Apple does what's in Apple's best interest. They were already well down this path before Trump's latest round of tantrums. You're just wasting effort trying to spin this to somehow be a victory for an octogenarian toddler.
I said they were on this path because US policy on China was consistent since the first Trump administration. You’re arguing against a made up point.
Maybe it’s because I said that some of the things Biden did were exactly the same but you’re looking for a reason to dunk on Trump? There are plenty of actual reasons, there’s no need. Some people want reality involved in their discussions, so please be considerate and find a more productive outlet for your sorrow.
Maybe people are also downvoting you because you're a condescending prick.
Ironic that you whine about other's contributions when they threaten your reality distortion field.
Ok, so no real points then. I can be a prick once someone admits to wasting my time, so yeah, at least I’m not ignorant. It’s either for me and most people get cranky when they have to look reality in the eye so it’s not that unusual.
I made a point. Your "no U" response is just puerile.
I give up but I argued out of care. US is not the first country to have a post-truth borderline authoritarian government. What you’re doing has proven to be ineffective. I’m showing you why.
I disagree. Telling the truth is not ineffective.
Whatever you’re doing is super effective to your sense of moral superiority but not very effective at affecting actual change. It’s not good for your mental health either. World’s survival doesn’t depend on you winning every conversation on behalf of the Democratic Party.
Every accusation is a confession, it seems.
Any more slogans? I want to speak to a person.
You've had a few people speak to you already, yet you have failed to speak like a person to them.
Don't you understand? He's the main character.
I don’t think I’ve talked to anything other than a standard reply template for some time now. You’re not really convincing me otherwise by saying I was outvoted lol.
