The DNC is the only reason you're not currently enjoying a second-term Sanders and a sane Supreme Court.
It's cool. At this point I generally assume that whoever I'm talking to on the internet is not interested in having an actual conversation which means what I say is mostly for the benefit of anyone else reading. If it turns into a productive discussion that's just an added bonus. Maybe that's too pessimistic but it usually keeps me from being overly confrontational and that's a good thing.
Nah, I do the same thing, I've just mostly learned that even any external observer is likely to not care either, so instead of doing it for a theoretical person out there, I've learned that I'm just secretly doing it because I want to feed my worst instincts.
Haha I'm sure there's some of that going on as well. However, I often read through other people's threads and upvote good comments. I've even had my mind changed about some things doing that. It may be rare but it does happen.
