For one thing, that sort of agenda-driven stuff is annoying anyway, and intentions are relevant

Not to make any claim about you, but I think it was Hannah Arendt said that totalitarianism makes questions of argument/fact into questions about intention. I see that with the woke. Why are you posting this story about black crime? Obviously you are a RACIST. It doesn't matter. Even if he is a racist, address the matter!

I agree agendas are bad. If he was posting 5 stories a day anti-Trump and pro-DeSantis, I think you would have a point. Here it's just a story that's perfectly legitimate on its own, it's not overdone, but we just judge it bad because we connect it to the 'intentions' of the poster.

Also, I think part of the reason why some people are talking about OP, and not Vivek is...because few if any people here were thinking about voting for Vivek anyway, I'd imagine.

Well, I certainly wasn't planning to write in Vivek in the next election here - because we don't have write ins in Europe.

I could be wrong, but it seems most people rightly recognized and dismissed him for the snake he was almost instantly.

Whether he is a snake or not, I think he plays a positive role. He put some things on the agenda that others did not. He got Don Lemon fired, which isn't good for us but certainly is amusing.

the substance of this thread is largely irrelevant, since it is at best a bit of expansion on already known things

I didn't know that Vivek said such things about J6 until pro-DeSantis on Twitter posted it. So I think it's valuable. Just like I post stuff about Nikki Haley even though no one here will vote for her.

I never claimed to take offense to what was said. I don't take offense to what was said. And I'm not even objecting to that one guy is saying it, just that it's basically all he says.

I was too careless in my words, I meant "not like".
