    You were really going to actually try to defend that position? Progressivism relies on the truth. If we don’t have the truth, the facts, we have nothing. We become just like the far right, following a blind faith. That won’t work though, because we’re the educated ones that employ critical thinking. Too many of us check the actual numbers behind the narratives people try to spin.

      I’m not going to reward your entitled demands. Declare victory if you want. I’m not playing your stupid games.

        The truth is not games. Politics is not a game. This is not funsies, it’s people’s lives.

          There. You’ve declared victory and I’m free. Bother someone else with your entitlement.

            I haven’t declared anything. I’ve issued a challenge to be factual. To be evidence-based. To look at and use real data instead of cozy stories.

              No, you’ve obnoxiously demanded that I reply on your timetable. I’m not going to reward that behavior. Believe what you want about me, I’m done with this conversation.

                No, I called you out for a downvote-no reply. Let’s not pretend we don’t know what those are.

                    So, apparently

                    Demand that someone else entertain you.

                    actually meant “I know where the data is and was going to provide it shortly, but now I’m offended so I won’t”?

                    Though we can just look at your comment history and see you almost never write more than a sentence or two. So I guess I don’t know why I’m even trying with you since it won’t matter.

                    btw, I did look up the 2020 primary campaign too. Tons of oil industry money, he even had the Koch brothers donating to him. Not big DNC spending though.
