Take a minute to contemplate the absurdity of what you just said. I am being obtuse for not accepting that saying someone is a "fine candidate" doesn't mean they are a fine candidate.

You aren't reading with anything resembling the slightest amount of comprehension.

Nothing I've said is absurd. If you can't comprehend that the phrase "a fine candidate" can be both an accurate assessment of a candidate's credentials and faint praise simultaneously, you have no business trying to understand politics.

Nothing I've said is Orwellian in the least. There is no destruction of words here, and you are being either obtuse or disingenuous. Which is it?

I understand politics just fine. And you are a prime example of what is wrong with them nowadays - that words have no meaning.
