The Democrat is still a jackass.

Because he's not saying the things that you want to hear and that's ok, that's your decision but I couldn't disagree more. I think he is well informed and well spoken. Clearly he has notes and seems to be taking notes throughout. I'm assuming that you, and many others went into watching the debate already anointing JD the winner before a word was spoken because he has the (R) next to his name which is also fine with me. I try to listen to the debates on the policies whether I agree with them or not. I thought both came across as intelligent, passionate and well informed. Both of them may actually be better candidates then their running mates.....

But coming across as "intelligent, passionate, and well-informed" doesn't mean he's not a jackass.

And, don't assume...

I didn't feel that either one was stupid. Did you?

You know I agree with you, but let me tell you where you're wrong... As if the only definition of a jackass is what Google found for you.

Let's just say a person with a (R) behind their name, like @ShawnOL, would say he's a jackass for the extremely progressive laws that passed in the state he was the governor of, laws that I think even you wouldn't support, so why call out Shawn and defend someone like Walz?

Is this where I step in and say that words mean what people think they mean? I know Bob loves that 🤣😅😹.

It's true though. And it's each person's right to be responsible with language, or irresponsible. If most people in the world think the word jackass means somebody stupid, and Shawn thinks it means that somebody who is Democrat, that when he says someone is a jackass, people think he's referring to someone who is stupid. If Shawn was actually referring to someone who is Democrat, then he miscommunicated with his intended audience.

If Shawn really means that all Democrats are stupid and therefore jackasses, then he communicated what he intended to communicate and it was received as intended. I think this is the case. Either way, people make assumptions, right or wrong, about the meaning behind your words.
