Meant? My comments are 'meant to do something? This just sounds goofy. Who actually thinks this way except pollsters and astroturfers? I have opinions, wrong and right, i share all of them on the Internet.
I want to talk to you more deeply about this. Do you believe other people on lemmy are so credulous and yet so uninformed, so lacking in morality that reading about my opinion on it will sway them? These people are also voters that definitely vote normally, but are also so easy to manipulate that my words make them stop?
Stop.
A bad faith argument would be to say that there are only 2 choices, but that really there is only one choice.
That any argument against your belief is astroturf or a lie to help the opposition.
That states a guess of what the other candidate would have done as fact.
Who out of the two of us has done these things?
Vote Biden! Vote hard, cuz i won't. You, in the meantime need to stop talking, you do more harm than good to your cause.
Not your comments, the other's comments.
Yes I believe that there are people who will make decision opinion based on the social media discourse they read in the coming months. I would estimate its 15% of the voting population.
It is a bad faith argument because regardless of who is president, American Congressional support for Israel will continue. The original poster implied that by not voting, genocide would be avoided.
Cool, if you're not voting your opinion doesn't matter.
It matters enough for you to write a point-for-pointer debunking it, tho. I wonder why
Your thoughtless disrespect, misrepresenting of op's position, and besmirching the intelligence of your fellow voters notwithstanding, the time you spent on your opus makes me happy, believe it or not.
I hope you have a nice night :D
So, my comments? Fuck off, I'm also just expressing my political positions!
Your political positions are inane and childish, please keep them in your head until you graduate high school.
