      Oh progressives are definitely weak. But numerous. A simple bare minimum vote would have stopped ALL of this from happening.

      But you couldn’t even do that. So yeah… weak as fuck if you ask me.

          Then you’re clearly not who I’m talking about. I guess it’s either that simple reading comprehension is an issue for you, or you have a white knight complex.

          One of the two- but my point remains untouched regardless.

            You used you directed at me, replying to me, twice. That’s not confusing, that’s you deflecting because you have no argument.

              I used “you” directed at you prior to knowing you voted. Did you not take this into consideration, or do you just have a problem with placing things in chronological order? Or is it that you did this intentionally?

              Because- it does come off as you white knighting yourself into a discussion that wasn’t even directed at you with the intent to trap me into some little “gotcha” moment.

              I’ve seen you pull this shit before. It doesn’t work like you think it does.

                You literally replied to me saying that.

                It’s a public fourm, anyone who comments is being added to the conversation. Jesus Christ.

                I’ve seen you pull this shit before. It doesn’t work like you think it does.

                So is this you at me or a nebulous other meaning “you” that only Rheori has in your personal dictionary?

                  LOL!

                  Wow. You aren’t good at this. Check where in the discussion you decided to reveal that you voted. Was it before, or after that?

                    “You don’t vote.”

                    “Here’s proof I voted and that I’m registered to vote for the least bad option.”

                    “Why would you reply that in a public conversation to me? Clearly everyone should ignore the words have meaning and public forums have people able to comment on them.”

      Yup, it was not lost on me that this was essentially Eco’s 8th feature of fascism. Not that the Democrats are fascists; they don’t match most of the other features, especially 6 (I don’t think it’d ever occurred to them to appeal to anyone’s frustrations), but it seems liberals have at least borrowed this rhetorical attack to punch left.

        I mean when you consider how much they benefit from Trump and his economic polices, it makes sense why they do. Not to meantion how many are some of the most bigoted people until its profitable enough. Scatch a liberal…

          I mean, I tend to believe that they’re actually just a truly incompetent, cowardly bunch that are too afraid to fight and too stupid to realize that a party can’t simultaneously serve a working-class base and billionaire donors. That being said, I’ve been much more open to the controlled opposition theory since Schumer caved on the budget for no conceivable reason.
