Tell me you don’t understand how party politics & voting work without telling me you don’t understand how party politics & voting work
…to someone who clearly does understand how party politics and voting work, but it understandably disillusioned by the fact that we have two right-wingers to choose from, albeit one much further to the right than the other. Completely handwaves the negative effects of Democrats’ actions, which are very much in need of criticism.
I voted for Biden, but it’s been increasingly disappointing to watch stuff like this. Biden opened more concentration camps, Biden continued the wall, Biden took power away from railroad workers in favor of his own lobbyists’ approach, and supported the IRS in auditing unprecedented numbers of low wage earners. We need to talk about these things. This partisan teat-sucking shit needs to stop.
And if that’s “just how the system works,” then we need a new one. If families need to be imprisoned while Washington moves glacially, then fuck anything and anyone who enables that.
Ironically, by calling everyone a Russian psy-op who dares criticize the party, Democrats are alienating all except their most conservative voters.
Sadly, people can see right through it, and with every legitimate criticism of the DNC that gets handwaved away with gaslighting or gets dismissed as mere trolling, more leftist voters are discouraged from believing the Democrats are even willing to start conversations that could lead to real systemic change for the better. It’s sad to see the same partisan teat-sucking from Democrats that we see from Republicans.
Hey now, as an upper-middle class politically “center” white heterosexual cis male with “I don’t have to shave daily” five o’clock shadow, I’m offended 🥸
Waiting for one of them to chime in with why the person depicted in the meme is good actually
Something something marketplace of ideas
It’s the guy above in this thread saying “Strawman arguments are so boring & ineffectual.”
Yes, I saw that one.
I’ve also seen that user in other posts, behaving just as you’d expect lol
I looked at their history and didn’t really see anything like that. Remember an example?

Obvious gaslighting is how that sort of person concedes an argument.
