    Too Long; Didn’t Read: The battle cry of the uneducated voter everywhere.

    It’s wild how desperately so-called Democratic voters want to show that they’re just as stupid and bull-headed as Trump supporters, and just like Trump supporters, they’ll just ignore anything that doesn’t fit their narrative.

    Choosing to be ignorant isn’t the flex you think it is.

      Do you have both the time and emotional bandwidth to read every single thing that affects your life? Everything that anyone else, especially random Internet strangers, considers important for you as well?

      We should all be more educated on political matters. Real life forces us to pick and choose how we do it, unless we don’t have a life and choose to only concern ourselves with politics to the detriment of our family, relationships, friendships, and mental health. Because there’s a shit pile of info that comes out each and every day. I don’t think asking for a summary is something we should be shitting on people about.

      Being a smug jackass isn’t the flex you think is. It actually pushes people away from whatever you’re stating you think they should do. Unless that’s your plan anyway? In that case, no judgement here. Carry on.

          Maybe you’re right. I have no idea whether this person is an idiot. I don’t know whether they meant to respond to you because they did respond to the top level.

          Maybe because of your other interaction you don’t see what it looks like from the outside. It looks like someone is saying “I don’t have the attention span or emotional bandwidth to fully read and understand this at this time. Does anyone have a summary of events?” And you’re saying “Dwight, you ignorant slut!”

            I know what it looks like to people who read half of a thread, and I’m unconcerned. If you can’t read a whole thread and piece it together, that’s not my problem.

      Who is choosing to be ignorant here? I don’t think these people wanted to fall for it.

      I will say this is an omega cringe take though, tl;dr is a pretty valid way to request someone else chew your food for you when you don’t wanna do jawzrsize, and your political extrapolations from that are completely irrelevant. The person who’s left an unpoliticized single four letter acronym might be of any political persuasion, you’re hallucinating shit.

      Also the

      Choosing to be ignorant isn’t the flex you think it is.

      doesn’t make any sense. The acronym is a request for more information. It’s someone asking to no longer be ignorant. Why did you decide to go goono mode with this comment?

        Because they meant to reply to me but instead made a top-level comment. Check out downthread. He was one of the first comments.

        He was trying to act cool like ignoring what I said covered up that he didn’t have a rebuttal.
