I didn’t ask about or address what someone else said. I asked you a couple questions.

You responded to a question I asked without answering my question bud. Might wanna get off that high horse before you hurt yourself.

Here’s my original question you responded to for reference:

Seems like Biden should be begging for votes then yeah?

If you want to answer that I’ll consider answering your questions.

Man, pivot really is your only move.

I asked you what begging is supposed to look like here or accomplish; you tried to get me to defend what someone else said. I point out I’m not them and I asked you a question; so you pivot again to "my statement with a “yeah?” at the end is now a question so address that first.

I’m cutting my losses. You’ll just move the posts to try and force me to address whatever it is you think I should be addressing instead, because you don’t actually have an answer and you’re not interested in a real discussion.

My mistake. This is why I don’t engage in politics threads online. You never know when someone is being serious and has an actual answer and is capable of a dialogue versus when some jackass just wants to waste your time.

Buddy, I asked the first question. What gives your questions priority?
