it’s heuristic, so it doesn’t matter what layout you use.

this has nothing to do with the topic. this is indicative of an inability of unwillingness to engage in good faith

whatever that means. if they used two separate accounts you wouldn’t even know. how about you just address or ignore each comment in it’s merits, and stop trying to control other people.

can you try to only reply to a comment once?

if they have two distinct responses, why shouldn’t they leave two distinct comments?

All she can do is pull votes from Democrats handing the election to Trump.

the ambiguity of this syntax is fun! the democrats are handing the election to trump, and jill stein is trying to pull votes from them!

Is she viable with our current first-past-the-post system

viability is a myth invented by the media. hilary was viable. john kerry.

The president enjoys no authority to assassinate anyone

obama thanks you for not remembering that time he assassinated a 16 year old american citizen.

I’m not sure you want to rely on Patreon in any case, since it also relies on the retention of rights for profit. In your scenario, when they upload to Patreon, anyone involved could tell them to get fucked and pay the author nothing.

this is true for the vast majority of storytellers and artists and musicians through all of history.

any time it has worked proves you are wrong. the top 50 patreons clear over $100k a year

only one person would need to be able to live on either model to disprove your claim. since that has definitely happened, you’re definitely lying.

you claim they are not feasible, but we know people do get paid through them, so you’re just lying.

you recognize two well known cases where copyright is not necessary to get paid. I don’t think there is even an argument at this point. have a nice day.

I didn’t say that. you’re making a leap of logic
