You insulted me first, so yeah, I’m going to hit back. Go ahead, read up the comment chain. You attacked me, you got nasty with me, and then I responded in kind. I’m not going to just let you punch down on me and take it. Go ahead, be smug that you provoked me.
You’re dodging because you don’t have an answer. Maybe you didn’t read it the first time! I’ll post it again for you:
What is the mechanism of action that makes marching or petititons or emails work when your vote is already locked in?
Pointing out that your position is terrible is not an insult to you. Just another one of your dishonest arguments, like how you misrepresent every thing that is said to you instead of engaging with people honestly.
At this point, I can’t see you as anything other a troll. Talking to you is like talking to a religious fundamentalist. You have no respect for the other party you’re speaking to and only speak down from a position of moralistic arrogance.
And if you’re not a troll, then jesus… be better than this.
Man it’s unfortunate that you privileged moralizing purists are not as reasonable as Biden.
Here you are, erasing my transness and insulting me by calling me a privileged moralizing purist, as if I don’t already compromise so much by voting Democrat. As if I hadn’t already compromised all sense of purity when I voted for this fucker the first time. As if I haven’t spent so much fucking time agonizing over my politics to come to my conclusions, as if I’m just a “fundamentalist”
If you sit on your ass and every for years you make a protest vote in support of the greater evil, you are the exemplification of the “idiot swing voter” who is so dumb they vote against their own interest.
Here you are, accusing me of sitting around doing nothing and being a dumb idiot.
You’ll probably reply with some more insults and straw man arguments like you’ve been doing, but some other user whose mind isn’t closed with arrogance and whose thinking is not blinded by their own privilege might see then and realize just how blind, foolish, and self-defeating this purity position is.
And here you are, calling me closeminded and arrogant. Blinded by my own “privilege” - again erasing my trans body and life.

And then you cap it off by just degrading me as dishonest, as a troll, as a disrespectful moralist.
You’ve insulted me over and over, read up the comment chain. I think you’re confusing me for someone else. All I did is point out that you are nothing to Biden. Your voice is irrelevant, because of your own positions, that’s not me insulting you! Again, like a dog that can vote - and no, that’s not me calling you a dog, that’s me saying you have as much impact on Biden’s positions as one.
And yeah, maybe saying you’re like a dog was too far, but that was after you’d already insulted me over and over. Come on.
Log off. You’ve worked yourself up too much to have a reasonable conversation.
Contrary to what you think, I’m not trying to provoke you. Yet you’ve been getting highly provoked anyway. My “shitting all over” your comment was actually me explaining to you how your stance does the exact opposite of what you think it does. I took the time to explain it in detail, and you didn’t acknowledge any of it. You just dug in deeper and took it personally almost to the point of having a meltdown.
I don’t know what else to tell you. I’ve been trying to have a discussion here, and it feels like you’re trying to have an argument. I haven’t seen any effort on your part to discuss genuinely, just fighting and moralizing. Any challenge to your position is taken as a personal insult, to which you then respond with hostility and dishonesty. That’s why I think you’re a troll.
It sounds like we both agree this was a waste of time, so let’s just let it end here. Next time we can both try to do better.
And there it is, just as predicted.

There it is again.
Look dude, if the shoe fits, wear it.
If you don’t want people to think you’re a troll, then do better than this.
You. Started. This.
Right here.
I made a sincere comment, expressing why I am withholding my vote, you shat all over it. I got upset. I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings.
Is this what you do? Provoke people until they react and then mock them for reacting the way you want? And you’re callingme a troll?
I would not have wasted so much typing and emotional effort trying to talk to you if I was a troll. I’m just fucking stupid.

If you don’t want to provoke people, don’t call them “privileged moralizing purists” or say that our positions are “awfully stupid”
Put plainly, thems fightin words. I engaged with you seriously and you jumped down my throat, and then act like I’m the problem for reacting.
