    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.

                  Sorry I couldn’t read any of that at all. Guess you’re right. You’re SO much smarter than I am! So smart in fact, that I’ll bet that unlike me, you will be able to discern meaning from these words that I am currently writing, for I simply cannot understand a single word of it!

                  If only I could keep up with your razor-sharp intellectual prowess and vastly superior command of the English language!

                  Woe is me!

                    So you’re not willing to spend time understanding other people’s point, but would rather waste your time sarcastically replying to me, and you’re calling me a troll?

                    When I said you have a reading comprehension problem, I never meant you’re too stupid to understand what people are saying. I only suspect you’re letting your emotions get to you that you miss out on capturing the actual points people are arguing before you reply to them. Rather than replying like this, it would be better to read back on the thread to understand what I meant.

                    If you’re not even willing to do that, how are you supposed to change people’s mind when you’re being so close-minded yourself. I might’ve been quite scathing in my first reply, but that has been rightfully removed and I have no intention of attacking you if you had gracefully admitted to making a simple mistake. That is still true even now.
