    Misrepresenting what someone says is a textbook example of bad faith so doing that in a discussion about bad faith is ironic to say the least. What he actually thinks is unrelated to this discussion as it’s about what he said. You’d call people out for twisting your words so hold yourself to the same standards.

      You are appearing more and more bad faith, or just plain grossly ignorant, and willfully so… If you won’t accept the truth, the truth that is being handed to you, with references, by other people, then prepare to not be part of this “echo chamber” for much longer…

        I don’t consider anything I’ve heard so far to be the kind of evidence that would indicate what I said is somehow false.

            I don’t even know what truths you think I’m not accepting here.

            I don’t change my views because people bully me for them. I change my views when someone demonstrates to me that they’re worth changing and that haven’t happened in this thread. What ever convincing arguments you may have seen clearly have not been convincing to me.

      Not believing lying sociopaths is not bad faith, and I’m having trouble accepting that you’d actually think it is. I’m not sure why you’re so hung up on mango mussolini anyway, as this discussion started when I claimed that the right lied way more than the left. The president wasn’t responsible for all the lies the GOP has told for the past 50 years, although he sure does have more than his fair share.

        You’re misquoting him - that’s bad faith. Whether or not you believe him is a separate issue. When you criticize someone for what they said, you should address their actual words - not your interpretation of them.

          Again, this discussion isn’t about him. You said both sides have plenty of bad faith, which is wrong. In light of this discussion I’m beginning to see why you can’t understand the differences, or just refuse to.

            this discussion isn’t about him

            It’s you who brought him up with your smug “fine people on both sides” misquote and its him you’ve been talking ever since. Only now you’re moving the goal posts back to what I originally was talking about.

            You said both sides have plenty of bad faith, which is wrong.

            What are you even claiming here? That there is no “plenty of” bad faith on the left too?
