You're fucking blind if you've been missing all of the "don't vote" or "vote 3rd party" propaganda around here.

[–] Dexx1s@lemmy.world -2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Soooo, where's the quote my guy? Instead of actually responding with something of worth, you make a piss poor insult that doesn't even make sense. I'm not even sure what part of my comment that's supposed to be in response to, because again, I'm not stupid. Why would any kind of propaganda work on me?

Nevertheless, seeing as you really don't have anything of substance to add, I guess we're done here.

I don't have to fall for your sealioning shit because everyone who's not a fucking troll already knows how bad it is lol

I'm just jumping in to call out your "oh we would never do such a horrible thing as not vote" bullshit. Fuck you, own it at least.

You don't know what sealionong is. 1. It has to be repetitive or be multiple requests 2. It has to be in spite of requests that were previously fulfilled. It's been one request. You said I misrepresented you. So quote where I did. It would literally be you scrolling up and copy/pasting it. It's one simple request. Hell, my comments have been far longer than yours. If anyone's a troll here, it's you. You've yet to make a substantial point.

And I might as well address your other comment in this one too.

The analogy was never about Democrats; it was about being able to criticize anyone while still accepting that they did a good thing overall. You're the dumb one that tried to jump all over the place.

I'm just jumping in to call out your "oh we would never do such a horrible thing as not vote" bullshit.

You mean the thing that you brought up? Absolutely nobody said anything about not voting. If this is a troll, at least do something that isn't this blatantly dumb. C'mon, at least make a comment that'll demand more than a quick 2-minute response from me. I clearly have the free time. I miss the days when trolls were at left somewhat intelligent. It's also an apt analogy for the situation it was actually getting used for. The other commenter was able to interact with it perfectly.

But you know what, I said I was done before and now I'm gonna stand by it unless you can actually back up the stupid claims you're making. Quote where I misrepresented you or I guess we really are done.

EDIT: Holy hell! I only now noticed that I'm responding to two different users tag teaming in and out. No way in hell someone's that dumb to not just point out that it's someone else. Dude really said sealioning.

My point was always: you can criticize a negative aspect of something without it being a criticism of the entire thing. That still holds true.

Sure, it's possible, but no one on lemmy is actually doing that and there's no way anyone is blind enough to not know that.

Behind every "criticism" of Democrats is a fucking Republican. This close to an election? On Lemmy? It's propaganda. Fuck that. Democrats did a good thing. Stop there.

I literally did.

Democrats did a good thing. Stop there.

Nah. You can't give me a good reason to do so because there isn't.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

I repeat

Behind every “criticism” of Democrats is a fucking Republican.
