I don’t care who it siphons votes from.

This obvious admission of entitlement says everything about how you have nothing to lose in this election, and therefore have no one’s best interest in mind aside from your own.

That is of course if we are to even assume that you aren’t here to support a spoiler and disrupt an election.

You’re creating a strawman of me to argue against.

It’s pretty clearly in bad faith. Why not actually respond to anything else I said instead of quoting one short sentence outside of any context and building a bunch of assumptions around it?

It’s laughable to suggest that my vote against genocide has no one’s best interest in mind but my own.

Your claim that I’m speaking from a place of privilege and entitlement also falls pretty flat when it’s the high and privileged place of entitlement that’s defined by rejecting genocide.

Why not try a different line of reasoning.

Because there is no reasoning with you. There never was, and there never will be. You all make sure of that when you refuse to argue in good faith. So to counter- I’m not here to reason with you, I’m here to ensure people reading along can see the foolishness in your ideology.

And based on the ratios- it seems to me that they do.

From your perspective what would constitute a good faith argument for me to make?

I’ve tried to be civil and respectful even when I’m being treated with veiled insults and direct baseless accusations even when you finally end up appealing to your viewpoints popularity.

Doesn’t this seem a little beyond parody to you?

Again, I’m not here to reason with you, I’m here to ensure people reading along can see the foolishness in your ideology.

Save the false civility. I’m not buying it.

So my civility is false, nothing I say is in good faith and you’re just here for the laughs.

what is my ideology?
