Yeah, that’s a good point, I didn’t think of that.

That’s funny when you just keep saying things anyway. Making up more stuff again, eh? lol

That’s cute, but the point is that despite Hilary’s very broad appeal to the big dollar doners, she was beaten by Obama in 2008 due to his, at the time very novel, online small dollar fundraising campaign. She was again defeated in 2016, despite having far more money given to her campaign than Trump.

So the idea that the big doners actually dictate election results does not match our recent historical realities at all.

Kudos to the guy for doing the right thing, but lets be real here. What else was he going to do, just keep rolling?

“The waters have risen to the roof of her car, and her screams seem to have stopped now. This indicates these are very dangerous floodwaters folks, and I’ll say again that it is recommended that you never…”

All that aside, still humansbeingbros.

Tell that to Hilary Clinton.

Don’t forget Gamergate.

I think the reason the left doesn’t hit back as hard is because it feels sort of strange to do so. It’s difficult to acknowledge at the emotional level that we’re really back to just fighting for the most fundamental basics of liberty, equality and pursuit of happiness. Especially given how the right co-opted talking about freedom in general a number of years ago. Do we really need to rewind our level of discourse all the way back to the 18th century though?

Well, if those are the principles that are under attack, perhaps we do.

The bottom paragraph of the article states that they’re just as likely to say health care is a right and governments should pay more to help lift people out of poverty. So, there’s a disconnect between the identity and actual policy positions which I think is pretty key.

You’re doing the broken record repeating thing again.

By the way, I just noticed you went through and edited almost all of your old comments in this thread. How come? Like, you changed “ewww” to “yuck” a minute ago. What’s that all about?

edit: Reviewing a number of your other conversations, you do always get the last word, don’t you? I’m going to theorize that by always getting the last word, it helps you emotionally feel like you win all of your little battles regardless of the actual rational outcome.

Why ewww? What else should I be doing while I wait for some caffeine to wear off so I can get some sleep? And besides, there’s actually some interesting things about this.

So, uh, I guess you’re just going to keep helping me then? lol Anyways though, I find it absolutely hilarious you screenshotted that like its some sort of evidence of foul play or something.

Uh, yeah, sure. There’s nothing wrong with super long comment chains though. But what about yours? That’s what I’m curious about

Okay, but “true intentions” makes it seem like something nefarious is happening instead of fairly typical internet silliness. Anyways, only other thing I can think of is that you actually are just doing the last word thing. Are you?

… my true intentions? I’m not sure what’s so bad about just doing something silly. Something has to worry you, I doubt you’re just doing the “must have last word” thing. Aren’t you like 55 or something?

Sure. But I can still ponder and theorize. You’re very chatty, after all. While you seem to have no problems just making stuff up whenever convenient, it makes no sense that you’d bother with me in that case.

Perhaps you just like the comment count on the post to be as high as possible? I admit that’s partially what I’m going for.

Huh, that’s interesting. Now why would someone engage in conversation with me at all if they took nothing I say seriously?

You just keep repeating yourself like a broken record. Once again, of course you don’t have to. I’m just offering ideas in case anyone had a thought.

Once again, of course you don’t have too. So long as we recognize it means you have no basis for your opinions. Perhaps its faith-based?

Oh, but it is your problem. Not having sound reasoning means one is just making things up.

It’s not belief, it’s reasoning. If there was a sound explanation, you would lose nothing by offering it. Since you cannot, there isn’t one.

No, you don’t. It does however fully demonstrate you have no real reasoning though, veiled behind the flimsiest excuse.
