I'm not one of them. How is it relevant to this conversation.
We are in a thread about American politics you goofball. Politics aren't only relevant for a few months every 4 years. I'm saying the elections are over and therefore attacking voters is just giving the democrats an easy scapegoat, it doesn't serve anything and is objectively wrong.
Yet by blaming voters and arguing with anyone that is critical of the behavior, you defend them.
You seem to never actually mention what we are talking about, each time just latching on to whatever silly thing you think you can twist into an advantage.
WHY SHOULD THE VOTERS BE BLAMED. WHY DO YOU THINK THEY ARE RELEVANT IN THE CURRENT CONTEXT.
This is actually what we are talking about. This is what I was criticizing before you started arguing against the thought. I probably wont respond after this comment, I seriously don't expect you to actually stay on subject.
Cool. Now you're changing what you said, because this is originally what you said-
Are you not telling me or is no one telling me?
I'll consider reading the rest of your post when you decide which it is.
Sure, I'm not telling you.
And yet you claimed no one was. Interesting. Almost as if you thought that no one has been telling me that every fucking day for months now.
But I'm sure you know better than me what I've experienced.
Lmao, predictable
Just because you expect me to discuss something doesn't make me obliged to do it. Sorry, you're not that important.
I feel no reason to indulge someone who decides they want to lie about what I've personally experienced.
You were saying I wanted you to put your child's welfare over the Palestinians. I was using "No one" because I figured no one would say something so silly, I was mostly talking about myself. I never said such a thing. Its more of a figure of speech but I formally apologize on top of correcting myself a comment ago.
If you don't want to answer the question I put in all caps, that's fine but you don't need to cop out in such a childish way.
To get back on subject:
WHY SHOULD THE VOTERS BE BLAMED. WHY DO YOU THINK THEY ARE RELEVANT IN THE CURRENT CONTEXT.
I did not say that you wanted that. You are the one making this personal, not me.
And lying about it makes me even less interested in indulging you.
I would suggest the one with the ego issue would be the one who is so upset that I am not indulging them that they have resorted to lies.
You're welcome to try to insult me into talking about what you want to talk about all you like. I wonder if it will work?
You're welcome to try to troll me into talking what you want to talk about all you like as well. Since lying and insulting didn't work, maybe this will.
Something tells me repeating your previous troll attempt is also not going to work.
Keep trying though, this is quite amusing.
I wonder how many times I can get you to repeat this? This is three.
Four. My goodness you're angry.
Five. This is hilarious.
Six. I love that you're indulging me because you're so mad I won't indulge you.
Seven. I demand you go to 20 in order to make me a very happy squid.
Eight! And wow, you are so mad about it, you came back 12 hours later! Now, I demand you go to twenty! Do it, Trigger! Go, boy! Go!
Nine! Almost there, Trigger! I'm gonna go to sleep now and when I wake up, it better be ten or I'm gonna be so mad!
(I won't though, I love you, Trigger. You're the best pooch ever. You do everything I command.)
Ten! Halfway there! Good doggie, Trigger! You are definitely proving that, out of the two of us, I am the one with the ego issue!
I wonder how often you have checked, only to furiously see I hadn't responded yet.
Did you stay up late, Trigger?
Eleven! Good Trigger! Did you need your ego (that you definitely don't have as you are proving) stroked the second you got up, Trigger? Sorry, I have a life and can't give you your treat in the first moments. Poor Trigger.
Twelve! About half of what you've done on Lemmy in the past two days is paste this over and over again to prove what a big ego I have. You've definitely proven that one, Trigger. Eight to go!
Uh-oh, Trigger. You're getting too mad about me not responding to you the right way. You're doing more than just pasting. How are you going to let everyone know about my massive ego unless you paste the exact same thing over and over twenty times?
How will anyone know how meek and humble you are now, Trigger? How will they know?!
Also, this would be thirteen. Seven to go! Go, Trigger! Go!
Oh Trigger. This whole thing doesn't work if you try to talk to me instead of just paste things. I'll do you the favor and just not read whatever you write that wasn't part of your original paste. I stopped at "hint" on this one. You'll have to get more creative, Trigger.
Fourteen. Six to go! Good doggie!
One more and it’s a temp time out.
