Why is the guardian covering a meaningless election in MT? Did you get what you were looking for?

Meaningless? How so?

Tell us Ivan why a special election in MT matters to the guardian.

That fact that anyone can think that any democratic election is meaningless is what concerns me, Craig.

It's not going to change who's in the majority don't get high and mighty Ivan.

Craig, why do you keep using my name?

Why not?

It just seems like you're trying to demean me. Why go for the ad hominem right away?

You probably deserved it for being an idiot and obnoxious.

Bryan, so you "inspire greatness and improve lives" by advocating the beating of an innocent person who was trying to do his job? Sick.

Journalists arnt people

Greg Gianforte just body slammed ME and broke MY glasses. This is out of hand.

It was out of hand when you started being aggressive.

Wow looking back to find out out how wrong you were is hilarious.

What did u do 2 provoke him? U & your kind have been encouraging & instigating violence since u lost the election. What did u do? #ManUp

No sympathy, fella! Try using respect and a calm approach or go back and hide in your "safe space/"

I hope that, with a year and a half of time, you look back on this tweet and consider how hypocritical it sounds. Gianforte shoved a reporter to the ground because he was asking challenging questions and making him uncomfortable. It sounds like Gianforte needed the "safe space".

Most safe space advocates are advocating for a space of respect and kindness. You argue that Jacobs should have used respect and kindness - it seems like you're behind the idea of safe spaces actually.
