"It" being a shorthand for the question Helsing asked you not about Libya, as you so deftly assumed, but about Hillary's record, which Helsing previously asked:

Seriously though, just answer my question. Do you think Hilary's relationship to the finance industry, the arms industry, etc. is totally irrelevant to her political aspirations?

The last of which you touted as an example of you answering a question. But since you both failed to answer the question and failed to demonstrate why the answer isn't worth answering: you failed to answer the question and you didn't explain why you failed to

Beyond your inability to conceive of a scenario where scrutiny of Hillary Clinton is justified, you double-down on hand-wave dismissals of intelligent thoughts and blatant twisting of your own posts into a facsimile of a response. Are you even capable of answering Helsing's question? Your near-constant dodging in this thread indicates that you are neither educated on this subject nor capable of presenting a rational argument to the contrary. Telling Helsing that he's making broad-strokes evaluation is all well and good, but you might look like less of a disingenuous poo poo if you had a thought of your own.

Oh, also:

I didn't choose that influence doesn't affect her, though. I said going by her record if they did have influence it wasn't substantial, and also said that I was sure that all of her connections and the donations did have influence on her.

I already did. I think that if Clinton is influenced by the finance industry, that hasn't prevented her from favoring strong banking regulations, as seen by her time in the Senate and her current campaign promises. Can you point out an example of their influence?

And also, an example of me ignoring data, as you accused me of? Or would you prefer to just quietly put that accusation behind you, since you don't have an actual example?

Dude, dismissing questions isn't in any way ignoring data. It's not 'semantics' to say that it's just that the word doesn't mean that to anyone, not even you. If this isn't a self-mocking post that's just sad. Would it be so hard just to say "Okay I was wrong about ignoring data, got my blood up, but I still think you're a disingenuous moron shithead for other reasons"?

And your examples didn't show me dodging questions: for one of them, you just removed the bit where I answered the question, another one is a response to a post that wasn't even directed at me.

Sorry, I thought that was pretty clear. Let me unpack it a bit more for you.

In the first bit, I was pointing out that you accused me of ignoring data (and being a lovely sociologist for doing so). I challenged you to actually show me ignoring data. You can't, because I didn't. After dodging that challenge repeatedly, you're now trying to claim that me not answering questions is ignoring data, which is just sad on your part.

The second part is saying that if you did admit that I wasn't ignoring data, you could still tell me I was a disingenuous moron for other reasons, it's okay to admit being wrong about stuff. You can still keep with your main theme that I don't answer any direct questions, because there's definitely been some silly questions that I've questioned the validity of in response, so you can keep on saying I'm horrible for doing that.

I'm going to keep this one until the novelty of having a misspelled inaccurate red text wears off, which might take awhile. But I am a not-rich person with most of my income budgeted for rent and food and books and stuff, so I can't compete if someone wants to keep buying me red-text and making the forums uglier, even at 2:1 prices.

This is a true statement, but consider that Obama, like hillary, is pretty much bought and paid for by wall st, Goldman Sachs in particular, but i'm p.sure she'll spread her legs for whatever wall st firm can come up with 8 figures of unmarked bills. We've reach gilded age income inequality, pretty much exactly what wall st has been after forever, brought to you by B-rock, and promised to be continued under Hillary, regardless of what :obdicut: considers to be a promise by her to do the exact opposite of what her and her husband have always done, which is gently caress the lower and middle class to help the ultra wealthy.

Questioning the validity of: responding over and over that the question isn't relevant/that it's not worthy of response/that you don't understand it/that it's not related/not important/not provable/not substantial.

You aren't questioning the validity of everything because you are merely marginally qualified to do so. You are pretending you don't need to engage in discussion so you can act like a haughty moron as you do in every thread because fundimentally that is the kind of person you are and it is your personal failure.

Young people are the core of Bernie's support. Is this a myth? I don't think all Bernie supporters are, but there's certainly a vocal subset who seem particularly naïve in their political views. I don't think that's a coincidence.
