CreateDebate is a social debate community built around ideas, discussion and democracy.
If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.
To learn more about the CreateDebate scoring system, check out the FAQ.
When you are ready to voice your opinion, use the Add Argument button to create an argument.
If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.
What kind of democracy are we in where this many people are hoping for a case to go to SCOTUS because the justices were both chosen by, and politically aligned with, the POTUS? It keeps me up at night thinking why anyone would think it is okay to root for a biased SCOTUS decision; then when they have the unmitigated, unadulterated gall to remain unbiased, Trump supporters are not only upset, they say that the SCOTUS is now fraudulent.
(BTW: To clarify, since I know how Trumpers are: any Trump opposers are left-wing Biden lovers, I am independent and I think both choices were equally terrible so I did not vote. If I could vote for anyone, I would have voted for Mike Pence--who I also think is terrible, but he would have been the best option, IMO.)
They're not supposed to. It isn't his personal SCOTUS, the "OTUS says it ALL! He is, as his niece and sister say, the most dangerous man in the world! The SCOTUS is supposed to see that that type of individual doesn't take over our judicial system. They haven't done a good job .... in fact, TERRIBLE! Hopefully, they are waking up! The ma ... um ... "individual" should NOT be "saved". He should pay for the damage he has done to this country .... and the WORLD!

Completely agree with you of course, but I think a lot of people in this era are forgetting (or were just too young to remember) how dangerously mad the last Republican administration was. I suppose it's much easier to focus on one bad president than it is on an entire cabinet of crooks and liars.
I'm certainly not too young to remember. The Republicans were "mad" during the last Democratic Administration. Moscow Mitch was just getting started .... MAKE HIM FAIL! He didn't. Could have done a LOT more, but wasn't allowed! Still, he's a rock star around the free world, while Trump is only welcomed in the .... nether-world, by crooks and liars .... and butchers and murderers of the radio-active type! The SCOTUS, whether he appointed them or not, should vote to imprison him!
What would be called group think? Excon's opinion that Trump would be unlikely to appoint people he didn't think would vote for him? That's called accurately assessing Trump's behaviour, not group think. Stop being such a rabid little fascist, Bronto. You are obsessed with attacking the left.
Leftism is group think
Lol. Yeah, that must be why the entire Republican Party was prepared to turn a blind eye during Trump's impeachment hearing. Because leftism is group think.
Look, just fuck off you little Nazi. You're annoying.
keftism actually is a form of group think, known as collectivism.
Dana, please will you shut up? You don't have the first idea what you are talking about. Collectivism is the belief that the species itself is more important than any one individual within that species. It has nothing to do with group think.
You are literally a fat extreme far right idiot who is too stupid to even understand she is on the far right. Or that she is a victim of "group think" herself. What do you think organised religion is? What do you think "patriotism" is? Fucking group think, that's what.
I have the right to speak, and group think or collectivism, is the idea that the collective should take priority, or have rights, as opposed to the individual. It is not a crime, for me to disagree, with your opinion. Stop pretending, to be God.

Oh, OK Dana. So if I, as an individual, propose we ban your egregious religion from the face of the Earth, then my wishes as an individual are more important than the collective rights of the church? I am glad we agree on this, you fat stupid retard.
People, as individuals, have rights over the collectivist beliefs of the church. Your religious "liberty" does not extend to forcing unwilling individuals to listen to your stupid 12th century, retarded collectivist nonsense. Does that compute you fat retarded twit?
I never said anything about forcing anything, on anyone
You just literally told me you have the right to preach the gospel at me whether I like it or not. I don't want you to do that, hence force. When I am literally having to explain to you what words like force mean, then my chances of a productive conversation are not good.
If you don't want to hear the Gospel, don't talk, to me. If youtalk to me, I have the right to share the Gospel. You don't have the right to claim harassment, because you are the one harassing, me. Fly away, little bird, don't shit on my car.

So you're talking to me now, which gives me the right to point out that you're a fat evil retard who makes false rape claims to try to get other people into trouble. You're disgusting physically and you're disgusting as a person. I'm glad we had this chat and cleared up our rights.
Yes I can sue you, for publically, lying about me.
😆
Yeah, good luck with that you crazy bitch. I don't even live in the same country. Why don't you go ahead and see if you can have me extradited while you're at it.
Interesting. There is no point, to what you are, saying......................................................................................................
Not in my presence they don't, because you began this conversation by arguing that individuals have rights over the collective. You are therefore now arguing the precise opposite of what you were arguing at the beginning of this conversation, hence why talking to you is so pointless. You're just such a fucking idiot. You're an idiot who tries to warp reality around her own beliefs instead of the other way around.
No I'm not. I have the individual right to preach the Gospel
Dana, you're just so fucking dishonest and boring mate. All you are doing is abusing language. You're purposefully misrepresenting something which is collectivist by its very nature as something which is individualist. You haven't come up with the idea of Christianity as an individual. You've read the Bible and/or gone to church. Religion is collectivist and only survives by inculcating individuals into its collectivist belief structure.
Stop turning language upside down and fuck off. It was the right supporting the supreme court's decision that corporations should have the same rights as individuals and it was the left which was protesting it. It was the right which suppressed the rights of homosexuals to marry and live open lives, and it was the left which protested it. So take your fat retarded arse over to a minefield and have a little dance.
Are you able to debate without going off topic, or is that tpp much for you, dear? This conversation, is not about me, and will never be about me, copy that?

If you want to debate then stop sticking your fat sausage fingers in your ears every time somebody disagrees with you. Abusing language is not debate. Refusing to read what other people write is not debate. Contradicting yourself is not debate. Deflecting every criticism back at the accuser is not debate.
You keep coming back. Why? You aren't intelligent or reasonable enough to have a rational conversation with anybody unless the person you happen to be talking to also happens to be a rabidly mad, militant Christian far right nutbag.
We are bpth off topic. What is your answer, to the debate, title?.......................................................................................................
You are free to leave, at any time.......................................................................................................................
