I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

You actually think the Democratic Party will ever have any real power ever again? Or any party other than the Republican Party?

You actually think the Republican Party will ever willingly give up power?

You still think these people give a shit about the law?

Amazing. Just amazing.

If you've given up so completely, why even bother to keep posting? The last thing we need right now is more pointless doomers.

Why on Earth do you think that acknowledging the reality that America is now a one-party fascist state is giving up? Do you think acknowledging that about the Nazis or the Italians was giving up?

[–] JcbAzPx 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Look back on the words you wrote. Those are the words of a quitter.

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well you clearly know Flying Squid better than I do since I had no idea he was a quitter. Please tell me more about Flying Squid.

[–] JcbAzPx 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Thank you for your confirmation.

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I didn't confirm anything because I have discovered I know nothing about Flying Squid.

What specifically did Flying Squid quit doing? You say he's a quitter. What did he quit? Please present evidence.

Unless, of course, you've been lying this whole time. But you wouldn't be a liar, would you?

[–] JcbAzPx 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You obviously don't want to see it. Not only a quitter, but a coward too.

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Got it. You were lying.

Why did you lie about me to my face?

[–] JcbAzPx 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The denial is strong in you; it's okay to face the truth, you know.

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Sorry, I am not the established liar here. That's you.

Maybe I should just report you for trolling and harassment and move on?

[–] JcbAzPx 1 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

I'm sure you don't want to expose yourself like that or you would have already done so. After all, they'd see your posts too.

The slap-fighting stops here.

Maybe you should give up on the democrats then. But its not their fault of course.

[–] FlyingSquid -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I would like you to find one shred of evidence that I was ever a Democrat or supported their party.

Then I would like you to explain why you think I give a fuck who's fault it is at this point.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh great I'll add that to the list of notes I keep about you. Very important stuff.

[–] FlyingSquid -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Why do people insist on lying to me about me? I don't get it. Do you think I'll agree with you that I was once a Democrat just because you declared it?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

My bad, I should have been less sarcastic. I believe you, I was saying I dont much care.

[–] FlyingSquid -2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I can tell you don't much care that you lie about people to their faces.

Maybe you should.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I dont know what you are trying to say here.

[–] FlyingSquid -3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Seems pretty simple.

  1. You lied about me for some reason I still have yet to understand and probably never will.

  2. I told you that it was a lie.

  3. You told me you accepted that and you didn't care.

  4. I told you that maybe you should care about telling people lies about themselves.

Clear now?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No but if I keep replying I'm sure youll add another layer of "clarity". Keep it up!

[–] FlyingSquid -2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Amazing. You have absolutely no guilt or shame over being a liar.

And my lack of faith in humanity is bolstered once again.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Glad I could affect your day so much!

[–] FlyingSquid 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's true, people who come from the Elon Musk school of being a proud liar do affect my day. Because their existence in this universe is a very sad thing.

Good luck with whatever you hope to accomplish, Elon.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Enjoy being such a fragile person!

[–] FlyingSquid 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I am not at all surprised you think criticism of you is a sign of fragility, Elon.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

You did it again! So proud of you!
