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.

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.

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.

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.
