The motte-and-bailey fallacy (named after the motte-and-bailey castle) is a form of argument & an informal fallacy where an arguer conflates 2 positions that share similarities, one easy to defend (the "motte") & one much more controversial (Bailey).

The right is desperately trying to frame the working class protests in France over a widespread cost of living crisis as angry Muslim and immigrant savages rioting for no reason. It’s a full admission that the American right believes lying is the only way to sell their message.

The Delivery Protection Act is an incredibly important bill protecting workers rights I’ve been proud to campaign on. I’ve been knocking on doors telling New Yorkers about it, and most I’ve talked to have been supportive of it. www.huffpost.com/entry/mamdan...

They're not going to drop this line of attack just because Talarico uses weasel words. It's only going to increase with Musk's ad spend.

Here we go… Talarico says “I oppose trans athletes playing in girls sports if it endangers safety or fairness.” It doesn’t, but Talarico is begging the question: does he believe in trans sports bans?

Let's run AOC for President 🌹 She's the best candidate to beat establishment Democrats in the primary, and MAGA in the general.

In Kips Bay, there is a Fairway Market, a Trader Joe, and a Lidl all within 2 blocks from each other. They all appear to be thriving. The notion that a single added market in each bureau that charges 30% less on certain staples will cause neighborhood bodegas to fail is so utterly stupid.

Israel hates journalists enough to kill them. For 45 years, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) was supposed to fight against that. Called "journalism's Red Cross," CPJ was founded by Americans who refused to stand by while journalists were jailed, beaten, or killed.
