I love political drama in the news, yes. And other people do too, that's why it's in the news. That's how news orgs make their money. They report on drama, then get clicks, then get paid.
I'm not scared of Trump. I don't care if he wins (I don't think he will though). I don't like him. I don't like Harris. So again, I like Jill Stein. Even tho I didn't vote for her.
You think it's cringe. Cool. But that doesn't make me a troll. That just makes me a person you are annoyed with. That's a different thing.
I ain't scared of Trump neither, brother! He's helping our cause of ending democracy so the devil-jesus can return to his rightful place on the throne. Something about duopolies too!!
Yes and lots of people are racist. Just because a lot of people do something doesn't make it good. Take a look at what drama is, the anxiety, stress, and pain it can cause people who are actually tied up in it. I think it's fucked up to like that shit honestly.
You think you're not a troll. Cool. Doesn't make what I said any less true. It just makes me a person that said something you're annoyed with. That's a different thing. Hrmmm...
But it also doesn't make what you said any more true. You gave your opinion. I gave you mine. You called me names. I didn't call you names.
And if you think calling someone names is some line that is crossed I don't know what to say. I could be very, very mean to someone without calling them names but if they tell me to "stop you jerk" they're somehow worse or distinct? That's a really odd distinction but ok, you're welcome to your own world view.
And if you think that calling people names is NOT crossing a line in a forum, then I don't know what to say.
We have different opinions on that. Obviously.
Wait. So if I say to someone: "You seem very uneducated and unable to understand the most basic of concepts. I'm trying to talk to you and you sound like you've never had an intelligent conversation before. You sound like you've never talked to a person older than 5. I could explain this to my 10 year old and he could teach it to you. Would that be more your speed? You look like you can even begin to understand a single word I'm saying. You're lack of basic reasoning is hurting everyone around you and the world will be a better place when you're no longer in it."
And they say "you're a jerk" they've crossed a line? Not me? Jeeze man, yeah we do have a difference of opions.
That would be more my speed, yes.
Lol, fair enough. If you own it and stand by it not much I can say.
