lost causes with the power to vote...
This is not the scariest part
Here, nor there. The point remains. There’s no getting through to them. They’re beyond help.
It is both here and there. It isn't an argument against your statement. It is saying how what you've said is worse than it appears. It is both enhancing and expanding on your comment.
And you're trying to start an argument on the internet with someone on your side. 🤦
Starting to think you might be one of those lost causes.
It’s an irrelevant point regardless of what side you’re on. I don’t just agree with people because they agree with me. That’s not how it works.
Agree about what?
Are you now suggesting that those people who are lost causes DON'T have the power to vote? What the eff is wrong with you?
Vote? What the hell are you on about? Listen, when you’re willing to place the goalposts back where they were originally, we’ll continue this discussion. Otherwise…
I’m out.
Do you not understand what I’m saying?
I don’t care that they can vote. My point was that they’re lost causes. Period. That they can vote is entirely irrelevant to what I said. They cannot be reasoned with. Regardless of votes.
But you just said in another comment they CAN be reasoned with! 😂🤣🤡
If you don't care they can vote, then why are you arguing? 🤣😂🤣🤡
This is amazing.
That's the comment you flipped the fuck out about.
Also, goalpost moving is a metaphor for when there's a debate, and one side is attempting to change the winning conditions.
Except there is no debate. There's just you yelling at people for agreeing with you. Those bastards. How dare people be on your side.
You: 2+2=4
Them: yes, definitely four.
You: FUCK YOU! NO, IT EQUALS FOUR. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, "DEFINITELY FOUR"? HERE, NOR THERE. JUST BECAUSE YOU AGREE WITH ME I'M GOING TO START AN ARGUMENT. I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION.
Honestly, this whole thread gets funnier every time I read it.
This isn’t how I see it. But you do you. Not discussing it further.
You: 🤡
Have you reread his comment now? Do you understand it yet?
(By the by, you truncated the expression in your first sentence: "it's neither here nor there". Wasn't sure if you did that on purpose for brevity.)
My point was that them voting is irrelevant. They can be reasoned with.
You specifically said "they are lost causes".
NOW YOU'RE ARGUING WITH YOURSELF?!?
Are you calling yourself a liar, saying they can now "be reasoned with"?? 😂🤣😂
What the hell is wrong with you? You are so keen to fight, you want to argue with yourself now?!
This is absolutely amazing.
