Asks for good points about Kamala Harris without mentioning any bad points about republicans. Gets lots of substantial points and a throwaway about Stein. Ignores all the points about democrats and greys very cross about mentioning Stein once at the end.

What conclusions am I to draw? You just hate it when other people don't follow the letter of your laws,even the ones you didn't say out loud? That you hate discussing bad points about Kamala's opponents? That people can tell you benefits of voting for Kamala as much as they like, you'll never hear any of it and you'll still assert that no one can come up with any?

I didn't ignore what you said, I responded by saying I'm not thrilled about the DNC agenda. It's all too little too slowly, without addressing underlying structural issues with capitalism. Did you need me to quote each line individually in order to say that?

What I don't like is that even when the question is explicitly "Regardless of how bad the other side is, what's actually good about the DNC?" you are incapable of not pivoting that question back to talking about how bad the other guys are. We know, but that wasn't the question.

What I don't like is that I can't even say "I'm not thrilled about the DNC agenda" without having all kinds of accusations hurled in my face.

Correction, you can't say "tell me good things" and ignore all the good things, then complain that there were no good things, without being called out on it.
