    Left: It sure is a huge problem that there’s such a bipartisan effort in Washington to be corporate trash

    Lemmy: YEAH FUCK THE DEMOCRATS

    Left: I think we should get involved, maybe we could do campaign finance reform or get rid of FPTP or strengthen the progressive wing of the Democrats, or idk, fuckin something, this is horrible

    Lemmy: LET’S LET THE FASCIST WIN

      Everything in all caps is what centrists see when they encounter anything not in all caps.

        I must have missed your extensive explanation about how the Democrats are good, or we must not let the fascist win. Want to give me the cliffs notes version? Or just link me to it? I’d be happy to hear.

          Why? You’ll just do what you always do and assume that anything other than “Biden is perfect and young and I fucking love how he’s supporting genocide! Gosh, I can’t wait until the last Palestinian is dead!” means “I WANT TRUMP TO WIN BECAUSE I’M A BOT!”

            Dude

            What makes you this way

            I can go back in my history and find, not that long ago, me saying Biden is old as fuck and it’s a problem, a post from a while ago where I’m comparing the Biden State Dept to Nazis because of their support for the genocide, all kinds of stuff that is perfectly reasonable.

            YOU are the one using absurd strawmen here, because I’m not saying exactly what you want to hear.

            Why would you even open a conversation if you’re going to react to “please show me what you believe” with hostility and absurd strawmen. Just don’t talk to me.

              hostility and absurd strawmen

              Says the guy who posted absurd strawmen in all caps and doesn’t want anyone to say boo over it.

                Like I say, if that’s not what you think, I’d be happy to hear. If not, I’m not sure why you are talking to me.

                  When I saw your all-caps straw construction, I called it out for what it was.

                  My opinion doesn’t matter to you and never has, so pretending to give a shit now after months of bullshit assumptions and accusations isn’t convincing. Now call me a trumper or whatever it is you lot say now that you can’t accuse everyone who deviates from neoliberal orthodoxy of being a bot.

                    Dude

                    I have no idea; maybe I made some unfair accusation a while back and you sort of latched onto it and now everything has to be an argument.

                    (Actually I remember; I think I accused you of something and you said that’s not me and I said oh shit my bad what is the truth then?, and you went into like a monthlong snit about it instead and refused to answer.)

                    The all caps things, people on Lemmy are definitely saying. If that’s not you, then cool, let’s talk. I’m not sure why you would assert that no one is saying that, but sure.

                    I am on your side as far as genocide being a bad thing. Probably on some other issues. If you’re convinced that you need to attack me every time you see me, and say that I am lying and love genocide, so as to create a thing you can be pointlessly combative about, I won’t stop you. Have fun with it. I don’t plan to engage with it any further.
