"Jamaal and our movement were such a threat to right-wing power, to GOP megadonors, and to AIPAC's influence in Congress that they had to spend $15 million to defeat us," said one progressive organizer.

Holy shit! I don’t think I have ever in my life seen someone choose what they want someone else to say more than you do. And the amount of people you do this to is…. Well. Everyone you disagree with. Your modlog show that.

So it seems you either have a VERY serious reading comprehension problem, or you’re willfully trolling.

My guess is it’s both.

I’m done wasting time with you on this, so go ahead and have the all important last word you always seem to so badly crave. I’m going to go ahead and take the high road out of this embarrassment of a discussion. I’ll be temporarily blocking you so I don’t even get notified that you responded. That’s how little I am interested in hearing what you have to say.

But don’t think to bring this up as some antagonistic bullshit excuse to accuse me of paying attention to your nonsense after I said I wouldn’t. You’re not that good of a troll. I’m just simply done with THIS discussion. As I was done with the other individual discussions.

I’ll be unblocking you when I feel it’s time to.

Until then….

I’ll be temporarily blocking you so I don’t even get notified that you responded.

Next time you badmouth the anti-genocide left for being both anti-genocide and to your left, I'll be there. And you will have conveniently unblocked me, just like you totally ignored me.

Decided to check in on you after Biden's performance at the debate, and I find you getting utterly trounced by someone who seems to be fully on the level. If you can't understand why someone would be at least hesitant to support Genocide Joe (while fully acknowledging that Genocide Donald is our only other option), I just can't take you seriously.

And if you’re willing to admit that you are fully aware that the genocide isn’t going to get any better under Trump and will actually become worse-

And still suggest people not vote for Biden….

I won’t just not take you seriously, I’ll assume you’re actively trying to get Trump elected.
