Who? Where?
Sure that was a thing to some* extent. Where is your evidence the people you disagree with here and now are bots.
lol…. Not playing this game with you, bud. Nice try though. Very subtle.
Sounds a lot like something a bot stuck in a corner might say.
Riiiight… the old, ‘if you don’t entertain my endless barrage of bad-faith questions, I get to play Uno reverse on you!’ rule.
Maybe that shit flew on trash-talk Facebook pages 10 years ago.
There’s nothing “bot” about anything I’m saying kiddo. However, support for those that think not voting is somehow democratic… SCREAMS Russian shill if you ask me.
You've the time to reply, why not make the point instead of running away.
You trash talk bud, not me.
Sure, aside from talking shit and not backing it up, calling people bots with zero reasoning, and a blanket stance that anyone who disagrees with your stance is a bot.
It’s fun to paint everything in the same color when that’s the only color you wish to see, isn’t it? But you don’t seem to understand that I’m all too familiar with this bullshit.
And the fact that I’ve explained it several times now/ and you keep pressing the same argument illustrates the fact that I was right all along. I know how you work. I’ve argued with dozens of you before- and you’re all the same.
So I’ve learned now not to exercise that futility and instead just let you show everyone who you really are.
Thanks for helping me out with that.
It’s easy to claim the win when your opponent can’t argue without crating false narratives and resorting to insults.
Did you just say you don’t directly insult? Yet you just accuse me of being a coward. This… coming from someone defending the ideology that not voting will a risky do something to create change.
Yep..
History is RIFE with a ton of people that did nothing and changed the world!!!
