    calling me delusional is a personal attack. it’s inappropriate in this community. if you have a rebuttal to I have to say you can articulate it in the context of the validity of ideas.

      If someone says that switching to the gold standard is viable, that’s delusional, and should be called out as such.

      If someone says that an independent without an independent support base and no established political experience who has jumped several parties already has a serious chance at the presidency, that’s delusional, and should be called out as such.

      Being offended doesn’t change that.

        this is just a defense of your personal attack, which is still inappropriate. if you can’t engage with the material, use the vote buttons and move along.

          You have fun playing tone police over an objection to a candidate not having a realistic chance.

              If you legitimately think that and aren’t just trying to worm out of taking responsibility for your own offended schtick, then report me. But I’m pretty sure saying a position is delusional is not a violation of the community rules.
