I’m not trying to get a rise out of you, he literally did use the word illegal, in relation to illegal immigration, which entails illegal immigrants. I’m sorry for being a bit of a dick about it, I’m generally very polite, and I find the anonyminity of the internet makes me quick to anger.

That’s my bad, I’m sorry.

No worries. Let’s just be chill lol.

I will say, you joined an argument to argue something no one was talking about.

athatet@lemmy.zip said Because people are not ‘illegal’ for crossing an imaginary line on a map. to which I responded, Where did he call anyone ‘illegal’?

No one is arguing about using the word illegal, but calling people specifically illegal. A person cannot be in and of themselves illegal, but they can illegally migrate. That’s the discussion. This is something that athatet and I both agree on and I was trying to show that we’re on the same page on this.

You barged in here on a completely different tangent for no reason swinging in full force derailing that. Maybe you yourself call undocumented immigrants “illegal immigrants,” but that’s a whole different discussion.

Anyway, hopefully that helps clarify my position and doesn’t come off confrontational at all. Thank you for your good faith response, I actually really appreciate it.

  Which makes them what? An illegal immigrant, lol.
  
  I’m just trying to clarify that Bernie isn’t as left as he seems to the American audience. He’s still a democrat, he still is American. I am trying to be good faith here, I admit there is some extrapolation that has to take place here, however, it isn’t a stretch.
  
  I did barge in, I’ve kind of made that my thing here, lol. The name is supposed to be ironic. I use this account to let off steam, like I said, I’m very polite in person!
  
  I hope you have a good weekend, dude!
