        All you’ve been doing is dodging all my questions with snide remarks. Sure I’m partisan and clearly so are you, but can’t you at least try to argue in good faith? I’m only still having this conversation with you because you are a very prolific poster and your output has genuine influence in the [email protected] community. If we can have a genuine discussion about how to fight fascism going forward I think it could be very productive.

          All I’ve been doing is making my point very clear how dare you accuse me of arguing in bad faith when my main point is MAGA has taken total control of the US at this point and you’re telling me progressives are the hardest working political party.

            my main point is MAGA has taken total control of the US at this point and you’re telling me progressives are the hardest working political party.

            I have already explained why I believe that is a disengenuous way to frame things and rather than respond to any of what I said you just keep restating your point in increasingly derogatory ways.

            To preface this I want to make it clear that when I say things like “the progressives” or “the liberals” I am referring to politicians, not voters in general.

            I did not say progressives are “the hardest working political party” (they aren’t a political party at all, like WTF do you mean?), I said they are doing the most to fight fascism. The liberals are literally following James Carville’s advice of “play dead,” so it’s baffling that you would even try to argue otherwise.

            I also explained my POV on why progressives struggle to take over the DNC while MAGA easily took over the GOP, but you just snidely dismissed it as “excuses” and refused to engage with my points.

              Whether you believe it’s disingenuous or not doesn’t make it any less real.

                This is the way a child argues. You’re not saying anything or making any tangible point or clarifying what you mean. You’re just posturing. Frankly I’m embarrassed to have been baited into such a long and stupid argument, and you should be too.

                  Oh I’ve been enjoying my conversation with you but it never really progressed from our initial points and I think it’s because you’re not listening to me you’re just trying to scores points.
