MODERATORS
 

Asked whether they believed Trump has or has not “committed serious federal crimes,” 54 percent of poll respondents replied that he had. But 19 percent of them confirmed they’d still vote for this criminal ex-president in 2024. Along the same vein, 13 percent of those who believe Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results “threatened American democracy” still plan to vote for him next year.

I’m not acting superior, you’re thinking I am. Thanks, but I disagree.

The entire premise of this conversation is drawing a distinction from and moral judgement upon a group of people who you want to criticize for doing the things you listed yourself off as not being willing to do.

Please just pay attention to what we're talking about. If you were paying attention to what was actually going on you would not have spun off this canned throwaway response to 'you're acting superior'.

Get a new canned response by the way. Or better yet if that's how you're interpreting it, just don't rise to the bait. Past the point where you're brushing off taking an active role in genocide and confusing what it means to support a politician, the vast majority of your reply is just reactionary personal aggrievement.

Just because I’m not reducing myself to your level doesn’t mean I’m not paying attention to you. I just really don’t agree. Freedom. Ain’t it grand?

However, I doubt either one of us will sway the other so let’s just call it a day. Feel free to respond, you’re blocked 😘

Actually I'll have you know, sir, that I voted for the 'fascism only abroad' guy who you know would be good on Palestine because of how he won't call for a cease fire and voted with everyone else in the senate to support Israel.
