    lol come on man that was a "f--- trump let's hurry up and do this" twitter shitpost not me expressing serious advise to congress as to how I think they should handle the situation. I understand that if we want any chance of actually convicting him we have to do this delicately and strategically. But the fact that you and grimace both responded to it on twitter and are bringing this up again now just highlights part of what I was venting about before about expressing any (even perceived) criticism about mainstream dems.

    yeah none of my relatives are republicans lol.

    and let’s be honest: you spent *ages* stalking me, to the point where last year you were saying a bunch of personal information i’ve never shared on the forum despite me not knowing who you were at the time. it’s creepy! i hope you grow out of it.

    How is responding to your twitter shitpost any different from you shouting into the void on twitter about Kamala saying "a total of $2000"?

    again, this is why progressives are so often dismissed as hysterical or foolish. $2000 was never, ever biden's "mexican wall, theyll pay for it" style campaign promise. this isnt "no new taxes read my lips." weeks ago, $600 was passed - so now hes pushing for $1400. first round, folks, cmon.

    the notion hes being portrayed as a traitor to the cause already is simply bewildering. trump is *still in office*

    because he’s voicing his reasonable frustration as a voter and you’re circling the wagons to protect an incoming administration from even mild critique lol. next!

    maybe one of the reasons you find progressives so silly and shrill is that you recast their arguments in distorted ways—like this. no one is calling biden a “traitor”; a lot of people are simply saying the rollout of this one part of the plan was greasy and a bit dishonest.

    I have not spent ages stalking you lol.I have never stalked you - and yeah I don't know who is your relative and who isn't. There was somebody listed as a possible relative in your voter records with a funny name and I clicked it. "Bartholomew" maybe, idk.

    and yes, the only other detail I knew about you was your girlfriends name, since she is a journalist and I've read her work before - and her social media (you know, the tool you use to follow journalists you like to read?) happened to have a picture of you on it.

    Don't inflate your self importance. I looked up your voter registration in the middle of looking up @Donkey Kong Cuntry 's (who isn't using it as a lame out to this argument), farkle's jail record, and JMG's jail record.

    I don't care about you and as far as I'm concerned you don't exist outside of this forum or the occasional GQ article I read!

    Doesn't change the fact that I beat you rhetorically and you did the classic WPG move of jumping to personal insults hoping to spook me.

    You are touting the people who are working on a $15/hr minimum wage (a goal that wouldn't happen without the moderates willing help) as a tactical roadblock. C'mon dude, be serious now.

    I said "I hope she sees this bro" to someone who posted a super cringe "THANK YOU MADAM VICE PRESIDENT!!!" tweet.

    It's the same reason I made fun of the people who made weird fetishizing "Magical Negro" posts about marrying Stacey Abrahms after the GA election or for some reason have to compare everything black politicians do to Wakanda. Or the same reason I post the hilariously bad trump memes my conservative aunt shares on fb. Cuz people say weird s--- online and I think it's funny.

    im not insulting u, or i didnt mean to. i just think a freelancer making above $xxk to not qualify is interesting! good for u. (read between the lines: i was hurt u called out the orioles, low blow)

    pathological response. ik youre flailing here, but this is a v telling thing to say in the moment lol. carry on

    ok i mean, backpedal all you want. guess you should post disclaimers when you Seriously calling survivors of a terrorist attack cowards, and when gee u dont rly mean it heh. b/c last i checked, words are what convey thoughts/ideas/intent online. and no, me calling you out for being kneejerk and inappriopriate Isnt evidence about mainstream dem intolerance or whatever -- just shows you thirst for online progressive approval, its all just some game. where i stand (blocks from the capital last week) thats total chickenshit.

    i’m absolutely not inflating my self-importance—in fact, my entire point is that i’m not important enough for you to dedicate this much energy to. it’s always been weird and creepy.

    and no, you haven’t “beaten me rhetorically” or whatever, you simply haven’t internalized my initial post on the subject.

    you're yet again inflating it bro - like six months ago I looked up your voter registration one time at Andy's behest - then I clicked on a possible relative with a funny name. You have used this to accuse me of stalking you in every rhetorical argument you get into with me as soon as your point comes to a standstill.

    remember when i called you a revisionist lol –– this is not true at all. can't even stand by your pathetic internet behavior, no wonder you run around like a dog chasing andy's politics.

    This is why i said it's frustrating to argue with you sometimes and that you resort to ad hominem and make bad faith arguments. Because you do. All you've done this whole time is insult me about beliefs/intelligence and psychoanalyzed why I make tweets while trying to badger me into some sort of rhetorical gotcha. I know it's hard for you to believe that I might not have a secret bernie bro agenda to get on chapo traphouse or whatever, but the majority of the people I interact with about this stuff online outside of here are my friends who I've known for 10+ years.

    ah my bad I thought you were seriously trying to start an argument

    You're so predictable. Anytime I disagree with you it ends in you saying one of two things, sometimes both.
    "You're a stalker" or "stop riding andy's coattails"
    get some new crutches.

    those things are both perfectly valid critiques of you: you are a stalker and you are obsessed with securing andy's approval. and that's fine! i love andy.

    i dont - you called dems cowards less than a week after the capital attacks, as they were in process to impeach trump for a second time in a year. my point is, for progressives, theres always something ---- nothing is ever good enough. this isnt about u personally, i like u (perhaps even love) -- but ur an avatar for what i see online all the time

    play the ad hom/bad faith card if u like, i can handle the gut punch. doesnt detract from my core point.

    Neither of those are true. The second one was maybe true once upon a time - but I'm pretty secure about myself without needing andy's approval.
    But even if they were both true; this isn't a debate on me.

    Critiquing somebody personally instead of their argument is like the lamest out ever, dude.

    and @Donkey Kong Cuntry the king of 'bad faith' distortive arguments is @WPG lol. hes wily, trained in the online argument dark arts like bane.

    you would never ever accuse him of this.... b/c you agree with his politics. which underscores my second point here.
