Nothing, I try not to make judgements on the affairs of other nations without proof or at least a history of behavior.

Like America's history of rigging elections in South America.

But, hey, if you have a trustworthy source with evidence, feel free to provide it.

It shouldn't be that hard, we know they tried to suppress the opposition as is. All you need are some voting records.

    Well, I do make judgments on the affairs of other nations based on "a history of behavior" and I'm free to post my opinion. I'm not here for your petty and aimlessly pedantic bs. Consider yourself blocked.

    Rather than block people with opposing views, why not just disagree and live with sharing spaces with people who think differently from you?

    Huh? This is not me blocking someone over opposing views. Are we reading the same thread? I'm blocking someone who I found painfully pedantic for demanding evidence over a throwaway comment in an incredibly informal forum and treating it like it's some sort of official statement. It's a smug, clueless, and self-serving attempt to "keep people accountable" without regard for context. If anything, this person is trying to shut me up by using demanding evidence as a weapon.

    So yeah, I'd appreciate it if you didn't accuse me of things that didn't happen.
