    1. I put religion in quotes to try to appease this take.
    2. You are being exceedingly literal and selective in your definition of religion.
    3. Ceding all rights to the word ‘religion’ to the xtian fundamentalists is not a good strategy.
    4. Your extreme position limits your ability to bridge with others which also limits your ability to affect change.
    5. I’ve had my ‘militant atheist’ phase and shared your inflexibility in the past. It wasn’t healthy for me and it wasn’t helpful for anyone.



  • The “lesser evils” are the Greens and PSL

    Don’t be obtuse. Either the Democrat or the Republican is going to win. Those are the only two you get to choose from at the moment. You have to start long before the general election if you want to change that reality.

    They are both unacceptable evil, period. T

    Then don’t vote at all or vote third party, but know that by doing so you’ve supported Trump. You will be personally responsible for Trump winning. Sleep tight.

    Don’t bother replying if you are just going to continue parroting the Russian propaganda.


  • Are the Russian Trolls in the room with us? Probably…

    If you don’t like the FPTP voting, do something about that. If you don’t like voting for the lesser of two evils, do something about it besides waiting until that is the only choice.

    • Fact 1: Right now, your only choice is to vote for the lesser of the two evils, unless you want to help the worse of two evils.
    • Fact 2: Harris is, by a very large margin, the lesser of the two evils.
    • Fact 3: Your ‘messaging’ is helping Trump

    Do with the facts what you will, but know that the messaging of “the Russian trolls” is to do anything possible to diminish support for Harris either directly or indirectly. Like it or not, you are “on message” with those who would choose to see Trump win.











  • I’m not going to give serious time to non-serious questions. You’re going to have to at least show you tried to think of how this could be manipulative. If you’re going to consider yourself a rational thinker, then you’re also going to have to agree that more context should be there regardless of whether it changes the message. Any time there is a hint of manipulation (such as trimming down to sound-bites), you should push back.
