Epistemic fallacy, non sequitur, strawman fallacy, goalpost moving.

His argumentation was clear in that it was directed at questioning one, and only one, attribute mentioned by you, specifically:

Then again Biden himself is not anymore progressive or any less Zionist than any Republican candidate, he is to the right of many of them. [emphasis mine]

You, on the other hand, argued for:

Then again Biden himself is not anymore progressive or any less Zionist than any Republican candidate, he is to the right of many of them. [emphasis mine]

Which is neither valid as a reply, nor is it relevant to the raised issue.

Try if you wish... there's a lot of muscle for you to go against.

You do realise this only makes you look more childish, yes?

I was going to vote for Biden but now I won't because you acted with such brutal incivility. This is the most important election of our lives; democracy itself is on the ballot and you are turning people away from the polls before they've even opened. You are handing Trump the keys to the White House; you are ushering in the dark tide of fascism. Enjoy the next election, you have made it our last.
