    I truly wish we could have a good faith conversation about the extreme shortcomings of the Democratic Party. That’s a good and valuable conversation to have. But Lemmy is absolutely INFESTED with “hello there, fellow Leftists” types who exclusively attack Democrats and are deafeningly silent about Republicans.

    I consider the majority of this site as MAGA-compromised enemy territory. Any criticism about Democrats without at least a preferatory “Republicans are way worse” is immediately suspect.

      You will never admit that they have any at all.

      Yes, when you pretend that everyone to your left is all the way to your right, you get to dismiss everyone to your left. Pretty sure that’s the only time you have anything bad to say about anyone you claim to be to your right.

        Yeah Cryophillia has previously dismissed me. I wonder if they’ll forget this next time they say I’m somehow an Ultra Secret Double Agent Trump supporter.

        Never in a million years, next time someone says “I don’t think Biden should have slowed Trump’s arrest.” they’ll just go “huh, must be a Russian bot.”

        Anyone to the left of Reagan/Biden is a Tankie to them.

          I know you absolutely have an agenda that perfectly dovetails with the Russian one, except you occasionally (and seemingly accidentally) veer into sanity for brief periods. Makes conversation more fun.

            Yes, I am a secret russian, despite the fact Putin should be hanged and I want a free Ukraine. And I hate how Lenin killed the anarchists in Ukraine.

            You see red and only see Republican, ignoring the other contexts of colors in history, everyone is political cartoon, 2D and exaggerated.

        Hey guess what happened with them again within 24 hours, I think they have some form of memory loss.
