To be clear didn't read any of that horseshit past your first sentence because clearly it would be a waste of time.

So everybody has an idea of how much energy to waste trying to have conversations with you I wan a make this really clear. Are you saying there is no objective way to know whether or not Biden said he is a zionist who will fully support Isreal here?

Because if that's the case I think you're confusing "objective reality" for "literacy"

Because we're literally commenting on an article that directly quotes Joe Biden as saying that.

So unless you're saying what Biden says has no connection to reality (you could probably get somewhere with this but pretty sure that's not your point) not really sure what you're backup is.

Epistemic fallacy, non sequitur, strawman fallacy, goalpost moving.

His argumentation was clear in that it was directed at questioning one, and only one, attribute mentioned by you, specifically:

Then again Biden himself is not anymore progressive or any less Zionist than any Republican candidate, he is to the right of many of them. [emphasis mine]

You, on the other hand, argued for:

Then again Biden himself is not anymore progressive or any less Zionist than any Republican candidate, he is to the right of many of them. [emphasis mine]

Which is neither valid as a reply, nor is it relevant to the raised issue.

Try if you wish... there's a lot of muscle for you to go against.

You do realise this only makes you look more childish, yes?

I was going to vote for Biden but now I won't because you acted with such brutal incivility. This is the most important election of our lives; democracy itself is on the ballot and you are turning people away from the polls before they've even opened. You are handing Trump the keys to the White House; you are ushering in the dark tide of fascism. Enjoy the next election, you have made it our last.

How kind of you to offer, but I'm not interested in that. My relationships with people on the internet are strictly platonic.

Astute observation.
