It's funny, in my head I was thinking "this person is probably going to take this part and say something about voter disenfranchisement." As if me typing something that generic about democracy was even remotely a comment about voter disenfranchisement. I feel like this is just for fun on both our sides here at this point, right?

Seriously, do you see what's happening? That's you subjectively interpreting a plain boring comment and making it into commentary on what you would like to talk about. We can talk about voter disenfranchisement, it's a horrible problem, but please don't just come to grand interpretations about what you *want* to be happening in my head. I mean a politician couldn't have used that technique better themselves. It's called diversion, tune in to any debate to see real life examples!

Then why didn't you rephrase it?

"everyone gets a say, even centrists, what a drag"

Yea it is. You can recognize a drag as a reality and work to change it, and failing that call it out as a drag at every opportunity.

Just because you chose to roll on your back and piss on your belly for literally nothing, just because lib cable news told you to, does not make you moral, and it does not make you a Politics Knower.

We already established you By Your Logic Judoed me into exposing myself as the Real Racist. I'm the bad guy here, and you, the dude refusing to even qualify your support for the guy who exists as a political entity by denying an entire generation, of every black person in his state, a chance at an education and a better life, are the real Leftist. I mean, Jesus Christ dude, you've been to an anarchist bookstore we get it you're basically Jesus you win already.

Asked and Answered dude, come on, move on already.

"what a drag" was tongue in cheek. I never even claimed to be a leftist, liberal, whatever you want to call me. Labels just aid insecure people in casting judgment and shame on others. I sincerely hope you don't assign people IRL labels like that. How's that for punk? Or do I need to find some lyrics to back that sentiment up? There's a lot to choose from.

Just gonna ask one more time about the writing samples. I mean you've given a lot, but could always use more.

It's punk as fuck to assign people labels. Punk is a label, numbnuts. The entire genre is a reaction to externally defined political enemies.

You understand there’s a difference between arbitrarily assigning a label and commenting on people who have publicly accepted labels already ‘assigned’ to them right?

Oh right I forgot I was the one being owned, actually while you were laughing. Plus the weird lib obsession/phobia/coping mechanism that everyone who disagrees is a Russian Bot.

Umm, just to be clear I don’t think you’re a Russian bot. I accept your disagreement 100%. The samples have nothing to do with that. I just think misinformation is a big deal and have been looking at a lot of speech on the internet because I’d like to better understand WTF is going on with mass manipulation online. Sorry, it’s really not scandalous. I’m just a nerd.
