That is... an improbably ironic response. Like I said, a waste of time.
Remember kids, when you're losing an argument, that's not time for introspection. It was a "waste of time" - a rationalist's guide to argument.
What does it mean when someone says 'bye' and doesn't leave? I mean you just said bye, and here you are again? What gives?
Yes, this has been you the entire time: ignoring the argument, doubling down on refuted claims, trying to reverse it when that doesn't work, and refusing to examine your own flawed logic.
It's not a waste of time because I'm losing, because I'm not. It's a waste of time because your points are so bad and incoherent that you're either acting in bad faith, or you're not capable of engaging with logic.
You're not an ally, you're an agent provocateur, the left doesn't need you.
You cannot even be trusted to leave when you say you're going to. When your words have such little value to you, why do you believe anyone else should value them higher. Go away.
Remember kids, when losing an argument take everything you been shown to be doing and claim the other person does it. It works for DJT, surely it will work for you. -The rationalist's guide to argument
No, actually what gives? Imagine trying to claim any amount of bad faith on my part when you can't even be trusted to leave when you said you were going to. You said you were going, so GO.
Actually, just go away. You announced your departure 5 hours ago. You've tried to dismiss me in every 'thought terminating' way you could. Why are you still here?! Why "waste your time"? Why, if I lack the ability to learn do you still harass me? Please leave me alone.
So real leftists didn't fall for your counterproductive drivel, obviously. I think I'm satisfied now, no one's reading this far down your fallacious, nonsensical rants. I'm gone for good now.
Why are you still in my mentions. You can't be trusted to say bye honestly, why should anyone trust you. Go away.
Meanwhile, I showed why your position was wrong continually, remember this:
For hours you couldn't figure out why, in your own analogy, Dems were represented by chain smoking. You just kept asserting that they weren't. Then I gave it to you step by step and you dropped it.
That's the difference between you just asserting a postion, and me demonstrating one. That's just one instance, remember this:
Double standards highlighted immediately. You never did see it, did you? Because your position never changed. It was still judging others' for the results of the their actions, but demanding you be judged by your intention.
Real leftists™ (hello fellow leftists, jesus)will see your position for the obstructionary nonsense it is: demanding zero progress. Instead supporting a party, that by your own admission, is bad (genocidily so). Making the same demands the "white moderates" did for civil rights. Never accepting change until it's forced upon them, and pretending they supported it all along.
History has lessons for you, read it, learn it, then get out of the activists' way.
You're right no-one is reading this far down. Fortunately, me constantly pointing out the flaws in your arguments is all up where it will be read, you didn't bury any of it, that's not how threads work. You misrepresented me immediately, and was called out for it immediately. You were wrong multiple time and were shown to be immediately. All where it can be seen.
None of this down here matters, you achieved nothing here, just like supporting Dems achieved nothing.
You're going away for good? I sure hope so, but you've proven yourself wrong about when you're going before.
