So here's a perfect example of what I'm talking about:
If you had to pick one most damning issue that was the place where she made it plain who she was last year, that lost her support, what would it be? What do you think the biggest one was, if you had to pick one?
How is that a perfect example? Are you going to answer my questions?
Happy to. You first though. If you had to pick the biggest most damning issue where she made it plain who she was, what would it be?
The other commenter asked first.
They sure did. Like I said, I'd be happy to answer their question, I just want to see the answer to my question first.
So you still haven’t answered the question…
Least entitled BlueMAGA Dem
Speaking as someone who's not American, I lost hope for her campaign when she made a show of getting endorsements from some pretty reprehensible Republicans (including but not limited to Dick Cheney).
Doesn't really look like you were happy to when you refused to do it.
I really would be happy to. I need them to answer my question first, though, in order to make the point that I want to make. Instead they evaporated, which means I don't owe them continuation of the conversation with the blank void they've left in their absence.
If you’re happy to answer, then simply answer. You don’t need the conversation to proceed entirely on your terms - you want it to. You could easily respond to their questions first and then pose your own to make your point. Your point may even carry more weight if they refuse to answer after you’ve just done so.
Their choice not to address your question immediately after you declined to answer theirs isn’t unreasonable. Answering their question wouldn’t have prevented you from making your point; if it did, then perhaps it wasn’t a particularly strong point to begin with.
I'm not the one who dipped from it as soon as I got something that wasn't entirely on my terms.
I'm done talking about this lol
I would have refused to continue engaging when you did that too. That wasn't a win.
Sounds like you're not actually happy to answer
You know your point is bad because you keep having to play these tedious "teehee you must answer my questions three!" Bullshit games rather than just stating it.
I'd say her attitude towards the Palestinian protesters at her rally in Detroit was the last straw for me. It was a misstep that may have been due to pressures of running a rushed campaign and the stress of detractors at every stop, but to carry on and at no point express common goals with the protesters showed her hand well enough for me.
