ad hominem attack

This is a bad faith argument alone. It's a way of dismissing a valid concern about a person's long history of doing something. You're pretending I have to re-prove it every time someone says I do but I'm under zero obligation to be sealioned.

No, what you did was text book ad hominem attack. In the literal sense. The only way to revert that is to justify why the character of the OP is important to his argument. Which you never successfully did. You alluded that he could be a Russian plant, that’s why he’s against Biden, because of the time he posts.

If you had, say evidence that he posted on conservative instances in a way that is pro trump…. Or pro Israel… or what have you… it still would not make the argument he made invalid. And you would still be guilty of an ad hominem attack.

The argument that Biden directed a veto preventing the investigation into Israel is fact and is damning in its own, even if made by a supposed trumper.

text book ad hominem attack

I don't care. The source of info is relevant, as are their clear ulterior motives.

How? How is it relevant?

Is it not true that Biden directed the Vetos?

Is it not true that after Vetoing investigation into genocide, calling on others to act on the charge of stopping others from feeling the hell that is war, is hypocritical?

Then it’s not a bad faith argument. They could have ulterior motives for making it, but it’s still 100% true. And it’s especially bad when your evidence for this ad hominem attack is as piss poor as what time he posts.
