    Is there an argument I could make from my position that wouldn’t read as bad faith to you?

      You’re here trying to garner support for the hopeless psl within weeks of an election, so….

      No.

        I was trying to garner support for the psl here months before the election too, and years before it in real life organizing.

        Just for the sake of completeness, if you can’t see a persons position as having a good faith form, doesn’t that mean you’re the person here in bad faith? If you truly believed there was no earnest true believer doctrinaire communist that was committed to their party of choice because they really thought it was the best use of their and everyone else’s time, wouldn’t you just report me as misinformation or whatever and move on?

        I’ve always considered bad faith to be not the person I disagree with but the person who isnt willing to engage with anything I’m saying, to assume that there’s a human being on the other side of the capacitive predictive text thumb pad and that they have reasons behind what they’re saying that are worth listening to.
