      Please do not be abusive and personally attack posters rather than their beliefs.

      This is an obvious sign of “my team” rather than logical thought.

        There’s nothing more to discuss, good sir. My arguments remain unchallenged. Like I said, I’m simply playing with the food that is this rhetorical discussion and referencing famous applicable adages. Sorry if you misconstrue this as attacks on the person. Certainly not my intention! I promise I’ll refrain from such ad hominems!

        This is an obvious sign of “my team” rather than logical thought.

        You can make this argument once you respond to >80% of my points that were deflected.

        Anyways, I’m pretty happy because my initial comment was heavily up-voted. I already won long ago.

          You’re posting a popular opinion in an online echo chamber and taking a victory lap over up votes?

          I can make the opposite post on a right wing site and get more up votes, that doesn’t make it more valid or a “win”.

            Your attempt to wedge-drive fell on better-informed ears here and only reinvigorated the existing population here to turn out for BIden. Your objective failed spectacularly. Better luck next time.

              I’m sure you will spark the change you desperately seek in the world by being belligerent to other people in a meme community.

                Belligerent? Good sir/madam I’m merely reflecting the tone and sincerity I receive. Ethics of reciprocation is something I live by! If you find me to be belligerent, then one need merely look in the mirror.

                  I have yet to attack you rather than the content of your posts.

                  I can make an exception here though: you talk like someone on reddit athiesm subbredits back when it was front page. In this moment, you are euphoric.

                  Know that if your preferred candidates lose, contributions such as yours are suppressing turnout. Source: minority polls are tanking, and the only response seems to be to guilt trip rather than offer real solutions or representation.

                    Real solutions necessitate getting obstructionists out of the way. Minority polls are beginning to swing back as Democrats actually begin campaigning as of last month. I’m not too worried, for we know early polling yields no valid data and the concerns will be addressed.

                    Meanwhile Trump will be stuck in trial after trial as he attempts to grift more of his followers for every last dollar they’ve got to pay for his legal expenses as opposed to actively campaigning.

                    So again, yeah, I’m actually more confident going into this year than 2020 OR 2022 midterms :)
