I'm tired of people pretending they're only "asking questions" when they're pushing for a full reopen. Acting like you're surprised there are unreasonable people saying things and using that to cast anyone who is more cautious as the same is dishonest and cowardly.
If someone actually has questions, they should ask them. Otherwise if they don't have the courage to own their political position, I don't consider them part of the conversation.
- Spellman 6y agoThis has to be one of my most-hated "tricks." "I don't believe this long video I just posted. But it does make you think." No, I'm pretty sure you believe and are promoting said video. "I'm just asking questions here." No, you clearly have an agenda and opinion and want to bait others who are unsure into a discussion with you. For the rare folks with honest questions, we can have a real explanation. For honest people who want to discuss, we can have a discussion. But being coy and "asking" when you already have a position you won't actually change seems extremely disingenuous.
