am sure they never would have just evaporated or refused to answer the factual questions I was asking, I am sure we could have come to an understanding since everyone involved in this conversation is super open to factual conversation

So once again you're just damning people by making up unfalsifiable counterfactuals.

People are going to criticise Sanders when he says and does things that deserve criticism. Once again, you have a complete inability to understand being motivated by actual principles rather than cynical realpolitik

Feel free to answer the unfalsifiable counterfactual where I asked when Bernie Sanders had voted for aid to Israel, and quite a few times the person who had said that he had, changed the subject or started yelling or pretended not to understand or abruptly fell silent. I really look forward to you helping educate me on this, since it's all just my mistaken ness and you guys are the ones with the super-strong grasp on the facts.

What the fuck are you talking about? You understand that different people are different people right? Don't fucking try to vicariously reiterate arguments you're having with other people with me, asshole.

Yeah! Start yelling and cursing, that's always fun. Who could forgot Lincoln's famous debate with Stephens featuring his immortal words "Don't fucking try to vicariously mischaracterize slavery with me, asshole"?

I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish here, but sure:

Are you saying you don't know of a time when Sanders voted for aid to Israel?

Do you know of a time he voted or introduced a bill to cut off aid to Israel? Did that happen? I'm still trying for you to educate me, outside of the realm of unfalsifiable counterfactuals. Maybe you can help me understand.

I'll take that as a no lol

Talk to you next time I guess

Of course you will, you take everything as part of a made up conversation that you were having with yourself
