyways just because there isn't any other good outcomes by "your" reasoning. Hence, you DID argue that point regardless of whether or not it was intentional on your end.
Literally none of this made any sense. The mental gymnastics are insane.
I never made an argument. Saying that I did doesn't make it so. Sorry.
Yes you did. Your argument was implying that Sanders plan was the only "Good" one because it was the least shitty out of all others.
