      I’m not interested in a sidebar. I’m only interested in discussing the main point of this conversation.

        You aren’t interested in discussing something you brought up? That sounds like you know the answer is inconvenient.

          You sound like a genocidal apologist whose arguments are weakening Biden’s chances of winning the general election, who also has no conception of leadership or responsibility, stuck in a boot-loop unable to understand why they keep voting correctly but the world continues to fall apart around them, unable to understand how their apologetic’s are actually an argument in favor of the other guy.

          I think you can do better, and I hope you choose to.

              inconvenient question

              There is no inconvenient question. Just an apologist spinning in circles wondering why their candidate is losing the general election.

                This is the second time you have insulted me. I don’t think I should have to remind you of the civility rule in the sidebar. I do moderate discussions I am involved in, but I would remind you to be civil.

                  If you consider being an apologist insulting, you should maybe reconsider your approach to rhetoric, since this is the rhetorical approach you are using. Its a rhetorical approach that goes back to Socrates. I’m sorry for your ignorance but I can’t help that beyond providing you with resources, as I’ve tried to do in this conversation. Only you can help your own ignorance. Since you don’t understand apologetics or what it means to be an apologist, here is a primer. You should read it. It can help you improve your approach to rhetoric.

                    Please do describe a scenario where being called a genocide apologist is not an insult.

                    I also sincerely doubt you would say that so someone you were in the same room with.
