    Person: “My opponent said ‘X’. Here’s why ‘X’ is wrong.”

    You: “You need to stop saying X, Person!”

      Person: ignores argument and tries to talk about something else

      You: “We need change the topic because you are right but this post is inconvenient to my narrative”

        I’m sorry, I actually can’t follow. Who ignored what argument? Where did I change the topic from what to what?

            The video is a selective edit of a whole sentence that has been manipulated to make a popular politician say something despicable. If you add in the second half of his sentence then we can have an honest discussion. Until then, you have selectively edited the truth to spread a lie.

            Go watch the video I linked first.

            Did you edit it to be that short before the sentence was complete creating the false narrative or did someone do that for you? If you did it yourself, can you explain why you edited it to be intentionally deceptive when Sanders was communicating the exact opposite idea from your claim?

                I turned the sound off and scanned through your linked video. No Sanders in any of that.

                So YOU edited the Sanders video to create the false narrative? Do you have no shame?

                  “I turned off the sound because if I had to listen to the sound my entire argument would be defeated.”

                  It is a one minute short video. It took you more time to write your comment than it would have to listen to it.

                    It took you more time to find a video than to just say “yes I edited Sanders dishonestly”.

                    You being evasive and dishonest does not obligate me to play along. You were dishonest with your Sanders edit. I asked you why you were dishonest with your edit. Your explanation was more evasion.

                    If you have a position, you are doing the worst to represent it. Your track record on this is entirely dishonest. I can’t trust anything your saying.
