I clarified AOC's position and then described Tucker's, all with no mention of you at all.
You chose then to respond to comments about AOC and Tucker by accusing me of "illustrating" far left something or other and being a "partisan hack."
In the blink of an eye it's claimed I'm a Stalinist labelling you a Trump supporter.
Difficult to discuss politics with someone who constantly shifts the topic from public issues to the character of individual forum posters.
Also, identifying you as a "right winger" based upon beliefs you state and positions you take would not automatically make anyone a "Stalinist." Only espousing Stalinist views and goals could make one a Stalinist. Don't "partisan hacks" substitute persons for issues with extreme labeling like that?
If you do join my upcoming thread, I'm hoping you'll keep focused on the issues, and if you must label folks then try to do so consistently and responsibly, not as unthinking reaction.
I'll respond to your point in general. If you wish to engage with someone in an honest manner don't engage in double talk or subterfuge and absolutely don't twist their statements into something you know they weren't saying. Also, refrain from labeling them, especially if they have rejected said label in the past. If you refrain from that, as the vast majority of posters here do, then we will have zero problems.
