Well you're just the original guy that tried the senile bit.

What I see throughout this site is these supposed leftists who say they are so well informed, and so well thought, who know all about policies, and what to do, and who think and think and think, and determine that the best course of action is to protest vote. And then they turn around and say "but i want charisma for ma emotions". Yeah it doesn't add up.

That's who I'm talking to on this site.

Oh yeah let me repeat myself to be very clear: I think not voting or a protest vote or a third-party or independent vote is downright stupid. I think anyone suggesting this is either a right-wing operative as it only benefits them, or they're very naive and likely a newcomer to politics. who also lacks an understanding of risk/reward analytics.

Absolutely, at this point we should all vote for Joe Biden.

All I'm saying is that unfortunately you and I are far-and-above average in terms of political knowledge and civic engagement. Most people lack the depth of understanding to look at things logically and so must go off intuition and emotion as shortcuts. So to some extent, I think a party would be crazy not to put a heavy emphasis on this. Unfortunately it benefits the GOP more because of the nature of their deeply-ignorant and gullible and griftable base.

Repeat? You never said that in the first place. You're still trying to sneak in this idea that he's not charismatic, when he basically is.

Yeah you showed who you are in the other reply. Ciao.

Dude:

I get people want to fall in line at this point and I have and will vote for Biden,

Yes, repeat. Please, work on reading comprehension.

God why do I bother

You said:

That is not this:

Oh yeah let me repeat myself to be very clear: I think not voting or a protest vote or a third-party or independent vote is downright stupid.

And then you attack. Yeah you showed who you are and I have to stop taking the bait. Ciao.

Yep, those obviously connote the same idea. I would know, since you know, I wrote them. Peace!
