There you go!
You've been wanting to tear into me this entire time.
I hope you feel better now!
Anyway.
I don't think I could've asked for a post that more perfectly illustrates literally every point I've been making thus far.
So thank you for that!
Really, about the only thing left to say is this:
Even if you were right about me, which you are not, you have wasted this entire time needlessly prosecuting and needling me.
For what?
Instead, you could have been actually talking to someone like this.
I'm not trying to single out PwrdOn.
It's just that their post shares many of the common (and largely valid) points and frustrations that I keep seeing from Progressives in online convos, like this one.
You could've been reaching out positively to them.
You could've been using your empathy, listening, establishing rapport, and building consensus.
You could've been making sure that they are being heard, that they do belong in DNC, and that voting for Joe is absolutely the right thing to do.
Instead, you're witch-hunting and scapegoating because it's easier and it feels good.

I gave you numerous chances at having a good conversation, and you blew it.
I don't think you're this naive. Your motive do become suspect when you dodge questions about trying to get the left elected, other than feelings and refuse to hold the left accountable for worse activities. By encouraging not to argue with the bad actors you normalise their behaviour and let them continue there agenda unopposed. You won't even say tankies are bad.Anyway.

Because your arguments weren't as concrete as you thought they are and when asked about the problematic aspects all I got was dodging and ignoring.Even if you were right about me, which you are not, you have wasted this entire time needlessly prosecuting and needling me.

We could have been but you weren't interested in doing that. Anyone who posits that it's only the Centre-Left's responsibility for everything online isn't getting the benefit of a doubt. Certainly not again and again, as with these responses.
Retire the schtick - tell us how you really feel.
Finally, something we agree on.I'm not trying to single out PwrdOn.

Due to the current political, health and environmental climates, it is believed the sheer incompetence and hubris of the Trump GOP administration will allow, if continued for another term, for hornets and Coronavirus to merge so the following will happen within 14 days without strict social distancing.
So, a someone recently accused Biden of 'complimenting her breasts' when she was 14 years old. This person is apparently related to Christine O'Donnel (yes, the Not a Witch Christine O'donnel'.
Predictably, the story made the rounds on outrage twitter as proof of Biden raping Tara Reade.
It has now been proven without any room for doubt that Biden was never at the event this is supposed to have happened at in question.

(Okay wow, she deleted her thread due to criticism over the way it started, given that it made it sound like Biden was guilty when the records clearly indicate he wasn't, something she states down thread.)

No offense, but people post a lot of garbage.
I have found responding to every line item to be exhausting. Especially if it didn't interest me to begin with.
It also leads to undesired tangents.
By selfishly disregarding that which is inconsequential or not of interest, I can ensure that the conversation stays on-topic.
Couple of things:
- I pretty much have spelled out where I stand and who I'm voting for.
You just don't want to believe it.- I shouldn't need to pass a Party Purity Test to offer an insightful critique or useful advice on how to win elections or build coalitions.
A good idea is a good idea. Why focus on the messenger? I'm not even really saying anything particularly ground-breaking.
My posts can essentially be summarized as "If you want Progressives to vote for the DNC, and not leave the Party, maybe listen to them, stop misrepresenting them, and stop scapegoating them for the Party's failures".
It should be common sense, and I am a little flabbergasted at the amount of resistance that message has received.
But if want to keep wasting time, by all means, keep making wildly off-the-mark conspiratorial assertions about my political inclinations.
I'm actually, perversely, really enjoying them.
AP Reporter Alexandra Jaffe reports:
New: Tara Reade told me the report she says she filed regarding her issues with Joe Biden did not explicitly accuse him of sexual assault or harassment.
And in light of what happened on this thread a few hours ago, I wholeheartedly agree with this tweet:
As this Reade story falls apart don’t lose sight of where it came from. This wasn’t Russians, this wasn’t Republicans.
This was Bernieworld. This was an attempt to steal the nomination by smearing a good man as a rapist. This is who they are and they’ve shown us time and again.
