i can still allow for them to be misinformed and or differently oriented- so not necessarily evil. as for fucking them over, i don’t care so much about that directly- i have more modest ambitions. i want people to see how often there’s a great big elephant in the room that you’re really ‘not supposed to’ talk about. eating 20 downvotes for an innocuous comment is revelatory

sorry in advance for the strays you’ll catch for saying as much… yeah, its heavily brigaded/astroturfed just about everywhere you go, nowadays. we’re to believe this is the common sentiment because by god, look at how many downvotes they can muster… i’m ambivalent, the truth isn’t something they can bully out of my hands

you still talk to democrats, curious.

yeah i wanna know if that bias was before or after apr 24

and op is wrong to implicate only republicans… so i guess we’ve come to some accord

did biden have to sign?? can you at least admit it was bipartisan or does that shake you to your tribalist core?

“On April 24, President Joe Biden signed legislation requiring TikTok parent ByteDance to sell to a U.S. owner within a year or to shut down.”

“On April 24, President Joe Biden signed legislation requiring TikTok parent ByteDance to sell to a U.S. owner within a year or to shut down.”

“On April 24, President Joe Biden signed legislation requiring TikTok parent ByteDance to sell to a U.S. owner within a year or to shut down.”

before or after the democrats tried to shut it down?

“and feel offended if I want to concentrate on my duties instead of talking to them” this sounds like projection to me and its hard for me to shake that assessment… keeping to yourself is generally navigable and most people understand and accept others’ social orientation. are you maybe informed by a singular moment that you’re dwelling on? as for being ‘on the spectrum’ that means vastly different things from one point to the next and if it doesn’t complicate the advice people are willing to give to you, it could be a crutch you’re imbuing with more dependence than is necessary.

very simply, i would continue seeking dialogue because we benefit from multiple points of view. if you can’t always find fruitful dialogue, analyze your beliefs and attempt to find patterns and underlying explanations that might come out of your personal experience- and steelman your opponents by assuming they have subjective realities that led them to theirs.

just saw that clip today… this guy is exactly what you expect of the dnc- they’re signalling they haven’t learned a thing. hope democrats are looking forward to jd vance and co.

because they’re paid to be.

ouch, the community didn’t like that kind gesture you’ve bestowed upon another user… look at how they react…

it literally does not.

critizing the democrats doesn’t automatically equate to “support of republicans”, you illustrate a big obstacle for reasonable discourse

but did you watch the big lebowski yet?

and although we’re ostensibly at odds-- you’re welcome to discard the suggestion, but its a great movie if you haven’t seen it yet

ahh that’s a reference to the big lebowski… sorry, its the internet and referential jokes are doomed often to fail.
