    You’re judging his internal state of mind and disposition. I don’t give a flipping fuck about it right now. Even if he is just a champagne socialist virtue signaling, the objectively observable thing is “popular influencer is putting a political blackmail of the dem establishment in the discourse agenda”. Even under your set of assumptions his champaign socialist virtue signaling is not without real political impact.

    I mean fuck, an even shallower piece of nothing is sitting in the white house and his vapid brainfarts are for sure creating political impacts.

        The passive aggressive “explains much” angle you have now repeated twice is kind of weird.

          There’s a weird cult around hating this one guy specifically, and people just cannot help but tell on themselves whenever he’s mentioned. It’s pathetic.

              I guarantee that he does far more to push for progressive causes in a single year than you’ll do in your entire lifetime.

              Hate the guy all you like. I’m not a fan either. But that’s not what I was talking about. I was talking about the political point he made. You turned it into a debate about his character, and with the weird “explains much” shit, into a debate about my character. You could have said “that guy’s a douche” and I’d have responded with “yup but the douche is making a good point”. Instead you chose toxicity and vitriol. Maybe chill a bit.

                What is this “good point” even supposed to be? That he’d hand the election to Vance? Wow, so brave.

                  See that’s the problem. You’ve poisoned the space between us, I have no patience to engage with you further and have this discussion on the actual merits of the fucking political point which I would have liked to have in the first place. Do better by our community next time.

                    Poisoned it by directly asking what you think the “good point” is?

                    Clearly there was no substance there to begin with, if that’s the case.
