      If someone votes for a racist because their feelings got hurt by being insulted, then they’re a stupid racist, full stop.

        Do Republicans actually insult the voting public though? I know they go after other politicians all the time, but the voting public?

        Having said that, I’m not in the US, so I’m not paying particularly close attention to everything.

          Speaks as if they had knowledge, lecturing people ‘in the know’ as if they were also ‘in the know’: “Didn’t you learn anything from Hillary?”

          Admits large scale ignorance: “I’m not paying close attention to everything.”

            These are just talking points on the whiteboard in the St Petersburg data center. They keep the vodka on the table beside it.

          Yes. Full stop.

          I’m not in the US, so I’m not paying particularly close attention to everything.

      Insulting her base was her AND Harris’ mistake. Don’t try and convince conservatives they can vote for you, they never will.

          Seeing as you’re not American and admitted to not paying attention: maybe stop making yourself look like a fucking moron and stop talking out of your ass

            He’s a ruzzian sea lion, a pretty fail one…

            Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity (“I’m just trying to have a debate”), and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.[5][6][7][8] It may take the form of “incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate”,[9] and has been likened to a denial-of-service attack targeted at human beings

            They’re definitely a bad faith agitator. Look at their comments throughout this thread. Never a meaningful attempt at discourse. Just stirring the pot.

            So, insult your opponent because you don’t have an answer?

            And you don’t see the irony there?
