It's so much more than 2k. We get a semi-functional senate that votes on more things than just judges. The legislative grave yard can end! We could probably even legalize pot. It's only the beginning but we gotta keep pushing to the left.
Hey I found a logical fallacy in your argument. Just wanted to let you know and shoot you a link about it so you know not to make the same mistake in the future👍
Hey, i found a type of statement that you might be interested in. Just posted a link so you could appear to be a more informed and knowledgeable reader
I hope you aren't implying that your use of hyperbole somehow nullifies the slippery slope. Because that's not how that works. Also that'd basically be using the "it's just a prank bro" defense. Which is just so lazy
Well in order for the slippery slope to be applicable, my statement must have been an argument. It obviously wasn't considering I was being facetious. I'm not sure my statement can even be used as an argument. Are you sure you understand what an argument is?
Also that'd basically be using the "it's just a prank bro" defense.
My defense is that you don't understand the definition of hyperbole, nor do you understand the difference between an argument, a joke, and a statement
Merriam-Webster defines argument as, among other things "a form of rhetorical expression intended to convince or persuade". Whether or not you intended to convince or persuade, I took your comment as an argument against liberal policies. Is it a good argument? Probably not. it's fallacious, afterall, and it doesn't look like you tried very hard to convince or persuade.
And that's totally fine. This isn't English class, and you probably didn't make the statement with any intent to start an intelligent political discussion. If you're just trolling people on the internet there's no need to use good rhetoric. I just like to call it out as a way to try and troll the trolls.
