Major nitpick - there is WAY too much, like orders of magnitude more than ever was on reddit, assuming the position of a commenter. “You” instead of “they” - you are literally forcing your assumption on to the other person. Quite often it is accurate, but quite often it is NOT accurate, and intentionally or not it comes off as picking a fight.
I could have probably picked a better example than your comment, to be fair. I’ve just had way too many people assume my perspective on here. Had one person who made a confusing comment, and their perspective was not at all clear - after two folks asked for clarification, they had a meltdown, started shouting “FASCISTS SHALL HAVE NO VICTORY HERE,” calling everyone white, Nazis, fascists, and telling them to go into a bunker to kill themselves like Hitler. When all that people wanted was to understand the person’s confusing comment. That’s an extreme form of assumption but milder instances happen all of the fucking time. I don’t know why it is so worse here than reddit was (maybe selective memory and its the same, I don’t know).

I’m not assuming anything here. This person is making their position abundantly clear. They are Democratic partisan ideologue.
