"On The Other Claw...."

But that's not an honest assessment of what I said. Because I also said, and so did other people, that on state and local elections, third party candidates can win. There are a fair number of Greens and independents and Freedom Party people elected to city, county and state governments. I also said that due to the particular nature of US federalism, local governments aren't anything to sneeze at. And you ignored it when I said it and you ignored it when other people said it. What you did was cherry pick your points (and I also believe in a very manipulative and self-serving way) while ignoring anything that is contrary to your position.

If you'd been more open to admitting that your position was not entirely correct, that there might be issues you hadn't considered, I would have gladly talked at great length about it. But it became clear that you had no intention of respecting the positions of the people you're talking with. Well, not really talking with – ranting at. When it became clear you had no intention of discussing the issue but merely wanted to vent your spleen, I admit I turned to sarcasm. ;)
