    And if they are less willing to participate, Trump gets in. And it gets worse for them. So, as I said, not voting or voting for Trump is not going to help them. Feeling betrayed won’t change the fact that there are only two options and one is inherently worse than the other.

      Ok. Now that you’ve said the thing to someone who is already gonna vote the way you want, we’re still where we started.

      No amount of wagging your finger at me is gonna change the political reality I described. The party betrayed them, and the party lost their votes.

      Treating your constituents like hostages isn’t consequence-free.

      Scolding me about it isn’t gonna change their minds, but I get the feeling that you’re gonna do it again anyway.

        Scolding me about it

        What the ever-living fuck? Your first comment to me was scolding and you haven’t stopped scolding me since. Would you like me to quote you?

        My god, the hypocrisy of that.

          Oh, I thought my first comment to you was expecting you to run the entire Democratic Party because you knew that speculation was going to result in answers you didn’t want to say.

          Guess you stopped pretending.

            I never said you expected me to run the entire Democratic Party. Why are you lying now?

            EDIT: Proof you’re lying-

              I never said you expected me to run the entire Democratic Party.

              I’m not sure why you’re asking me as if I control them.

              Doesn’t sound like a response to scolding to me.

                As I showed in my edit where I pasted it, that is expressly not saying you expected me to run the party. I’m not sure why you’re doubling down on your lie.

                Here- I’ll even expand it to show your lie in greater detail.

                Please triple and quadruple down. That should be rich.

                  That wasn’t a lie. As your screenshot clearly shows, I asked questions that you didn’t want to answer, so instead you freaked out and pretended that I was acting like you control the party.

                  Now, what part of my comment was scolding? Because that was a massive lie on your part.

                    No, you asked me questions I couldn’t answer. I didn’t freak out or pretend anything. Those are lies. The screenshots prove they are lies.

                    As far as scolding, here’s just one example:

                    Of course, once you found out I was disabled, you claimed you weren’t talking about me, which is clearly nonsense.

                    Now, unless you are going to admit you lied, I think I can safely block you and move on to scolding other people for choosing to vote the way they feel is the best way to vote.
