Voters don’t have a clue about how much worse Trump’s second term would be

This BTW is how you involve in the story the reality of what the voters think, which is an important portion of election coverage, while still upholding your basic journalistic responsibility to communicate to people what's actually going on.

can you explain this more?
How do you feel about American foreign policy in Central and South America?
So VERY well played! Damn that was well done man.
Bravo!
One of them shows up to start winding into their typical propaganda bullshit and you shut it down with a single question.
Beautifully done.
calling me a troll doesn't explain what they are talking about, but it is a personal attack.
I’ve been warned about you enough times to know not to engage. Go away.
>I’ve been warned about you
i don't know what that means, but if you make personal attacks, you should expect pushback.
Go away.
Holy shit you broke him my dude 😂
this is a non sequitur.
No particular opinion about it you want to share?
I would think as a person with opinions so strong about geopolitics and America's role in the world, that you'd be okay with enabling Hitler 2.0 to come to power in your own country because of them... you'd have some kind of opinion on it, even if it wasn't directly relatable to any current election going on just right at this moment.
Just one of those little mysteries, I guess.
>No particular opinion about it you want to share?
no. this is a red herring, and doesn't explain what you meant at all.
I think it does though.
>you'd be okay with enabling Hitler 2.0
that's a lie
Wait, have I misunderstood? Who are you planning to vote for / do you think people should vote for in the general election in November?
>Who are you planning to vote for
frankly i havent decided yet
i've been giving money to cornel west, but jill stein said the greens could hit 5% this year
Ah. So somehow we've meandered our way back around from Central and South America to "Voting is a waste of time; I as a good left-wing person am going to vote third party and here's why."
Welp, now that we've had that blistering rebuttal to what I was saying about how the shills operate, I have to get on with my day. All the best, love and kisses.
>Ah. So somehow we've meandered our way back around from Central and South America
you mean i didn't take teh bait on your nonsequitur
In what way is asking what you believe on a topic most geopolitically-interested left wing people have pretty strong opinions on, "bait"?
Edit: You know what, don't feel like you have to answer that; I don't want to continue the back and forth and I feel like the exchange so far pretty much speaks for itself.
Question I am too squeamish to answer = non-sequitur
it had nothing to do with it the discussion at hand
it was a nonsequitur that would have led us away from you answering the question, which you still haven't done (and, frankly, i never expected you to do)
