I feel fairly confident I don't need to use 'no true scotsman' to argue the fact that no one with a "D" after their name asking Zuckerberg a question today has ever said "Kill all white people."

On the other hand, Cruz wasted our time, and more importantly, the time any other member of Congress would have had to ask something important, asking Zuckerberg about a Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day page that was deleted for 12 hours, yet failed to mention the words "Cambridge Analytica." Hmmmm.



>no one with a "D" after their name asking Zuckerberg a question today

I can't even see where the goalposts have gone.


> Ted Cruz clearly showing that he's a partisan hack. Didn't give a crap about users' privacy or the issues at hand, he had to make it about 'liberal Silicon Valley' and 'conservative persecution'. What a joke.

Couple of different "goal posts" here


Fair enough, although I'm entitled to interpret posts in the pure context of their parent.


Feel like there's a few different things going on in your comment, but I'll focus on -- who are you blaming for "shifting the goalposts"? I believe I'm trying to return focus on the "pure context" of the grandparent; it seems disingenuous to argue I'm, at the very least, the only one shifting the goal posts.
