Also let’s not act like saying you wouldn’t vote for Biden over it isn’t pressuring the current one in power.

I'm assuming you didn't intend the double negative and actually meant "let's not act like saying you wouldn't vote for Biden over it is pressuring the current one in power", and I would point to any centrist media commentary on the protests where the pundits are freaking the fuck out over the threat of this issue sinking Biden's reelection. The protests and agitation keeps the focus on the issue and keeps the pressure on the administration to address it. Anything that threatens Biden's chances puts pressure and urgency on him to address the issue, including threatening not to vote for him (and encouraging others to join the cause in solidarity).

Still not the guy that I asked but at least an answer.

What makes that guy so special that his response is the only one that matters to you? Really sounds like you're trying to bait him into a debate, bud.

Because they, unlike you, made the statement.

It is that simple. I heard you out too. I just wanted to highlight that you choose to engage with my question to another person. Highlighting how extremely odd this interaction is. I asked another person a question. You chose to engage that question but you avoided answering while insulting me. In the end, you finally express your opinion. I had to point out that you finally answered the question that was the starting point of our conversation that you chose to engage with, in hopes you realize that I actually want an fucking answer and that i ain't asking for much of an discussion or proof standard but just a fucking opinion. and again you could have just avoided it completely, you chose to engage.
