I’m sure you’re attractive. You have a winning online presence.

I’m here to help!

I’m sure you’re attractive. You have a winning online presence.
I’m so glad you pointed that out. I’ll be using clown fractions moving forward.
In this equation, you are playing victim by painting yourself as “opposition to genocide.” When called on this, you pivoted to pretend the poster was insulting victims of genocide
I wanted to tell you that kind of cheap pivoting technique doesn’t work here. I’m entirely against genocide and stand with Palestine, but this grandstanding is intellectually dishonest and makes you look like an entire clown.
I won’t be replying further on this.
I have zero trust for “there will be consequences later.” I’ve been seeing that over and over and over for years. If the judge says this is obviously contempt and chooses not to address that now, I am no longer capable of optimism.
I need that gif of Jon Oliver with the “We got him!” banner.
I gotta be honest. I’m relatively plugged in and I keep straight up forgetting RFK Jr. is even a thing.
The same way I keep forgetting the Tiger King is running for president.
Perfectly said. You speak my experience, here in the US.
I feel like we’ve been taken hostage, forced to watch atrocities, and made powerless to stop them. I remember being outright mocked by my adults when I tried to do the least thing to change it all. I thought by the time I was an adult, I could do something… but those same adults are still alive. They’re still mocking me.
A snapshot; when I was in high school, I watched No Child Left Behind pass. I wasn’t old enough to vote. I knew how fucked every single student would be who came after me. I talked about it with my classmates! Not one had anything positive to say about it! I called my representatives. No one listened. They told me to grow up and change it myself, then stood in my way when I tried.
I hate knowing that the dread over it all and the soul-crushing inability to change anything is still going to be preferable to trying to survive what’s coming. It only makes me feel more guilty.
I flipped up through the chain and only now am I seeing all the edits they made. I knew something was screwy when they replied to my reply to myself- dude was camping this thread. Definitely not a good faith.
I do not have the energy to argue with such a waste of time. I don’t understand people who find enjoyment in “arguing” like that person does.
If you were genuinely trying to get answers to “why isn’t the president begging for votes” you would’ve answered me when I asked what the hell that means. You proved it’s not your genuine priority by trying to get me to defend a point someone else was making instead.
Get outta here with that Crowder bullshit. If you’re asking questions and you want answers you’ll be happy to explain your position, not point at someone else and try and change the topic at the first opportunity. And assuming, generously, that that was a mistake, you wouldn’t have doubled down on “well answer my rhetorical that I refuse to define for you first or you’re just proving you can’t debate me!”
All of the time I spent typing this was on the very, very, very slim chance you mean well but are an ineffective communicator. Since that’s statistically unlikely, feel free to reply however you like. I have no interest in continuing with you further.
My mistake. This is why I don’t engage in politics threads online. You never know when someone is being serious and has an actual answer and is capable of a dialogue versus when some jackass just wants to waste your time.
Man, pivot really is your only move.
I asked you what begging is supposed to look like here or accomplish; you tried to get me to defend what someone else said. I point out I’m not them and I asked you a question; so you pivot again to "my statement with a “yeah?” at the end is now a question so address that first.
I’m cutting my losses. You’ll just move the posts to try and force me to address whatever it is you think I should be addressing instead, because you don’t actually have an answer and you’re not interested in a real discussion.
Feels bad, man.
I didn’t ask about or address what someone else said. I asked you a couple questions.
I never comment in politics threads. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth and invites the kind of discourse I try to avoid recreationally.
But I had to reply to you because a) it’s weird how much I’m seeing the word “begging” lately, and b) what kind of “begging” should he even do? “Please, please, please vote for me?” And how would that change things at all? Or even help?
This is entirely because he wants to recapture the magic of “Lock Her Up” as a chant.
Here where I’m from in the US, you occasionally hear a “y’alls” and now I’m going to start using it as a cultural gap between your dialect and mine.
I hesitate to ask why so many people are sitting at an interrogation table, but I don’t know that much about interrogation…
I didn’t support anything. I pointed out that your language is condescending, which tends to make people uninterested in the message. And if you’re intentionally alienating people then what are you trying to accomplish?
I don’t think you’ll succeed much by referring to anyone as a plebian. It’s just animosity for animosity’s sake.
No, no, no.
