Lmao

Running away when confronted with the amazing revelation that the people I referred to as knuckle dragging morons aren’t the same people I referred to as smart enough.

Rip ur clients

I think your contextual reading might need some work boss. Have another go at my first comment.

It would make more sense if the group I referred to as ‘they’ and the group I referred to as liberals weren’t the same group, wouldn’t it?

So the far right makes all its decisions based on in-group psychology. You cannot make an argument to a right winger that will change their mind. You have to plant seeds of doubt, whole forests of them, and even then the bulldozer that is right wing media will spoil the seeds over and over again.

It’s more useful to try and break the liberals out of the illusion that the right will come around and we can work with them.

The best way to actually refute the right is to ignore them and prosper without them, they feed on aspersions and breath purity tests. They are concerned with power purely for the sake of power, and thus will not be talked into sharing it to improve conditions for anyone but capital T themselves.

Also, what fucking right? I’m on Lemmy so I don’t have to read their drivel. Go find someone cajoling the left somewhere the right actually exists and make your argument there.

Because it doesn’t matter what we say to those knuckle dragging morons.

Liberals are smart enough to understand. They just refuse to on principle.

They’re going to use the bathroom and play sports. KILL THEM ALL!

If I start following rules now I’ll break my streak!

Yup, can’t imagine using reddits almost sadistic UX.

It’s so poorly designed it feels like a slap to the face to even see a screenshot.

You will not be missed

Lol I get called a tanky for criticizing the Democratic party and Israel and that’s literally the only time I’ve ever seen it used.

Conflating it with supporting a government that hasn’t existed since I was 3 is downright hysterical.

I get called a tanky by people who literally support the group using tanks.

The rules are poorly written and even more poorly enforced.

Coordinate with a candidate before they announce their candidacy?

Pass

Coordinate with an individual who is then hired as an advisor to the candidate?

Pass

Coordinate with the children / spouse of an incumbent candidate?

Pass

Coordinate with the candidate themselves through means that prevent detection?

Pass

Coordinate with a candidate explicitly in broad daylight while making no attempt to hide it and leave a paper trail, electronic records, notarized documents, and a plan to do so again in the future and market your services doing so to other candidates?

Candidate elected; you are at a sub 1% chance to be charged with a misdemeanor if investigated by the DoJ because the FEC can’t be arsed

Idk my father got a set of titanium chompers, he eats ice as a snack now.

Yes when you cultivate a brainwashed mob of barely literate hateful fools you can manipulate them pretty easily.

Frankly I’ve abandoned democracy. We aren’t responsible enough to keep it and it’s grown too onerous to manage. It’s a garden that has overgrown our house. I doubt what’s coming will be better but hatching is rarely a good thing from the viewpoint of the eggshell.

There isn’t a question in your previous comment.

And apparently you haven’t heard the one.

You don’t wrestle a pig in mud because it gets mud all over you and the pig likes it.

It will only drive up donorship to the Republicans and foster more lenient bribery donation policy from the Democrats going forward.

The Democrats need to actually submit themselves to overhauling campaign funding if they want to make any headway. But they want that money. They want it more than they want any of their alleged policy goals.

Ever hear the one about wrestling a pig in the mud?

Um. Leftists vote at the highest rate of any polity.

There’s just not many of us.

The DNCs “standards” weren’t impressive to millions of center / center-left voters who voted for Biden.

Probably because they nakedly shilled themselves to anyone with a checkbook. Had no stances, offered no solutions, and came across as wildly out of touch.

Imagine how a tax credit for first time home buyers sounds to someone who can’t afford groceries.

They outspent and lost this time.

There sure are a lot of people trying to blame the left because their strategy of appealing to the middle failed.

Good I hope the Pennsylvanians hate it.

There’s actually a Timothy Leary quote about this.

“Once you get the message hang up the phone.”

I’m tryna get on that toad.
