...as when the liberal debater refuses to answer a simple "yes or no" question, knowing that the true answer will lay the groundwork to defeat their argument.The most infuriating thing to conservatives when arguing with liberals is complexity. Conservatives tend to try to boil everything down to simplicity, the argument always starts when someone says "it's not that simple or clearcut."
Everything, no matter how complex, starts with simple principles. If you understand the principles involved in a discussion, the complexity later on makes more sense. If you disdain the basics, then any argument on complexity becomes little more than special pleading.
That's because those simplistic questions are usually some form of "Have you quit beating your wife?" and deserve no answer. Sorry if people don't dutifully fall into two easily identifiable camps for your convenience.
