Just, I don't understand how you can throw your lot in with neonazis, and the KKK, and think you're voting for the right people. The 20 or so Tankies we have in this country voted for Biden, sure, but they weren't happy about it. Donald Trump got a fucking cult

This paragraph completely invalidated everything you said, because it's painfully clear yhat you have no idea what you're talking about and built a strawman in your head.

Go read my comment again: where the fuck did I ever say I voted for Republicans? I'll tell you: fucking nowhere.

Do I hate Beto O'Rourke? Yes, but I also don't live in Texas where he ran for governor. I vote pretty much straight-ticket in favor of Democrats even when they have terrible candidates like Hillary Clinton.

I recommend you sit down and shut up until you learn how to actually read/listen to people's arguments. Then you won't go off the rails on a strawman and make yourself look like a fool.

Forgive me for thinking that in a question asking conservatives what they thought, I might see a conservative saying what they thought. You dismissing everything I said because of one incorrect assumption makes me think you really do wanna just ignore everything else I said. Don't vote Republican? Good. Why are you here then? If you call yourself a conservative, then vote democrat, then that can only suggest that democrats still align with your conservative values, which goes back to that earlier point where Americas left wing is right of center in Europe--That our democrats are still considered conservative

And if you're not a conservative, then why are you here arguing about what the left doesn't understand?

Anyway, I guess since I didn't pinpoint your exact political ideology, it doesn't matter what I said about how Republican policies regarding businesses and unchecked capitalism is directly responsible for income inequality. May as well start voting Republican now. Everything I said is clearly a lie. One thing wrong means nothing is salvageable

And please, stop with the scary words. "Recommend you sit down and shut up" Goodness, I'd be shaking in my boots if we met in real life. You must be very tough ๐Ÿ™„
