  • If you’re still asking this question, you are either a disingenuous troll or you are beyond help. You obviously haven’t spent even five minutes trying to understand why the U.S. is still funding Israel and the general positions of the two candidates and instead feel that time is better spent riffing on the same Lemmy buzzword.






  • Way ahead of you. When trying to persuade, you need to know your audience. I’m going door to door canvassing, and having conversations with voters that have these concerns. Those conversations, meeting people one-on-one with empathy, has a profound effect.

    In contrast, here, I was responding to someone who was obviously acting in bad faith. I’m not trying to convince that person, but making sure others observing the conversation don’t feel gaslit and second-guess the reality others are trying to distort.

    I’m not as dense as I might appear. However, I do appreciate you calling me out so we can have a conversation like this. It’s important, and it helps us all learn and grow.
