5 Easy Ways to Sound Like A Genius in Political Debate

1. Mention the industrial-military complex

As in "...yet to break free of the stranglehold influence the industrial-military complex has on economic policy..."

2. Casually accuse people of fascism

It doesn't even matter if you really know what it means or how to use it. It just sounds awesome.

3. Use name calling whenever possible

For instance, "Hillary Clinton" can become "Shrillary Clinton," or "Billary" to emphasize her co-presidency with her husband. Barack Obama becomes "Barack Osama," or you can simply mention his middle name (Hussein). Everyone with "Hussein" in their middle name is automatically a tyrannical dictator/Muslim/terrorist, just like Saddam Hussein. No exceptions! John McCain is "John McShame" or some people just say "Bush Lite." Nothing keeps it focused on the issues like good old fashioned high school name calling.

Clearly, if you can concoct some permutation of someone's name to put them in a bad light, you can completely invalidate their entire candidacy or point of view.

4. Never cite sources

State your opinion as though it is fact, because if you say it with enough certainty, it becomes fact. Some times it can be difficult to substantiate your opinion or other rumors with supporting verifiable facts, so the best course is to avoid facts at all costs. You can still treat it like a fact though. To highlight this you can even precede your sentences with "Fact:" as shown below.

Fact: Hillary Clinton is actually a robot sent back from the future to kill John Connor.

Fact: Barack Obama is a terrorist in disguise who hates America and wants to stop white people from playing basketball.

Fact: John McCain is a 1,240 year old man-crustacean hybrid sustained by feeding on unborn children.

See how easy that was? I just gave you three free facts that you didn't know before.

5. Type in ALL CAPS

Always a good rule whenever you're posting on the Internet, posting with your caps lock key jammed down lets everyone know that your point of view is way more important than theirs because your argument is completely capitalized. Sure, it might make it a little harder to read and annoy some of those faint at heart, but you're not blasting your opinion all over the Internet to make new friends.
