You need critical thinking skills to care more about the president being a pedo than about pwning the other political side.

But it's not that people lack critical thinking skills, it's that they blithey bypass them for a whole host of reasons.

The problem on the left is they think rational arguments win fights. They don't. Emotional arguments, world building, identity, etc, win fights.

The second problem left is that the best emotional argument we have--the rich want to eat us all--endangers the Democratic Party's funding.
