Telling people that if they don't go out and campaign, they might as well be a Republican is just counterproductive. Insulting people is just never a way to get them to do what you think they should do.

I don't know why so many people think that's the right tack. Have you ever been insulted into doing something?

The few words of hyperbole is what you took away? I expected better, but I guess that's on me.

The few words are the problem. And I doubt people are viewing it as hyperbole.

Didn't bother to read the multi-paragraph follow-up? Don't worry about it. I've had my fill.

You really don't understand the concept that being hostile to people is the worst way to get them on your side.

You know, Squid. You're right. This whole time I've been venting because I feel like we've been completely outplayed by astroturfing foreign propagandists and bots, and it feels like I'm the only one who realizes it. This stuff has real, serious consequences for real people--but why would I expect a bunch of NEETs and children to get that?

Everybody who swallowed it still genuinely thinks they won something, so I guess it's not fair to lash out. I don't really want to get anyone on my side because my side doesn't exist here anymore.

I have to thank you for finally getting me off the platform. It's just not worth it.

I'm sure this'll all work out the way you want.

It's all a huge conspiracy by foreign propagandists to... replace Joe Biden? Why? And this conspiracy either fooled or forced DNC wonks to pressure Biden to drop his campaign, and this propaganda... originating from foreign sources that you but not they can see, caused Biden to concede.

Look dawg i know someone saying take a breath on the Internet has the opposite effect but for real, maybe you need to take a step back right now and take another look
