        No, I understand what you said but I think it just sounded like a canned response. If you reread their comment and yours then it really seems like you spring boarded off some key words and didn’t really reply to them at all. It’s not even argumentative, it’s just confusingly misplaced.

        Why not just make a top level post?

          No, I understand what you said but I think.

          No, you don’t.

          It’s not even argumentative, it’s just confusingly misplaced.

          Only if you live in an ahistorical vacuum with no appreciation of nuance or context. And maybe you are coming to this conversation in that manner, so keep in mind this is a forum specifically for discussion politics, and the people having conversations here may have far more context and depth to what they are saying than you may at first notice.

            How is that a defense of your non sequitur post above? I don’t think digging at me is going to brute force that first comment into context.

              a defense of your non sequitur post above

              Its not a defense because there was no non-sequiter; just you not understanding nuance and context.

                    I think it’s more that you really wanted to vent about this vote withholding thing? And you’re looking for ways to bring it up. I mean just bring it up, right? Why make it like you’re responding to someone you’re not really even talking to?
