  • When did I say something like that?

    Right here.

    You said that “those who didn’t vote shouldn’t be allowed to complain”. I felt included, since I didn’t -ote, but I’m not a US citizen. Refusing to steelman your point does not equal strawmanning.

    You’re commenting on the very specific set of social, cultural, organizational, and regional elements that have affected this election, and you have no direct knowlege, or comprehensive knowledge of any of it. Yet here you are feeling really strongly about it.

    That’s fine in that it’s not illegal or anything - hey, let your freak flag fly, but - I just find it strange. As a stupid American, if I were to feel really strongly about LiverpoolFC’s lineup or strategies, you’d expect I knew a lot about football but I don’t - yet here I am telling them Diogo Jota’s injury is going to plague them the rest of the season and they’re complete idiots for not working to replace him right now when it could make a damned bit of difference. And I don’t watch football.


  • Well, okay, that’s not a policy proposal, but I see you’ve got the beginnings of . . . . party. . policy? Maybe?

    Can you be a little more - y’know, government policy proposal-y? What you’d want the candidate to advocate for?

    Or were you just saying people weren’t allowed to crap on the DNC before the election and now that it’s lost people aren’t being allowed to crap on the DNC because instead of being insufferable assholes with nothing of value to add, actually, colonialist imperialist genocider corporate whores are preventing them from changing the world for good?



  • It’s true but not for the reasons we may default to believing. That they’re just stupid, bad people who hate because they don’t know better.

    Multiple times, I was told that Harris was a “communist”, “clueless” and that she had “thrown black men in jail for carrying one blunt”. One Latin American voter told me at length that she had “seen it all before in South America”.

    Those are all verbatim quotes from Fox News, redstate, talk radio, the massive ocean of right-wing bullshit that these fuckers dunk themselves in daily.

    We’re losing to this garbage propaganda because we don’t invest in and understand media. As a nation, we don’t understand it at all.

    It’s really that simple.
