“Florida Democrats don’t know why Taylor Swift is naming an upcoming song on her new album ‘Florida!!!’ or the reason she chose to hold three concerts in Miami less than a month before the November elections,” Politico reports.

“But their excitement around the news is less about ‘why?’ and more about leveraging Swift’s celebrity status to fill the blank space for beleaguered voters tired of losing to Republicans.

    Twice now you’ve invented positions for me, based off nothing that I’ve actually said i.e. straw man.

    Lame dork.

          I haven’t made up shit. I stated what it looked like and they failed to repudiate it followed by calling me names.

        What argument???

        argument /är′gyə-mənt/

        noun

        1. A discussion in which disagreement is expressed; a debate.
        2. A quarrel; a dispute.
        3. A reason or matter for dispute or contention

        Please, tell me what I’ve actually said that qualifies as an argument.

        Not what you’ve imagined or mystically determined using tea leaves or tarot cards, but my actual words.

          Exactly. The points you put together made no argument. I asked “so what?” And indicated that the points as presented appear to be the same points people use/put together to say: “so don’t vote.” / are used by the same group of people who are trying to disenfranchise or discourage voting. This is a common propaganda technique.
