      And is your tactic making life better for the millions of women who can no longer get a safe abortion?

          I enjoyed reading your replies to this dolt. I think they try to exhaust you by muddying the water but all he’s done is make his position look utterly stupid and exhausting.

          I think his goal is to make people afraid to engage and silence others from posting? Or maybe it’s simply to waste your time. Either way, I appreciate your attempt at engaging this bad faith “I’m on your side no really” actor.

          Yes. I have been told (though they could have been lying, but I don’t see why they would) that I have convinced people to switch their stance.

          Does surreptitiously threatening to shoot people change minds, you think?

            Honestly come to think of it, I do blame you and people with your attitude for the rise of fascism in the U.S. “”“Centrists”“” kept tolerating them for decades, and they kept feeling more and more emboldened.

              No one has ever called me a centrist before. I strongly support a UBI, universal healthcare, subsidized housing.

              You’re just lashing out because you’re angry and frustrated and don’t know how to channel it except threatening violence.

                  I have not once “tolerated” fascism. My entire point is that people, like you, are shit at changing minds and in a democracy, you have to change minds.

                  Threatening to shoot people isn’t going to change minds. Claiming that anyone who is anti choice is a fascist certainly isn’t going to. It’s like you’re itching to shoot people.
