You’re really mad that someone reported the threats you made?

You’re right, because I don’t support genocide.
You are one of the loudest champions for the bidenyahu genocide.

You’re getting nitpicky. But you’re right. Making excuses for the people who capitulated like you wanted them to is words, not actions. Your words excusing them put the lie to your claim that you don’t support them. Excuses are support.

Sorry, was that too far back for you to remember?
No, I just don’t believe you. You claim that you don’t support them while supporting them by making excuses for them. Actions speak louder.
Where the fuck did I say otherwise?
Oh. I see. You’re defending useless democrats because they were more steadfast in support of genocide than they are for healthcare.

Is it that you can’t parse what I’m saying,

Ah yes, the good old “I might be a genocide enabler, but you were mean to me, and that’s worse!”
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.
I’m sorry for being a Bernie and Mamdani supporter, an anti-Zionist, and a socialist, lmao.
You should be sorry for repeatedly lying like that.
Again, this reflects a truly astounding lack of understanding of the interplay of the Federal shutdown with state and municipal elections.
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.
But I guess like a toddler
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.
- Comment on What the democrats just did. 5 hours ago:
The same voters who increasingly blamed the Dems for the shutdown as it’s dragged on?
I suppose we’ll see if capitulation makes them more popular.
I’m sorry that you live in a fantasy land instead of the real world.
Says the guy who is trying to convince people that capitulation is a good thing after the party was rewarded for standing its ground.

… you’re literally here, engaging
But not on your terms.
albeit doing so with subpar literacy and reasoning skills.
There’s some of that abuse I mentioned. You just can’t help yourself.
that hasn’t been your messaging. Your messaging has been constant abuse at anyone who doesn’t like genocide for any reason at all.
Lord.
That’s not a denial.
Do you not understand what I’m saying, or is this non-sequitur intentional?
Understanding it and buying it are two different things.
Or do you think I’m secretly Biden himself?
No, you’re to his right.
Do you… do you not understand the difference between elections at different levels of government?
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.
- Comment on What the democrats just did. 6 hours ago:
If you think that the FEDERAL shutdown was a major issue for the Mayor of New York City (who had been leading in the polls for months) and the governorship of New Jersey and Virginia (where the polls had also been clear since before the shutdown), you’re out of your gourd.
If you think that the voters didn’t respond well to a party that was finally pretending to start stand up for them, you have no idea how branding works. Well, at least they capitulated like they do on everything but genocide support, so healthcare subsidies are going away. So it’s a win for you.
- Comment on What the democrats just did. 6 hours ago:
And 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.
- Comment on What the democrats just did. 6 hours ago:
But they HAD to! The shutdown was so UNPOPULAR that democrats all LOST in the most recent election!
/s not because the sarcasm isn’t obvious, but because I don’t trust centrists to ignore the sarcasm on purpose.
- Comment on What the democrats just did. 6 hours ago:
The meaning of Sea Lioning is not “Refutes my points 😭” but “Insists on an engagement by bad faith inquiries”
Yes. Which is what you were doing, and your comments
Where did I excuse their actions?
By pretending they had reason to fear continuing the shutdown. You know better.
I’ve been calling out Israeli genocide and advocating against all US aid for Israel for longer than Lemmy has existed, but go off, I guess.
And then started advocating for those who enabled netanyahu as soon as you made a lemmy account for some reason.
If people were blaming the shutdown on democrats, they would have lost. They won. Now their voters are seeing that they’ve been had. Your wing of the party shamelessly betrayed its voters. Well, they didn’t betray you.
- Comment on What the democrats just did. 6 hours ago:
So no response to actual evidence that the voters weren’t behind them, cool.
You’re not owed interaction on your terms. You’re not entitled to a debate, sea lion.
I don’t support the 8 Dems who broke ranks
You are by making excuses for their actions. And I don’t believe for an instant that you don’t support this. You had your one little poll just ready to go for when your wing of the party did what you wanted, just like you spent an entire year supporting them BECAUSE they were selling weapons to netanyahu.
- Comment on What the democrats just did. 9 hours ago:
You just defend the worst actions of democrats no matter what they do.
- Comment on What the democrats just did. 9 hours ago:
They held out until the election was over. They had the voters behind them on this and naturally betrayed them immediately as soon as they got what they wanted.

Harassing the underpaid workers is your solution?
They’re already harassed and their conditions are already deteriorating. The only way that will ever improve is if there is no profit in mistreating them, since there is no party interested in improving things for workers in this country.
One thing ive noticed is that the younger generation, which I assume you are
One thing I’ve noticed is that boomers think that if you disagree with them, it means you must be younger than them and therefore wrong.
have a lot of desire to change capitalism but absolutely shit poor ideas how to do it.
As opposed to no desire to change capitalism and infinite excuses to prevent such change.
Im not saying I have any great ideas either.
Or any desire to formulate any.
But making the already suffering employees suffer more will not lead to changes. You know that.
They will have to suffer more regardless. Capitalism demands more work for the same wages over time. And inflation guarantees that wages’ ability to pay for a living decrease over time.
I know I disagree with you so you immediately assume I’m a child incapable of giving anything any thought. I work in a customer-facing position. I have my own set of ways to gum up the works for my sector of the economy. Yes, some of the things I listed are aggravating to workers. The ones I have for my job are based on personal experience and I know I would hate them too. But every last one of them was selected to maximize time and resources wasted first and foremost, with the goal of causing actual diminution of the fortunes of the company. If it’s just a dick move to the employees, if it causes them suffering without also harming the company’s bottom line in some way, I didn’t include it. Except maybe the dumb questions thing. That’s probably a bridge too far.

Pick a chain. One that’s everywhere. Then pick a day to start and a condition for ceasing. Then get the word out.
The thing is to be indistinguishable from a run of the mill garbage customer, so if they crack down on people for acting like that, they’ll piss off the boomers who genuinely act like that as a matter of course.
- Comment on Why aren't people harassing marketers? 1 day ago:
I’m increasingly of the opinion that the only way to stop the excesses of capitalism is with a concerted effort to gum up the works, one business at a time, from most to least evil.
Everyone who has worked retail knows how to waste the company’s time, money, and effort.
Let’s say it’s a chain of megamarts:
Pick a busy day. Load up a cart with rotisserie chickens, raw meat, and ice cream, and abandon it in the garden center. Window shop and ask as many questions as possible of every employee you encounter. Ask dumb questions. Ask what the battery life on a pair of wired headphones is. Ask how many eggs are in a dozen. How do they know the chicken is boneless? Have they looked? Don’t buy anything you ask all the questions about. Buy only loss leaders. Pay with a combination of loose change, a check, and a card you know will decline at the end. “Oh wait I need just one more thing. I’ll just be a second!” then leave through the garden center. Go to the automotive center and talk to them about financing a large tire purchase. Back out at the last second. Get paint mixed and then wander off absentmindedly while they’re mixing it. Pretend to be interested in signing up for their store credit card. There are so many time wasting questions you can ask about a credit card. And so many ways to fill out a form incorrectly so it’s useless. Try to pay with any coupon but one that you know will work. Expired coupons. Coupons for other stores. Coupons from defunct stores. Coupons from Arby’s. Chuck E Cheese tokens. Gift certificates from that one comic book shop across town that’s run by a sweet old man that still uses gift certificates because he’s old fashioned that way. Traveler’s cheques. Ask if your membership card from their direct competitor entitles you to any discounts. If you speak a language other than English, that is now your only language. You understand English only when it is disadvantageous to the company for you to do so.
Time is money. Waste their money. And since this is being done to one business at a time, their competitors don’t have an entire movement of people acting like plausibly deniable problem customers dragging them down. You’re distorting the margin at which they can operate. If they raise prices while it takes forever to buy anything in the stores, well, none of their competitors have that problem.
Yet.
Leave glowing reviews of every low-level employee you encounter. Tip them. Make up a few employees and give them glowing reviews. Leave scathing reviews of anyone in management you encounter.
