The satire works because normal people know Democrats are only smart in their own heads.
Democrats sound the alarm!

If "normal" people were smarter perhaps they'd be able to come up with more than a meaningless one sentence response.

Neither is thinking every long stretch of words is gishing.

You know that Gp has TSS (Trump's Smart Syndrome), don't you?

How come that is not a handicap for Trump who is only smart in his own heads.

Eh, I only engage with him as a means of flushing out my own thoughts and views. I have no expectation he will ever come back with a response worth taking seriously.

Greyparrot is one of the best debaters here in forum. Besides, I have challenged you to a debate many times so you could show "your views" to me, but I didnt get response.

In forum, the debating is completely different from formal debates. He could write 5000 characters and still get disproved with one sentence.

I do a lot of investment speculation, and the forum has been a great tool for predicting market trends since DoubleR has proven to be consistent and reliable about presenting the view from the radical far left. If I want intelligence, I read books. I come here for information, which has profited me greatly the past 2 years. Just paid off my 2021 Camry last month :)
I know DoubleR thinks I only come on here to "own the libs" but that's just the motivation I give him to keep providing me with valuable market information I otherwise would not have.

A very unserious comment clearly meant to troll. GP doesn't debate, he ignores 95% of what's written, focuses on that one sentence or two he has a response for, then offers his usual one line talking point straight out of Newsmax, in most cases having absolutely nothing to do with the conversation.

I don't have much interest in debating. I rarely post on weekends or evenings because once I'm home I have other things to do so like 90% of my posts are written on a train back or forth to work with no service or on a break while I'm at work. A real debate takes time to research and prepare arguments, I am not interested in that commitment right now.
Besides, my views are made clear here. What could you possibly want to get out of me that you don't think you can get here?

One sentence only works to refute an argument to those who already disagree with the position. That's not "disproving" anything, all it's doing is rehearsing your biases. If you think that's a legitimate form debating in any forum then you don't understand the concept.

I see.

Well, you didnt respond to request to debate in forums either. I challenged you few days ago to debate in forum about spanking, yet no response.

One sentence can indeed refute, if it is obvious truth and negates the position and thus, negates arguments presented.

What I understand is that forum debating consists of many posts, and wasting too much arguments to just one post is inferior. I could make 1000 of short posts on some topics, already prepared, just copy paste one by one, and person would never get the last word in forum on me unless they are prepared to spend weeks responding to thousands of posts.

Because I'm not interested in debating spanking.

That's exactly my point.
If I write 5k words establishing X, and you write one sentence arguing not X, you didn't refute my argument, all you did was restate your position at the outset. That's not debating in any rational sense.

The only thing that makes forum debating a problem is if the person you are engaging with is not serious. Formal debates subject you to a vote so both sides are incentivized to bring their best arguments, but they're not about understanding. In a debate you're talking to the voters, in a forum you're talking to each other, so it's just a question of what you're trying to accomplish.
I like formal debates and would engage in them more if I had the time commitment to make, I did almost 50 of them on DDO. But I'm not single anymore, I'm a husband and father now so I have other priorities. I'm just here whenever I have a moment to poke my head above the sand. I'm almost home as I write this so it's unlikely I'll respond to whatever you come back with till tomorrow.

Thats kinda weird, but okay. You would lose that debate anyway.

This is what you sound like when you poke your head above the sand. We hear you.

Well I think it's weird that this is a topic you're particularly interested in.
To each his own I guess.

You support spanking. I strongly disagree and challenge your view.
