You should know: Comments like this push more people further from your cause.

I've been yelling Blue no Matter Who since 2020 (The GOP is domestically compromised, if you don't see, you're either not paying attention or wearing rose colored glasses) and this hateful "fuck you coward" shit is even making me consider noping out. I won't, but you guys are not helping at all.

NO ONE is going to come away from an interaction like this and go "Wow... Ya know I was on the fence, but I guess I am being a bit of a pussy cuck. I'll vote for Joe Biden to save democracy"

If your aim is to get people on board, you have to start talking to them as intelligent adults.

I agree, but anyone who opens a conversation with "fuck you" is not worth engaging with beyond responding in kind. They either know they're wrong and have nothing better to say, or their mind is made up and attempting to convince them otherwise is a waste of time.

And I say that with regards to myself, as well. If someone wants to spread bigotry and hate, I don't owe them civility and I am not there to embrace their perspective, so "fuck you" seems like the appropriate opener at times.
