The DNC is the only reason you’re not currently enjoying a second-term Sanders and a sane Supreme Court.

That dude has had this exact conversation like 10 different times on here and ever time they come up against the same talking points of like, superdelegates or backroom deals or whatever, they mostly just don’t respond at all. They’re not a serious interlocutor, you’re wasting your breath.
It’s cool. At this point I generally assume that whoever I’m talking to on the internet is not interested in having an actual conversation which means what I say is mostly for the benefit of anyone else reading. If it turns into a productive discussion that’s just an added bonus. Maybe that’s too pessimistic but it usually keeps me from being overly confrontational and that’s a good thing.
Nah, I do the same thing, I’ve just mostly learned that even any external observer is likely to not care either, so instead of doing it for a theoretical person out there, I’ve learned that I’m just secretly doing it because I want to feed my worst instincts.
Haha I’m sure there’s some of that going on as well. However, I often read through other people’s threads and upvote good comments. I’ve even had my mind changed about some things doing that. It may be rare but it does happen.
