Yup. My general rule is that the comments don’t really follow the thread of conversation, nor do they really engage in debate. They use the “yes and…” method. Agree in a generic sense, then proceed to espouse some leftist talking point that’s usually, at best, tangentially related.

Unfortunately, many lefties use the same tactic, but in the end it’s just a question of “bot or meat puppet?” And frankly, does it matter which?

I like your tactic. ChatGPT would likely be able to answer that, though.
