Unlike you, I'm not trying to accomplish anything other than waste time until I've got bigger fish to fry. Well, AND try to figure out why ANYONE would support Chump in ANYTHING. He's unbelievably disgusting.
What are YOU trying to accomplish here?
This should be entertaining....

Sure you are, Cleopatra.
Half of these people can barely be called PEOPLE, let alone rational...
You can go to a coffee shop and have "rational discussions"...You and Rue are here for a reason, and as long as you keep pushing Commie Crap agendas, I'll be here to push back.
Please pass along this message to your "dear leader"...
Thanks!

Once upon a time this used to be great place to converse; there was none other like it on the internet that I knew of. What made it so unique was that Firefly attracted a uniquely diverse set of political beliefs - "market forces" libertarians like SARGEX and anarcho-libertarians like FREM, committed deep-staters who probably retired from one of those alphabet agencies like GEEZER, classical liberals like MAGONSDAUGHTER (Australia) and NIKI, southern conservative Republicans like AURAPTOR, then-current military people like FINN, cynics like KWICKO and JONGSSTRAW, anti-corporates/anti-interventionists like SUCCOTASH and GINOBIFFARONI, technical people like RUE (KIKI), all-around nice people like CHRISISALL and ANTHONYT, and people whose unique points of view could never be captured by a label ... like BYTEMITE and DREAMTROVE... but who always had insightful things to say. They all had two things in common:
1) Firefly and
2) They could (mostly) be counted on to DISCUSS things, take into account and respond directly and topically to what the other person had posted. Name-calling, personal attacks, defamation was nearly unheard of (except for GEEZER who was - like SECONDRATE= constantly strawmanning and deflecting.)
I could learn a lot coming here, and I did. I learned a lot about libertarianism, for example, something I'd never stumbled across before. If I wanted to know what Rush Limbaugh was saying, I could find it here. If I wanted to know what some people outside of the USA were saying (GINO, MAGONS, SARGEX), I could find it here too. I learned a lot about the varied POV that make up the USA and the world. My ideas were challenged, and I changed my mind on more than a few topics: the death penalty (against), the role of big government (should be limited as much as possible) and centralization (ditto), globalization (against), Democratic and Republican parties (equally corrupt).
As you know, I have strong opinions. But my opinions aren't unchangeable, I'm always looking for a chance to learn, to hear new insights and wonder How the hell did the come up with THAT?, to parse thru aassumptions, facts, and logic and unknot errors and find new ideas.
But I'll tell you, TWITCHY, that does not include being bullied and defamed by hate-filled people who show me every day that they're deluded to the point that they can't tell reality from fiction. What can I learn from THAT, except that some people are incredibly gullible, emotional, and nasty and can only tolerate confirmation-bias?

The person with the agenda is YOU, TWITCHY, only you're so stupidly righteous that you can't even see it as an agenda, you see it as some sort of mission to "rid the world of stupid" or some such. Here's a plan: Start with yourself. Stop being so stupid, and rid the world of at least one dummy.
