Nah, I've done a very good job of explaining my position through the years. Nowhere in this thread did I give the slightest indication that I'm a Trump supporter. But I'm one by default simply because I don't like Biden or the Democrats.

It's absurd!


Well of course youve done a good job.

The fact that you failed to communicate your position to any of us doesnt mean that you have...failed to communicate your position to any of us. :lol:

I invite you to produce one comment I've ever made on this board that could be construed by
anyone with critical thinking skills that I support Trump. Just one!

Once I stepped out of the left/right paradigm, it's virtually impossible to have meaningful dialogs with those who haven't. It's like talking to members of a cult.

P.S. I won't be staying. I got notifications on this thread, and just wanted to clear things up.


Vegie man! <mega hug>
Good to see you back at the mature patch. :mrgreen:

You should know by now, that there are people who have a binary mindset.
"If you aren't with us, you are against us."

I too have been targeted as a "fascist" simply because I wasn't a hardcore leftist.
What can you do with people who embrace hyperpartisanship?

To remind people, I am a centrist.

Invariably, a question such as this is met with thundering silence. :mrgreen:

Its a non denial denial.

Vm could have been straightforward and honest and acknowledge the truth and say "yes it may look like I support Trump but I dont support trump. I oppose him for reason XY and Z. But the Dems are just as bad for reason A, B and C.". Something like that.

But instead VM talks like a politician himself. Makes a non denial denial. And makes it MY job to mine his post history.

Normally, the people who attack Biden the most are Trump supporters, so assuming that VM was a trump supporter is understandable.

Exactly.

VM thinks that he is 'assigned reading' and assumes everyone on WP has kept track of everything he has ever posted.

So were all supposed to know that he might have clarified what he is saying now, but on -another post he made eight years ago. Lol!

Sorry dude. What matters to us readers is only the post thats in front of us. So if you have to repeat the history of the human race every day...thats what ya gotta do. Lol!

There are plenty of progressives who have no love for Biden and the Democratic Party. So it's a ridiculous assumption.

Saying it’s “ridiculous” is a bit of a stretch since those who attack Biden the most are Trump supporters.

Yeah, like I said it's like talking to members of a cult. It's hardly worth the time, but I guess I am stupid for trying.

I couldn't care less about that. I expect people to absorb what I've said, and nothing I've said should lead to the conclusion that I'm a Trump supporter for those with good reading comprehension.

Biden's approval rating is very poor.

Yeah, last I saw it was below 40%.

Later evidence has subsequently proven that the assumption was incorrect.
Assumption does not equal factuality.
*That* is the power of investigative, err, investigation via questions. 8)

Dare I say it?
It is quite tacky...
If you "assume", you make an "ass" out of "u" and "me".
Gawd, I feel so dirty now. :( :mrgreen:

Not approving of Biden and obviously “attacking” him are two different things.

Which is *evidence* that many are not happy with Uncle Joe.

All those Democrats who dislike Biden's presidency...
...must be fascist Republicans in disguise. 8O :mrgreen:
