You accuse me of asking a question in bad faith and then act like you're living under a rock? Labor issues and genocide support are at the forefront of current political discussions. I can't remember the last time an American politician mentioned the Uyghurs.

As for your two points, I haven’t met anyone who supports genocide or the blocking of labor strikes, so I don’t know why you thought those up.

Joe Biden went around congress twice to ship weapons to Israel in support of their genocide. Joe Biden, 44 Democratic senators and 36 Republican senators passed a bill to block the rail strike in 2022. Were you unaware of this?

Yeah, I totally get it, you're trying to wrestle control of the wheel to divert the discussion into something you want to talk about instead. That's called a "Red Herring."

But look at how red this herring is! How can you deny this?

I made it very clear what I wanted to talk about in my first comment.

I find it interesting how much you don't want to talk about those two subjects. Is that because you support blocking strikes and Israel's genocide?

Yeah I know, and my point this entire time has been that's not what the rest of us were talking about, so it's bizarre to see you ignore the topic at hand to divert discussion to yours.

Ironically, you've kinda made my point by trying to fight me with zero information to go on.

Nope.

Can't help but notice that you haven't mentioned you dislike child predators once this entire comment chain. I find that very interesting. Is that because you're on the Epstein List?
