You agree with Flagpole because you’re smarter than everyone else, but you’re both too dumb to see that Joe Biden is little better. Common sense ain’t so common, and something you both lack. You’re the Tom Sawyer of whitewash suckers.
It's always funny to me how it's only the stupid people who brag that they have "common sense".
Appealing to "common sense" is one of my pet peeves. It's used often to declare an opinion, "Joe Biden is little better (than Trump)" here as if it is an objective truth that is so obvious that it requires no supporting evidence.
In fact it's usually a lazy rhetorical trick to avoid, consciously or not, presenting a substantive argument for that opinion.
