      I know all about the Libertarian party. They run in every election. They lose in every election by a vast amount. Which suggests that most people don’t agree with them. You have no evidence to the contrary and you didn’t back up your spurious healthcare claim or, as I suspected, respond to the links I gave you about your false Republican talking point, and it is a Republican talking point, that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. What you should be apologizing for is being so discourteous that you won’t even acknowledge I provided you with evidence to counter your claim.

        I’m only apologizing due to the fact I’m engaging with someone who truly believes they are on the correct path and there is no convincing otherwise. I do not need to re-read charts, articles, etc to know that we are headed in the wrong direction.

          You’re “apologizing” without acknowledge I provided you with evidence to counter your claim. Three different links.

          False apology not accepted.

            Wow, why did you delete your original reply? I read it before you changed it to this reply. I agree, you do not have to accept any apology. Good Day.

              I deleted it because I did not say what I wanted to say. I also deleted it within seconds of writing it. It’s not my fault you hit refresh that often.

              And I would be happy to accept a sincere apology. You know, one where you actually acknowledge the fact that you pretended I didn’t provide you with any links to counter your claim.

              But I suppose that’s too honest for you, so you’re running away instead.

                I don’t really know how I saw it that fast to be honest. Yes, you provided links. I’ve read many of the same. I realized I was only ruffling your feathers and this was going to go nowhere. And instead of continual agitation, I decided its not worth it. I’m not try to argue, I just think there is another way than the path we are on.

                  Yes, you provided links.

                  Weird that it’s taken you this long to acknowledge it even though I’ve pointed out that you haven’t multiple times.

                  I’ve read many of the same.

                  And yet you did not do anything to support your claim that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. This is because it is not a Ponzi scheme.

                  I realized I was only ruffling your feathers

                  Ah, so you’re a troll. Noted. Flagging.
