Comment on What the democrats just did.
Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 7 hours agoAnd you think that responding to me in an argument is me attempting to engage an unwilling participant by use of bad faith inquiries.
I had no desire to engage on your terms. Since I’m not named netanyahu, you don’t care what I think.
Ah, yes, “Please don’t assist the fascist, he’s literally more pro-Israel than even Biden”, the sin that a Very Real Leftist™ like yourself could never forgive.
that hasn’t been your messaging. Your messaging has been constant abuse at anyone who doesn’t like genocide for any reason at all.
Any number of murdered minorities, after all, including additional murdered Palestinians, is worth your moral high ground of banging the drum against the great monolith of “The DEMS”
You preferred the murdered minorities over telling netanyahu no.
If people were blaming the shutdown on democrats, they would have lost. They won.
What the fuck?
Centrists can’t understand the concept of a mandate from the people.

… you’re literally here, engaging, albeit doing so with subpar literacy and reasoning skills.
Lord.
Fucking what.
Do you not understand what I’m saying, or is this non-sequitur intentional?
Or do you think I’m secretly Biden himself?
… fucking what.
Do you… do you not understand the difference between elections at different levels of government? Do you not understand the concept of popularity and unpopularity enduring from one moment to the next, as with Mamdani’s months-long lead, or are you incapable of conceptualizing anything outside of your immediate moment of consciousness right now?

But not on your terms.
There’s some of that abuse I mentioned. You just can’t help yourself.
That’s not a denial.
Understanding it and buying it are two different things.
No, you’re to his right.
I do. I also understand that the democrats’ brand was in the toilet because they did what pro-genocide anti-worker anti-healthcare centrists like you wanted for so long. The second it started looking like they were changing for the better and had acquired a spine, they started winning again.
Turns out, no. They were just pretending to have a spine until the polls closed. Yet another shutdown where democrats get nothing because they capitulate like you want.

You are literally responding to the points I raise, even if in a manner that gives no doubt as to your subpar (and by the already low standards of the American electorate) grasp of the issues.
Ah yes, the good old “I might be a genocide enabler, but you were mean to me, and that’s worse!”
You never fail to trot it out.
I’m sorry for your lack of reading comprehension.
Except I didn’t expect you to ‘buy it’, I expected you to understand it, which clearly you didn’t. That’s what a non-sequitur response is - one which does not address the original point at all, not one which disagrees with it or disputes some fundamental part of it.
Fucking lmao.
I’m sorry for being a Bernie and Mamdani supporter, an anti-Zionist, and a socialist, lmao.
Again, this reflects a truly astounding lack of understanding of the interplay of the Federal shutdown with state and municipal elections.
But I guess like a toddler enamored with a toy, there’s only room for one thing on your mind at any given moment.

You spent an entire year cheerleading the bidenyahu genocide while being abusive to anyone who doesn’t love it as much as you always have and always will.
You should be sorry for repeatedly lying like that.
Again, you have no idea of how branding works. Or you like the party’s current “fuck off if you’re not literally netanyahu” branding.
Anyone who wants to can look at your comments and see that you do nothing but namecall anyone who disagrees with the capitulation you enthusiastically support.
