Every time I see this type of discussion, my false flag senses start tingling. I have no idea if I'm right about that, but seeing a Dem attack anyone to the left of them that rabidly, and refuse to respond to reasonable questions or statements, always gives me an uncanny impression that I'm seeing a conservative in disguise.

Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

You're giving neolibs too much credit TBH; a lot of them are just ghouls that hate the left. Though as neoliberalism is the status quo, I suppose you could call them conservatives.
Not engaging. Right after that first response, I would've gotten the hell out of there because there's no changing the mind of someone like that.
If you're going to engage, I think you handled it about as well as anyone could have.
I agree, The tone of the conversation is already charged with aggression. And knowing how emotions on the internet go, not engaging is the best option.
You could start by not calling them “nuts”… you set the tone of the conversation and it could only ever go down hill from there.
That wasn't me, my handle there is the same one as here
