    so what even was the point of interjecting at all? all I said was u can try to be persuasive w ppl who disagree and sometimes it works. why are you blowing it out of proportion so much? Is something else wrong? Do you need someone to talk to? It doesn’t sound like ur very trusting of ur irls

    don’t lump yourself in with Andy and res I may not agree w all their points but at least they have a point to make other than “I don’t know how to make meaningful connections with real people”

    because it seems to be the whole basis of your argument with res/Andy that voters are these rational actors that take in account job security & it’s a major factor that determines their vote choice. Again, it’s a large assumption that lacks evidence. Americans vote against their best interests all the d--- time, why are Exxon workers in Texas any different?

    I promise I’m not sweating it but I genuinely don’t agree. Like I think Andy’s correct now that all the points have been laid out, I don’t think king was correct in saying he had laid everything out whenever that last post about actual energy stats was the most compelling post yet and wasn’t made until after he and res insisted they had made their points

    maybe I’m wrong about that too, but thats fine it’s all love regardless




    except @Enigma u can s--- the hair off my nuts throwing a hissy fit cuz I said the concept of persuading friends and acquaintances exists

    ftr the closest thing to my explicit personal views on the matter was my response to res saying I’d like to see violence befall both. Arm the workers and eat the rich tbh

    You continuously have been making assumptions about why voters vote the way that they do while providing zero evidence outside of the 2 friends you drink with on the weekend.


    You tagged me in this thread twice this morning with Andy & Res, you weirdo :'(

    I don’t think trump is good my whole point is that there’s sensible reasoning beyond being assumed to be a dumb hick. I know it appears that way but I genuinely wasn’t trying to be obtuse— until a concrete counterpoint to my workforce concerns were laid out in front of me, I genuinely didn’t see how I could convince a rational like minded person with those talking points.

    And yes I’m putting the burden of proof and stuff on u lol I’m learning here I’m not trying to buck up to the big dawgs

    so because some people will vote for stupid reasons, no one can introduce the possibility of there being compelling, legitimate reasoning? “I can see how exploited ppl would vote this way”=/=“every single person voting Trump is a big brain big d-ck champ who completely understands every nuance of the American politics and economic climate”

    Ok ik and to be absolutely clear, my point is the biden camp has done a lot of outreach to middle and working class voters. The whole MO of his candidacy is to Not condescend to those voters who felt insulted by Hillary or whatever. Apparently they’ve been successful too - but we will know more on Tuesday

    the “you ain’t black” bit got a lot of mileage down here lol but other than that absolutely, I have no reason to disagree w that. I swear irl it’s a complete 180 and I’m arguing against the over zealous trump tards
