1. Many of you don't get responded to because you're dishonest. Case in point: My thread below with Sal where he asked why Harris was suddenly wanting to build a wall. I responded correctly that she wanted to pass the bipartisan bill that Trump did not, which includes some wall funding. She probably doesn't want to "build a wall" but the bill offers some goodies for her side in exchange for goodies that the right wants (including the stupid wall funding)...that's how democracy works.
2. There are way more of you than there are of us. So when anyone from our side tries to honestly respond to an issue, there are many more people to respond to than anyone can reasonably respond to. It's probably 95 to 5 right to left here. 90 to 10 at most.
3. Some of you I don't ever respond to and that's frankly because I don't like you. Sorry about that.
4. Often a "debate" opportunity starts with a link from a questionable source which is ID'd as a legitimate source from the conservative poster. Left people don't respond because they either don't believe it's a legitimate issue worth debating because it isn't true or because it's being framed improperly (see the wall issue example above). If you start with a fallacy, I'm not going to debate with you and I'm not going to explain why either in a lot of cases.
5. I can't speak for others but I don't often have the time to respond to everything so I pick and choose just like everyone else. If I'm talking about something and someone replies with "Please tell me exactly the policies of Joe Biden you agree with"...I don't have to answer that if I don't want to spend the time doing that. That doesn't mean I won't in the right context, but it is a free country and just because you hijack the thread doesn't mean I have to be hijacked by you.
6. I personally attack many of you because you do the same thing. Fact.
