              Nobody tried to educate you because they all assumed that you are either:

              1. absolutely so amazingly, stupefyingly braindead that you are likely incapable of taking in new information and meaningfully understanding it

              Or

              1. a Russian/Israeli propaganda spreader who is only here to try and convince as many people as possible to sit out the election so that your agents can win government positions again.

              I, personally, am willing to bet it’s both

                This guy’s stupidity is so targeted, so specific - the level of “unintendingly stupid” required for #1 an impossibility. So yeah, #2.

              “No one even tried to educate me when I’m clearly starting from a position of bad faith! Waaah! Why aren’t you engaging in good faith with my obvious trolling and astroturfing!? Waah!! This makes you look so bad!! WAAAH!!”

              -You, apparently.

          “Debate”? What you said made no sense, and what you were trying to say didn’t refute the comment you were responding to in any way. Only you could spew out emotional arguments and mistake it for a debate.

        Why would an extremely rich, extremely stupid man burn cash on a vanity project that backfires stupendously?

        Idfk.

        But it’s beside the point.

        What about this is hard to understand or answer in any way? People are dunking on him because of the opposite-- the question is so easy to answer that to think bringing it up is a good point is laughably naive.

            It seems pretty obvious that two things are true:

            • The votes people make are used to determine who gets elected
            • People try very hard to influence how people vote

            That makes it fake how exactly? Surely a fake democracy would not have the first property?
