    Great, then at the very best, you are doing exactly what you accuse me of doing... think about that one for a spell.

    Of course, when I do it, I provide evidence. So, I'll be waiting for yours.

    Nope, those were both comments to me, and I was not bringing up 2016.

    It was in response to these two comments:

    You said:

    You all keep deflecting about Biden's faults at your own peril. This is 2016 all over again, and the one hope is that more Boomers will vote for Biden then those who stayed home with Hillary. It's clear Biden doesn't give a damn about the Youth or Hispanic vote at this point. Good luck with the Suburban vote and hoping that to carry Biden into Office. It didn't work 4 years ago, but it might be enough in 2020.

    Then, I said:

    Trump has been spending a shit ton of money, which is why no fiscal conservative should ever support him. it's why his supporters are blatant hypocrites. Here's the thing, they don't care if they are hypocrites, because it was never actually about spending with them... it was always racism, sexism, or simply wanting to piss off the libs.

    I'm not the one saying that choosing to not vote for Biden is a vote for Trump. What it is, is a statement that you are not really a Democrat, and that's fine. But, as we've seen, there's quite a few Bernie supporters who are currently shilling for Trump. That doesn't just make them "not Democrats," that makes them Trumpsters. As for people like Theo, they are proven Trumpsters, and are doing nothing more than shitposting to try and get Trump to win. And make no mistake, that is EXACTLY what she wants.

    Then, why are you a Trumpster?
    And you replied:

    So, do you want to simply apologize, and admit to being a complete hypocrite, or are you going to press this further?

    In the end, not only have you been proven to be a hypocrite, but you made baseless claims against me, and have just bragged you will not be backing them up. I'd say that pretty much defines you at this point.

    So, can you stop bringing up 2016? This is the 2020 election thread. /s

    I always come at these discussions as a matter of principle. I'm not even a Democratic Socialist. Where you would get that I have no idea. I've never claimed or hinted at being one.
    You are defending Bernie, even though you show no hint of supporting democratic socialism, while defending Trump out of principle? Why was it so hard to simply admin @Muchismo was right? Why did I need to pry this out of you?

    I don't support Berine as a person to vote for. I supported Bernie because of his policies. We've been over this.
    The only direct principle you have yet to contradict, is supporting Trump’s win out of principle that popular vote doesn’t mater.

    Voting across the board was down in 2016. It was lower than 2008 and 2012. So yes, people were not enthusiastic to vote.
    Yet, despite Hilary getting 3 million more votes... which seems pretty enthusiastic... You don’t blame Trump for it, because of your principles that he won? Anything else you are willing to ignore out of principle?

    What unsubstantiated claims have I made, and if I made one about Biden in 2020 why do you continue to bring up 2016?
    Every fucking thing I have been calling out for the last 3 pages... every question you didn’t answer... You are now literally agreeing with the original premise... it just took 3 pages of bullshit...

    Well, this is you getting caught being utterly disingenuous, man, how embarrassing for you.

    I literally pointed to comments I made, and where you responded TO ME by invoking 2016. You then turned around, and beseeched someone else to stop doing exactly what you did to me... twice.

    It wasn't out of context. In fact, I literally provided the context, by showing the quotes to which you were responding. If you disagree, then prove me wrong. Go back two pages, and look for yourself.

    I look forward to your evidence.

    Well at least 1 person did.
    I enjoyed it, just like I enjoyed the evidence that showed you to be lying, and a hypocrite.

    It's not simply what he wants to tell himself, the evidence was laid out quite plainly for you to see. You simply refuse to acknowledge that I was right, and you were being hypocritical. In the end, it's either you acting in bad faith, or you being consumed by willful ignorance. Those are the only two options for why you are ignoring objective evidence.

    Do you need to see that evidence again?

    Is this what you've been relegated to, trying to shitpost your way out of being proven wrong? Sometimes, you just have to walk away. I honestly like you as a poster, but this is one of those times where you should just pack it up for the day. You got caught, and keep digging yourself deeper.

    Here, I'll make it easy, so you can stop trying to lie your way out of it:

Theo is a proven Trumpster who is concern trolling, and pretending to totes be a Bernie supporter to muddy the waters.

    Bernie lost, because he is simply not what Democrats want. His plans would cost a shit ton of other people's money, which is something moderates pretend to not want (even though they actually do). In the end, bernie supporters will have to decide what they truly care about. If they want Trump out, they will vote for Biden. If they want to piss off the Democrats, they will stay home, or they will vote for Trump... making them true Trumpsters. Now, if they are not Democrats, then they need to stop bitching and moaning that the Democrats aren't listening to them. Bernie voters are clearly unreliable, so it seems foolish to bet your future on them.

    I'm not lying, I'm not plagiarizing, and I'm not pushing disingenuous bullshit.

    We've had the money for decades, but we lack the political will from people who live comfortable and don't see the benefits of Universal Health Care, College, and more. We are now in talks about bailing out the oil giants because the cost of oil went below 0.

    People who go into a fight expected to lose will come up with excuses before the fight. The fact so many are already looking to blame others shows no one has any real confident Biden as a strong candidate. Which isn't surprising at all. Even now Biden isn't being a Leader and he is the presumptive nominee. I don't know what Biden is doing, but it isn't being a leader.

    Lastly I don't care what you believe or any of the Democratic cronies, but a Vote not for Biden isn't a Vote for Trump. It is the height of self aggrandizement to belief your candidate deserves every Non-vote or 3rd party vote. That's not how elections work, and it never has been.

    And here you are, invoking it once again:

    I'm calling her out for being a fucking liar, and I have proven it time and time again.

    Also, since you don't seem to grasp this very simple concept, I'l lay it out for you:

    I. AM. NOT. A. DEMOCRAT.

    It didn't work out for me in 2016, nor in 2012, nor in 2008. But, then again, I'm a libertarian, so it will never work out for us. I'm fine with that, because I'd rather be right, than win.

    Now, for the record, I don't much give a shit if you bring up 2016, because i do think it is relevant to this election. But, when you bitch and whine that someone else is bringing up 2016, and you also invoke it, then you are being a hypocrite.

    Enjoy the evidence!!!

    Thanks for wasting even more time and space on this useless trivial stuff in yet another failed attempt at a Gotcha.
    And all I said in response was:

    YOU SAID THOSE TO ME. This was literally the beginning of our conversation today. You were not speaking to someone else, you were speaking to me.

    As we saw, you were bringing it up.

    Of course, this could all go away, if you'd just admit you were the one in the wrong, and being a hypocrite.

    It's not a "gotcha," it's showing that you are being disingenuous, and flat out fucking lying.

    Now, the only real question, is whether your actions are out of malice and bad faith, or simply a matter of your willful ignorance overtaking all common sense and intellectual honesty. So, which is it?

    The answer you seek is that your failure to have a substantive discussion. You fixate on a single thing said out of context, and keep pounding away at the keyboard because you think you might win some virtual prize. That thing being discussed had nothing to do with you at the time, and each of your points of evidence is not opposed or negates what I had said. I know you won't understand this, because you are still making post as if you are trying to win an argument. I am not.
    And, I pointed out that your whine was misplaced, since you were doing the exact same thing.

    The evidence has been provided. You cannot refute any of it, because those are the literal words of our conversation. At least we have more of an idea as to why you did it.

    Nevertheless, you persisted... regardless of how wrong you were. Enjoy the evidence!!!

    You are welcome for that. If you still don't believe me, feel free to go back to my first comment:

    Again, again, and again, your initial reply had nothing to do with what I was replying too. It proves nothing, because I never stated you can't bring up 2016, just that it shouldn't be used as a Defense for Biden.

    If it comes up naturally in a discussion or something that is being spoken about it's makes perfect sense, but this is like the reverse or Trump supporters with Biden. Anytime anyone criticizes Biden they are labeled a Trump Supporter, Bernie is mentioned, or how Hillary won the popular vote. As if any of is a defense of Biden lack of enthusiasm, policy substance, or being unable to come out as a leader in the middle of a crisis.
    It is evidence, it's literally using your own words against you.

    Yep, now were to the point of spamming emojis to avoid the simple fact that you got caught. Please, continue.

    Good point... there is no point to the argument any longer (sorry Macho). The original premise has been confirmed, with someone trying to spam his failures away:
