    Who is the liberal that you’re railing against, exactly? Are you saying that anyone who votes for a Democrat is a liberal?

      No, but you sound like a liberal, and you support them even when they cause massive damage, and commit horribly evil acts, so I assumed that you are one.

        Yeah, so this is the “no true scotsman”/purity test I was referencing. You’re assuming I’m a “liberal” because I believe there’s substantial distance between Democrats and Republicans on issues that have real impacts. I think that’s a wild leap in thinking. FWIW, I don’t care what you call me, but assuming that I, for instance, support the genocide of Palestinians at the hands of the Israeli government is a fucking wild leap in logic.

          No, and that’s not what I said. I said it’s because you support them when they cause massive damage, and commit horribly evil acts. If you walk like a lib, and talk like a lib, and defend the liberal party, it’s not a huge leap of logic to assume that your a lib.

          …assuming that I, for instance, support the genocide of Palestinians at the hands of the Israeli government is a fucking wild leap in logic.

          Can you point out where I said that? Because I’m pretty sure I didn’t. Once again, making up things that I said, instead of addressing the points that I actually made. It’s funny how obvious your attempts to deflect from the conversation are.
