    About you? I don’t. But I care about all the others that have to be annoyed by this shit. This isn’t a political post. How about taking a break and just enjoy things for what they are instead of your usual attempts to manufacture arguments.

        You think this was me taking bait? Nope. This is just calling out a troll.

            Gotta be careful what you call them. They can get you banned.

              They have, in certain places, anyway. They are never alone, either. But i believe it is hyper important to have these conversations in the open. It is important to be aware of who is influencing people towards what ends as well, of course, but we must also be ready to call them out in the commons here along with the methods they use. Theyre much craftier than they were in 2016, presumably bc the left is that much harder to co-opt than the right.

                Oh I absolutely agree. 100 percent. And I do the same. But I’ve paid the price for it.

                  Given the fact that my upvote for u keeps ur comments scores at 1, id say it seems ur lightly paying the price via downvotes now :p

                  Again, calling attention to the problem helps, imo.

                    Right on. Yeah, making people aware that they’re here to disrupt and use bad faith bullshit to try and convince people to not vote absolutely needs to be called out- and frankly, I’m amazed that mods allow this bullshit under “free speech” rules.

                    I’m not here to advocate that Biden is a great choice, but I’d never side with the MAGA hats in any way in order to make a point about the political system in America.
