It's more like 30% and that's with Americans being some of the most wildly mis-educated people out there. I'm sick of seeing sortition shit, but sicker still of misanthropy.
I think it's only people who are either in office or running for office, not former pols that happen to have not died yet. I don't know all these people though, so I might be wrong.
God damn, people always jump to this. You remember what the post is about, right? How these people are our class enemies. "He's actually even more of a billionaire" is not praise in this context.
Try getting GarbageShootAlt2 to criticise the republican party. You’ll find the conversation quickly turns to how awful the democratic party is. It’ll tale a long time, but it will ALWAYS come back to that.
That wasn't "now let me criticize Trump. Whoops! Kamala-posting!" That was me answering why communists are so keen to criticize democrats, while also explaining that they do criticize Republicans. That entails covering both subjects, so you're just attacking me for answering a question as though it was a completely different prompt.
dismissive
God forbid I be dismissive to someone going on rants about how his enemies are secret agents. You literally just don't understand how people communicate and turned it into a conspiracy theory.
You think republicans aren’t all over your instance lying to convince folks like you to not vote democratic? That’s naive. That’s really naive.
You think Republicans bother with a few thousand nobodies on a niche platform? That's self-important. That's really self-important.
You probably think putin is a communist!
You're a fucking idiot with no ability to understand other people's interiorities. No communist believes this.
Only some useful idiot neoliberals do, and even among them it is rare.
Edit: I disagree with the removal, but I won't lose sleep over it. You were, it must be stressed, accusing someone of being a secret Republic operator with your "evidence" being them saying "cope" to you once.
Putting pressure on her. If she wants to win, she needs to pivot on Palestine. If she chooses not to, she is choosing for Trump to win rather than for Palestine to stop being genocided. It is her job to get votes if democracy actually exists in this country, not the job of the people to vote for her.
This does have the very real potential consequence of Trump winning, neither I nor anyone else here as hesitated to say that. However, Trump does not represent a totalizing threat like I described in my last comment. He toys with fascist rhetoric, but he is in no way a serious fascist the way someone like Ron DeSantis or Tom Cotton is. My interest is in creating a serious left opposition prior to them being the Republican frontrunners, because this "wait until next election, now wait until next election" is just a stalling tactic to prevent the left from making any progress with the Democrats move further and further right, taking up old Republican policies like Trump's old immigration policy.
I don't think you understand; I'm not joking. If you legitimately see such ridiculous conspiracies that easily and then fervently hold on to them, accusing the people who disagree with you of being in on it, you should see a psychiatrist (or tell the current one about this dynamic). I don't know what it is or what more you should do about it, that's for a professional to figure out. Obviously I don't think you'll listen to me on that, I'm just trying to convey my earnestness.
I feel more comfortable making fun of people who -- while sometimes probably mentally ill the same degree that I am -- are able to talk about a common reality. Making fun of foolishness is enjoyable, making fun of illness is cruel.
Try getting linkerbaan to criticise trump. You’ll find the conversation quickly turns to how awful Harris is.
This part I'll touch on because it's a common misconception among liberals like yourself, especially on .world. We communists don't spend an especially large portion of our time criticizing Trump because what is wrong with Trump is obvious, not because we secretly like him. We do still criticize him though and have threads on a daily basis (headlines allowing) talking about what a dumb chauvinist he is. This account is an alt for my Hexbear account, so I can mainly speak to that one. If you go to that website and search for threads on Trump, you'll find plenty and they generally are filled with people making some combination of serious criticisms along with more frivolous ones about how the dumb shit he says is less funny than it used to be (like remember when he quoted "Two Corinthians" in front of some Christian university to try to pander to evangelicals? I was laughing for a week).
But aside from when some new story is especially heinous (like immigrants "eating pets") and where it's entertaining, Communists tend to find it more important to criticize Democrats not because they are worse but because they require more calling out. It's like what Malcolm X said about the Wolf and the Fox, where the Wolf bares its teeth at you and you know immediately what your relationship to it is, but the Fox shows its teeth as a smile, as though it is trying to befriend you. Most people understand the Wolf (though some unfortunately still support it), many people misunderstand the Fox.
Israel does not own the US, the US allows AIPAC to exist to maintain its own interest among congresspeople (etc.). Only one of them is existentially dependent on their working together, and it's not the US (though the US massively benefits).
I don't care which neoliberal party wins one specific presidential election. I don't think on alarmist timelines where every successive election is The Most Important Election of Our Lifetime and carries a totalizing importance that makes all the rest of the future a footnote. What I care more about are the substantive elements of party platforms and how those platforms change, and if one of them can change at all, it's the Democrats.
He wasn't saying "Yes, that is correct and you can cope about it," he was saying "You're making things up to cope about what I'm saying". Imagining in your pathetic fantasy that he was a Republican Operative and you're the Ace Detective Sherlock who discovered this, why the fuck would he blow his own cover on the same forum he was agitating on and then continue agitating on the same platform under his blown cover? You are genuinely delusional and I don't want to be ableist, so we should probably stop talking because only a doctor is qualified to engage with you on these grandiose flights of fancy where you are engaging in internet forum spy battles against the GOP.
Oh, have you officially inducted me into being a secret Republican now? Please, keep displaying your crankery, it makes supporters of democrats look as deranged as they are.
You have no evidence! The one time you purported to present evidence, it was just someone denying and mocking you evidence-less claims! Your political "advocacy" is a joke if you have no way to interface with contrary opinions except to pigeonhole them into one specific opinion, even if it requires harebrained conspiracy theories!
You do more to discredit the democrats than Linkerbaan does. Are you a Republican asset?
Harris: Literally supports the ongoing genocide and promises that she will keep arming the genocider, but says that she supports the victims (while doing nothing to support them
Trump: Voices explicit support for Israel's ongoing genocide, the one Biden is bankrolling and Harris swears up and down she will support
Liberals pretending to care about human life: "Can't you see the substantial practical difference here?"
You'll notice I also said you're just coping. I agree with Linkerbaan's actual opinion and you can stick to your conspiracy theories. It's not like they're going to dox themselves to prove such a ridiculously frivolous accusation wrong.
AfD polls lower than Trump, did any of those others poll higher?
