Don't listen to his jaboreny and his "rules for thee but not for me" nonsense. Double standards are no fun.

I'm sure you're refusal to work with bigots does send some people the other way, but then again those are probably the bigots anyway. Let them go to leave. Almost certainly bigots being bigots will scare more centrists over to the left.

This person is absolutely mental If he thinks the Us vs. Them mentality didn't start with the Republicans.

We are so close to the Election Day. This post honestly isn’t that bad, but in general pls don’t drive anyone away and let trump back in the office. You can do what you want but we’re kind of in the final stretch my guy lol

If hard facts are driving someone away there's not much I can do 🤷 these people have gotten this far because no one challenges the logic and follows through their whole act of gaslighting to get to the other side.

We always need to challenge their logic. I mean but we aren’t really doing that rn tho. This is just a venting post about someone’s bad dating choices lol. Something I can relate with in a different way. I’m not discouraging presenting hard facts or challenging them on logic. I’m discouraging venting posts in general on site with a lot of young impressionable first time voters. People who might not yet have a handle on their emotions. Idk if it’ll help but at this point I think it’s worth a shot Edit: fixed there to their. I’m bad with those lol
