    Once Biden stepped aside and endorsed Harris, Trump’s entire campaign strategy was upended, making him the oldest candidate on the campaign trail and exposing faults in his logic.

    Wtf, “exposing faults in his logic”? Why do the media continue to do everything they can to portray Trump as a reasonable man making logical plans for how best to govern?

              Because this is common knowledge and you can google the information for yourself. You’re attempting to interject doubt into the conversation using a dog whistle.

                I don’t know if OP is a republican but I find their response strange, almost like they got caught chatting shit.

                As far as I can tell comicsands.com is associated with George Takei which seems to refute their assertion that it’s some far right publication.

                  I wouldn’t assume they’re a republican, just that they assumed you were sealioning when you weren’t.

                So the concept that if you state something as a fact you should be able to prove it, that’s just not something we do here?

                  So if we were having a discussion about WW2, and I mentioned the Holocaust, you would make me prove to you that it’s real before continuing the conversation?

                  Or… Is it something that has been thoroughly researched, with a general consensus among experts about the specifics so therefore doesn’t need to be proven every time it’s mentioned?

                    Of course not. I was asking OP to back up their statement that www.comicsands.com is some kind of QAnon organization. How is that unreasonable?

            Your assertion is that www.comicsands.com has “RepubliQan owners”?

            I’ve looked and I can’t find any evidence to support that and the fact that George Takei is involved in it suggests you’re wrong.

            Also, I don’t see how asking for evidence to back up an unsupported assertion is “sealioning”. Are you sure that’s the term you wanted to use?

            Here’s more:

            https://www.comicsands.com/editorial-staff-2585174525.html

            https://jaykuobooks.com/about-jay/

            “Jay is the founder and CEO of a digital publishing and social media company that rather unexpectedly grew the internet empire of actor and activist George Takei to tens of millions of followers. Jay serves on the board of directors of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest civil rights organization serving the LGBTQ+ community, which Ma once described as the “trendy” people.”

              No, that’s just your bullshit strawman argument.

              The claim was that “the media” (as in, most of it in general) has Republican owners, not comicsands.com specifically.

                  Floof mentioned the media.

                  So the republican comment could’ve been media. Wasn’t 110% clear but that’s prolly how I might read it.

                Ah I see, I mostly know it as “Just Asking Questions”, which I guess shows my age… and Rational Wiki’s…

                Btw, don’t use Rational Wiki as a source, it’s largely focused on being snarky and satirical as opposed to factual and unbiased. It also isn’t as well-maintained as it used to be leading to the quality of articles going down hill.

      A combination of “The owner of the company is a right winger” and “We need to make both sides look equally incompetent, even when one side is shitting himself and the other side has actual policy.”

      Used to it was just the latter, now we also have the former.
