The only tears here are from rolling our eyes too hard. You're being downvoted not based on the merit of the arguments you bring, but on how you present them.
Why would someone choose to interact with you to discuss the issue, rather than the dozens of folks in here saying the same thing but in a less tedious way? You bring nothing novel except perplexingly bad bait. Thats the whole point here.
~~It is beautiful that you insta downvoted my response here. True chef's kiss moment.~~
Seriously though, if you can't recognize a rhetorical question why do you feel that your opinions on geopolitics are worth engaging with?
Err.... Not not directly for, I admit, but I do work with the state dept on occasion. There's a whole bunch of us in here, in fact. Decentralized platforms are extremely popular with policy-adjacent techies, I wonder why. But that's really neither here nor there, because critically I'm not presenting my geopolitical opinions here, but you sure are. And in nearly the same breath you do that, you criticize OP as fodder for the "objectively stupid" but elsewhere reject the very notion of criticism of your own opinions. I don't exactly need to cite the five canons (I'll save you the trouble) to highlight the flaws in your behavior here.
Seems like a conflict of interest…. I can see where you mastered the art of spin though
It was more like the opposite, if you remember the main point was that they simply downvoted without explanation, and no criticism has been directly to the content only aesthetic points. Not all opinions are equal…. Its less of an ‘opinion’ that if all those people voted for kamala she still would have lost, but a mathematical and cultural certainty. Keep blaming minorities though and keep losing to trump and your red friends
YOU didn’t sell your team good enough, YOU didn’t offer shit besides literally threats of worse violence. YOU are to blame for your own system that failed these people. YOU look in you own mirror…
