You might be confused, my entire line of questioning was:
I'm not the guy you're arguing with, but he's got a valid point -- nobody can answer that question except for her.
Still, most people pushing on this palestine/harris dissent button, are Iran psyops. Normal Americans don't really care one way or the other, because they're so separated from it all.
And what answer could I possibly give to you which would satisfy?
You aren't here to have a conversation. You dont ask these questions in good faith. You are here to be a bully and try to bully people into not questioning your team. Were you abused, where the people who "loved" you also bullied you into believing the same thing they did? So you feel like you have to bully people into believing the things you do?
This is the same toxic shit that Blue MAGA was doing that literally was losing Biden the election. If you actually gave a fuck about beating Trump, you'd be trying to find a way to make Harris a more palatable candidate to people who can't stomach a genocide. But you don't actually care about winning. You just want to be abusive.
You’re saying I’m not asking these questions in good faith while bringing up far-right taking points like BlueMAGA and questioning my upbringing?
What would make you happy enough to get on Harris’s side?
Her bringing peace to the Middle East in twenty-six days as the Vice President?
You just projecting that I'm not already on Harris's side, because you are a part of a toxic cult. You have a genuine mental condition.
And my views and opinions are irrelevent. What matters is what "people" think and specifically what "people" think in swing states.
Right now, "people" in swing states are moving away from Harris. And they aren't moving to Jill Stein. They are moving to the couch. And you being a toxic cult member online doesn't change that. You abusing people into taking your position doesn't change the fact that Harris has campaigned poorly since the convention and is on track to lose this.
And Jill Stein won't be accountable for that. Harris will. We have the data. There are statistically 0 Jill Stein voters.
To be fair, there’s only one person abusing someone else right now and it’s not me.
You seem allergic to having a conversation in good faith.
Why would I want to have a conversation with you if you dodge questions and insult me?
I'm not Jill Stein bro. I can't answer for her. I'm sorry you are broken inside.
Debate is fine but best to keep your repeated psychological diagnoses to yourself bro.
Stop feeding the trolls, people
