    You are not, I don’t consider social media posts to be activism. I consider donations, organizing, and protests to be, which I do.

    Your bad-faith misinformation is falsely conflating the Democratic Party as an institution with the few progressive Democrats within, The Squad, that are the ones fighting for the working class. I’ve repeatedly given credit to progressives like AOC, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib because they have genuine interest in fighting for human rights even if that goes against the party’s position. The Democratic Party is failing to be a genuine opposition and fights back against the progressives within are are trying to change the party into a genuine opposition to Fascism.

        You can’t even read properly and you want to consider your social media posts as an effective means of protest? That’s just hilarious. In terms of messaging, the Democrats will be better off if people like you don’t bat for them online.

          So is that all you had to say? Because personal attacks aren’t very productive at all.

            Calling out your lack of reading comprehension is considered personal attacks now? It’s directly related to why your response doesn’t make sense.

                Do you even know what ad hominem means? Explain how that’s an ad hominem based on your understanding of the word.

                  You’ve yet to actually attack any comment that I have made. Instead, you falsely accuse me of having reading comprehension issues, for the sole purpose of trolling and disrupting the discussion.

                  Begone troll.

                    My first reply was attacking the point you made in the comment I replied to. It’s specifically about your lack of reading comprehension resulting in the point you brought up being unrelated to the point you were arguing against. That is not an ad hominem attack because the lack of reading comprehension directly resulted in a rebuttal to your point. You’ve proven further that you have trouble comprehending what people write because you take my comment as a direct attack on you instead of your point, which was pretty evident, imo.

          Scroll up. I know the desire to White Knight a discussion can be very appealing, but don’t get blinded by your own armour in the process.
