    Well don’t worry in the upcoming election of truth versus lies I’ll very much be on your side.

    But in this specific election. The real one that actually exists, you’re serving Mike Rodgers. So feel free to list his myriad financial entanglements in the pursuit of truthfulness and fairness that you’re so obviously committed to.

      I’m “serving” Mike Rodgers? Keep this up and people will be able to start saying that reality has a conservative bias.

      I even said that I think people should vote for El-Sayed. But I also acknowledged something that is objectively true. If telling the truth is “serving” his opponent, if his path to winning depends on spreading lies and misinformation, then perhaps I should reconsider my assessment.

      Some of us are more concerned with building a movement than on your petty electoral shit, and betraying people’s trust with misinformation is not a basis for a movement. Doing so in such a way that you instantly get caught, and then doubling down and admitting all of this openly, is not even helpful to the goal of winning an election.

          What a fascinating campaign strategy. First admit to being a liar, then call people who say to vote for your candidate “swine.”

            The idea that an undecided voter followed us here is exactly the kind of ignorance that I find so intoxicatingly hysterical. Keep going!
