      I voted for Bernie in the 'primary, I voted for Biden and I’m voting for Kamala. Trump is a piece of shit insurrectionist that should not be on the ballot.

      If every time someone on your side points a criticism you do this game, it’s the exact same thing the Maga crowd does with labeling anti - trump Republicans as RINOS.

      If all you care about is labels and how fast you can pin someone in a box so you don’t have to engage with a conversation that says more about you.

        People have engaged with your comments. The ardent defense of Rittenhouse does not match with progressivism.

        Especially in context of Rittenhouse becoming a right wing hero and not regretting his actions.

          This is another weird thing. Because I’m interested in the facts of the matter people assume by default that I’m interested in defending Kyle. I don’t care for Kyle. I think hes a pos. But this weird response is always like the top comment I get. You’re not A so you must be B. So we can’t talk about the facts of something without the need to box someone in.

        I’m quoting you here:

        “As a European that lived in America briefly (ten years) I was very shocked when I encountered the gun culture there.”

        “I voted for Bernie in the 'primary, I voted for Biden and I’m voting for Kamala. Trump is a piece of shit insurrectionist that should not be on the ballot.“

        How are these two things possible without you being a liar?

          What part is hard to believe exactly? I moved to the US in 2012 from Italy. I lived there for ten years. While I was there the gun culture was something I never really got accustomed to. What part of this makes me a liar? I’m so confused.

          Edit:

          Guys. I have dual citizenship. My mother is a US expat. I can vote in both Italian and US elections.
