So willing to make claims, but way more willing to run away when called to stand up for them. If you start trying to make honest claims, then this wouldn't happen, instead you would be glad to back them up.

Edit: typo

"You don't have to attend every argument you're invited to."

So no, thanks. I don't owe you a defense, engagement, or an policy apologetics treatment of the current administration's governance for the last four years. There are plenty of places to find that information if you actually care to find it.

So far you've managed to call me an idiot, a liar, and a coward in all of about fifteen minutes. Why on earth would I believe you're capable of nuanced political discourse? We've nothing to discuss.

I think nobody will be surprised to know that you are unable to point to any comment where I called you an idiot or a coward. I didn't explicitly call you a liar, but I did point out that you make dishonest claims, and I admit it is basically the same thing. Your claims that I called you an idiot and a coward are a wonderful example of you doing exactly that.

Believe it or not, you did show up to the argument, and instead of admitting that you lost it, you are trying to pretend you were never even here.

You could just say you have no criticism after all.
