I have to make the observation that your rather transparent attempts at avoiding the conversation (via changing the topic, erecting strawmen, attacking me) do your side little justice.

IMO, ignoring real world political facts does your side little justice.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion. I suppose little remains to be said; I'll leave it to third-parties to decide who among us is making an earnest attempt at considering the facts at hand.
