Actually no action my my part will stop you for claiming that I try to sabotage dems chance of winning
Nonsense.
When your whataboutism stops, my criticism of your actions (I'd go after anyone else doing that shit) will just evaporate.
If your initial post and comments were all about We need AOC, and/or All AIPAC candidates need to be replaced, you'd have support instead.
Whataboutism is hypocrites like you're favorite word. There's no whataboutism about holding all politicians the same when they use the same rhetoric. When Hillary claimed Iran was seeking a nuke without proof, she was wrong; when Trump says the same thing, he is wrong.
So you want me to only keeps about the good democrats? You are proving again that you think like a cultist , you don't want people to criticize the warmonger on your side only about the warmonger on the other side. I am sorry but I will keep condemn bad people no matter what is their affiliation and praise them when they do something good.
Tl;dr: I will do what I can to discourage democrats from voting.
No, you'll increase the volume and quantity of Democrats Bad/Just as Bad/Whatabout Hilary rhetoric.
You will do so with passion. No one, and no thing will stop you.
Maximal engagement regarding who isn't in power, Minimal engagement about the current atrocities being committed by the current regime.
It's what you have been doing, and what you will continue to do.
I appreciate you incurring psychic damage to ensure this troglodyte knows their place.
I'll never know whether it's freelance or if it's paid gig work, but I have a low tolerance for anyone that schleps for Trump.
I certainly won't track them, but they will absolutely keep yipping in the exact way that I described, and will ramp it up as the midterm elections approach. It will be measurable, and there will be little to no anti-Trump rhetoric in their content.
I appreciate your kind words on psychic damage, but between you and me, I get tremendous joy out of making asshats go bonkers by just describing what they're doing.
Tl;dr: The Democrats are just as bad as the Republicans! See? Look how similar they are!
Whataboutism
It's not a favorite word. It's an accurate one.
An accurate word for what you're doing is strawmanning
Congrats, you've earned the tag illiterate and mrdowns alt account.
Lol, you fucking dork
