> Downvote all you want Biden lackies, it doesnt change the uncomfortable facts!

See now I know this is about political identity to you and not about the truth.

Your response here indicates you were never trying to have a conversation at all.

Not true at all. I bet you even think you know what my political identity (what a horrid combination of words!) is just because of the phrase, but in all probability you are wrong. On the contrary, I came with quotes from the man the discussion was about, you are the one who came with comments of no substance.

Projection at its most obvious.

Yet you presumed to know that anyone downvoting you must be a "Biden lackey".

True enough, I should have phrased it better, and just not said anything at all (bad form on hn to talk about downvotes), but on a topic about someone I respect immensely I got frustrated to see downvotes used in leui of discussion. I do think downvotes on the topic are highly probable to be from people who support Biden, which I didn't, (not a Trump supporter either, and I hate that I need to quantify like that), but it doesnt really matter. Hn is about elevating the convo, not devolving it. Sorry, my bad.
