    So why did you quote a Biden supporter who was merely replying to a post about Trump made by a Trump supporter, rather than the Trump supporter who brought it up in the first place?

    Faux outrage perhaps?

    More questions.

    People say stuff, they have an opinion. You don't agree with it. That's grand. Try to keep things flowing rather sounding psychotic with questions.

    Joe Biden thread!

    The constant asking questions about Trump is bordering on psychotic.

    This is the level you’ve been scratching around at for the last few days, masks and talk of cancel culture is where this is because Biden is doing a competent job and there is both to actually be outraged about so we have people making ridiculous statements trying to suggest things that aren’t there.

    Pulling troops from Afghanistan. I don't think it will happen. This isn't the first time we have heard about it either.

    Do you think an orderly withdrawal at a meaningful scale will happen?

    I was actually the one who posted the link to AP news tracker of Bidens first 100 days and commented that he was doing a solid enough job so far.

    Some seem to think you are either pro Joe or pro Donald. I'm neither I wouldn't be a fan of either for different reasons. I don't like the one or the other culture either.

    Yes. And you've already discussed that. Which policy would you like to move on to next?

    Biden backing the campaign to have intellectual property rights for covid vaccines waived is huge. Really puts pressure on others to follow suit. Have to say was i never expecting this, have to doff my cap to the guy.

    It’s not a one or the other culture. We very much get your not a fan of Joe but as far as I remember you haven’t actually said why, you were content to post quite a few posts about two masks whilst never actually making a point.

    You asked me a yes/no question, my apologies for answering it in full.

    Here are some questions for you to answer if you would like a discussion.

    1) What was the goal of sending US troops to Afghanistan and has it been achieved? Why or why not?

    2) Do you think Afghanistan would be much more different now if US troops were never deployed there? Why or why not?

    3) Do you believe there is any benefit in foreign troops remaining specifically in the most hostile territories? Why or why not?

    4) Do you think hostility will increase after US troops are pulled? Why or why not?

    It is impossible to separate the overlap between conservatism and the Republican party because it has most traditionally served as the philosophical inspiration of the party’s members.

    I don't agree with Facebook's ban because I don't think FB should be able to control political voices. Nor do I think they should be able to ban Biden.

    Ok, I disagree. Trump is not a conservative and ran as a Republican out of convenience.

    "Political voices" seems like a very broad term. Are you ok with Facebook censoring ISIS videos?

    The first 3 questions have specifically nothing got to do with the Biden presidency

    4 Yes hostility will increase. A power vacuum will inevitably be created . No real shock there.

    The United States should focus on China and only China

    Yes they do.

    1) Why is Biden pulling troops now if the goal hasn't been achieved?

    2) If you think it would be worse, then shouldn't Biden keep the troops in Afghanistan?

    3) Should Biden instead pull troops from certain locations and not all of them?

    All of my original questions are relevant, so give them a shot if you'd like a discussion.

    A discussion isn't one party firing 8 questions at the other in the space of 2 comments.
    Non relevant ones too the first 3

    I asked you four questions, my other three questions were pointing out why my four questions were relevant and were not to be answered.

    But if you don't want to answer the questions because it's too much effort, that's fine. Just don't ask for a discussion in the future if you can't put in the effort yourself.

    There is a huge difference between a genuine discussion and someone constantly going off in multiple tangents.

    Thank you for your input. Would you like to discuss Joe Biden's policies? Or do you also take the hotmail.com approach of making comments just to feel superior?

    Do you know anyone else who received a holiday or two for the same thing?

    I'm happy to have a discussion with you but not in the format that you think is normal. Walls of questions with no right answer or rebuttal.

    I did not take a holiday, the mods agreed that my bans were not justified.

    I asked four questions. You ignored three of them and chose the easiest one to answer. It's evidently you who does not want to put the effort into a discussion. And if they had an objectively right answer, it wouldn't a be discussion. It is not a maths exam, give them a shot.

    Either discuss the topic of the thread with users (and discussion goes both ways) or dont post again. Either way, by your posts to date, the thread will be better off.

    That's just you being selective and picking that day. If you pick any other day, you'll see that it's dominated by the librul mainstream media. See today for example, a completely different story.
