    You can just find comments in the modlog. I just found yours. It had a bunch “facts” (opinions), some unsubstantiated claims, some statements that were straight up untrue, and finally it was just a disingenuous reductive statement that failed to engage with the other.
    It was also a statement that diminished Democrats involvement in many of the things you take issue with. I assume that was the reasoning for having it removed. That or just it being regular trite unsubstantiated text with the regular trite rhetorical tricks that everyone sees through.

        Im heading to bed now (yes I am studying abroad, spooooky!) so I’ll get you tomorrow, but the foreign prison thing? We’ve had foreign death prisons for ages - Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib, we could go on. Then there’s the long list of CIA blacksites.

          What are you trying to imply here?

            That this thread is full of people foaming at the mouth at the mere thought of someone foreign having an opinion and sharing it, and you strike me as the type to do that.

              Okay. That’s pretty much what I thought, but I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt and a moment to clarify.

              No, I’m not offended in any way that you are in a different timezone, from a different country, studying aborad, or are in any way not directly living in the US and being impacted by the poor decisions people have made here. Anyone from anywhere can read about and make informed decisions about American politics, and probably come to a better decision about it than most of the people living here, based on the results of the last general election.

              I’d encourage you to check your prejudice, because I am not the person you appear to think that I am.
