    Okay, but if/when you see this, I still have 3 questions:

    Have you researched Agenda 47, and if so, what are your thoughts on it?

    Why do you support the Green Party candidate as your far-and-away favorite pick while not seeming to care about a Trump presidency, given his environmental policy?

    Why do you reply to people who disagree with you if you’re allegedly not trying to sway them and are allegedly only here to share articles?

    I’m [not] Kamala Harris and I approve this message

      You actually got them to block you, I respect it. I thought they were physically incapable of giving someone else the last word. I gave up way earlier than you when I realized they were just addicted to arguing. I agree that they don’t seem intended to engage in good-faith discussions, but so far I guess by the letter of the law they’ve managed to skirt the community rules.

        Thanks, yeah I guess the trick is to politely ask normal, reasonable questions that a good-faith party would answer honestly. Who’d have thunk it xD

        Tbh if the guy/troll/whatever had answered the first two questions earlier on, depending on the answers I prolly would’ve just backed off, “oh well, agree to disagree” style.

        Him being weirdly “I don’t have to answer that…but I have to tell you that I won’t answer” was funny so I went with it.

          Well done. I don’t think anyone else has cornered them as well as that, most get exasperated at the irrelevant walls of text talking about abstract merits of voting rights when the point was something completely different.

          Still can’t wrap my head around whether it’s a political motivation or just fishing for arguments.
