- claytongulick 2y agoWhen I read your comment, what I see is "I checked through their comment history. They disagree with my political viewpoint, so I'm going to use the popular talking points from my in-group to attack them." I glanced through your comment history as well, and I'm convinced that you are a lot smarter than that, and can add more to the conversation.

- soulofmischief 2y ago> popular talking points from my in-group to attack them Pointing out that we're currently being de facto ruled by a circle of wealthy billionaires and millionaires is not a "talking point". This comes across as projection. > I'm convinced that you are a lot smarter than that Thank you. I'm not sure what you're looking for me to add to the conversation however, I just plainly said what I saw, which was them to bat for several oligarchs who are currently making a mockery of our country.
