    You inserted yourself into a conversation I was having, in which the other person (P03 Locke) was disputing Stewart’s assertion that the country would not be over, and asserting that

    This is a question of whether democracy dies in America.

    That is the context in which I felt it is necessary to define Democracy.

    You then jumped in and said

    When I say “Trump is eroding our democracy,”

    Despite the fact you had not actually said that previously, and that it is a different stance from what P03 Locke said. They never asserted Trump was eroding it, they said he would be killing it.

        I didn’t say you can’t participate, but you jumped into a thread in which 2 people were discussing whether the country and democracy were going to come to an end, and then immediately said, “well I never said anything about the end of democracy”. That’s cool, but it’s completely irrelevant to the discussion that P03 Locke and I were having.

        I also note that you have no response to any of the actual points I made, so I’ll assume you have nothing to add.

        Lastly, I’d love to see which parts of my comment you consider “an entitled tantrum”. Is it just the fact I pointed out that you introduced an unrelated point and then acted as though I’d been arguing against it? Because that’s definitely a ‘you’ problem.
