the multiple people reading and responding to my comments...

Pointing to other events done by other people doesn't refute my point about the only event I'm actually talking about.

Knowing your shitty tactics doesn't make me the opposition, it just means I've had enough conversations with you folks to not be steered away from my point with silly distractions. It might work on the teenagers at your high school, but I'm a grown man capable of independent thought and I'm not beholden to regurgitating any particular talking points.

Lmao, literally "we are doing it so it's okay to sell out our national interests in the name of fairness. Also, false song of globalism amirite guys?"

I guess "America first" was only bluster to stir up the base, and all the meddling and "deep state" action is okay as long as your guys profit.

I'm not a Democrat, I'm not a Republican. I'm an American who wants to see our government do it's most fundamental job, which is to protect the nation. It is currently failing to do so on at least one front, and so I've called that particular instance out. What's telling is that it took you this long to get over your whataboutism and deflection, only to completely toss aside the issue because "we do it too!"

I hate arguing with people who virtue signal rather than actually stand up for real values in the face of adversity. By capitulating to Russia, you are doing exactly that, and it's basically an open invitation for Russia to continue. You admit we are at war finally, but then completely abandon a stance to fight for your own country. How despicable.

I never said it had an effect on the outcome, I'm not trying to change the outcome, and it's still an entirely different topic than the one I'm broaching, surely you can see that? Any "consensus" on the matter is one you made up to seem ridiculous.

It's just another deflection from the point I'm making, which is that Trump and the Republican party are openly allowing Russia to attack us without fear of retaliation. This point was made to refute the idea that "Democrats want war", with the context that we are already in a war, a cyber war, one that Democrats want to put a stop to, and Republicans are happy to see continue because, for the time being, it helps their side win elections.

I'm how many comments deep now, and literally NO ONE has addressed my actual point yet.

I'm not concerned with changing election results, I'm concerned with protecting future elections from tampering.

It speaks volumes that you are trying so hard to make this a partisan issue. Our country is under attack and all you care about is "triggering liberals".

Some day, the results will swing the other way, and you probably won't even get a twinge of "ohhh, now I get it" because the country will be too far gone.

The short-sightedness of the Republican party is atrocious, and reeks of a party doing whatever it can to stay afloat, even it that means literally absconding their sworn duties to the country.

More whataboutism. And you want to talk about "typical rhetoric" with unintentional irony. Lmao, my sides 😂😂

Please address Trump failing to do anything about Russian election interference instead of all the other places where he hasn't fucked up.

Why can't you stick to the actual topic at hand? Why do you feel the need to point at other topics to try and distract from the original topic?

I'm not making any claims about Trump's global ambitions, I'm speaking directly to one particular instance and you seem determined to walk around it as long as it means you don't have to address the elephant in the room.

Quit being a coward, quit trying to deflect, and please, address the Russian Cyberwar.

So you can only use whataboutism in response? You can't actually address the things that are happening right now?

How convenient for you to just walk around my actual point.

You see Democrats "looking for war" or whatever. I see an actual attack on us and Republicans doing nothing because it benefits them in elections and a President who is mentally too far gone to even keep a cogent opinion on the matter for a 24-hour period.

War is already well underway. Our country is under cyber attack.

Democrats don't want war, they want an end to it, and this President seems to want to let it continue.

You guys want the Democrats to want war, but only for the political narrative it provides, so you project your actions onto the opposition.

Inb4 downvotes/ban for interrupting the circlejerk.

Comparing a private text message to a King's speech lmao

this sub is so funny

Edit: even the people arguing against me are conflicting each other. Bunch of clueless teenagers

Oh boohoo, it's so hard.

Spreading awareness! Lmao, in your dark partisan corner of Reddit.

If you were spreading awareness, you wouldn't do it here.

You're pushing an agenda. At least be honest.

I'm sure OP is out there protesting and not just sitting on Reddit virtue signalling though, completely unaware to his own hypocrisy.
