This is way more convincing than electoral data.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You literally asked if they were in the room with us right now.

Like, I don't know how much more 'in the room with us' you want.

But I would say non-voters who deliberately made a choice not to vote based on supposed left-leanings on prominent issues were more important, and, in fact, threw the election to Trump, and I can back that with electoral data if you like.

Is this your first day on the internet? You don’t understand metaphor?

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

"Are the X in the room with us right now" is a sarcastic idiom implying that whatever is being talked about isn't real within the context of what is being responded to. 'Metaphor' doesn't mean "My words mean nothing", it means "My words have a meaning that is not directly literal".

Yes, so where are the numbers showing third party voters spoiled Harris’ victory?

Then explain WHY anyone owes democrats their vote after decades of sabotaging the working class.

And I won’t accept “b-b-but they’re the lesser of two evils” or “primaries are the time to disagree.”

See the establishment reaction to Mamdani for why that’s absolute BS.

Establishment democrats aren’t progressive but demand our votes as if they were.

I'm sorry that you're yet another privileged leftist who thinks that marginalized groups have to earn our right to live by [checks notes] making sure Blue Circus is entertaining enough for you.

Truly, thank you for supporting our genocide.

[–] StarryPhoenix97@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Go to a protest, go door to door, try calling people. Or try to figure out how to escape before the genocide. You're not doing anything useful here.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I already attend local protests; I have no real options for escaping before the genocide. I'm resigned to dying here, if that's what it comes to. Asspatting leftists for sentencing me to death is not only not useful from your end, but actively counterproductive - but I understand that the lives of the marginalized are less important than being buddy-buddy with your favorite self-righteous pro-genocide commenters.

You don't know anything about me or my policies and opinions. I can't stop you from vilifying me but speaking frankly, I expect to die in the camps right next to you. Either way. I wish you more to your day than bitterness.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I'm 'villifying' you for the positions you've taken here in defense of allowing Nazis, ffs.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

God forbid the “progressive” party have progressive policies or do anything progressive.

Thanks for giving us republicans and diet republicans.

This fiasco is on YOU.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago

God forbid the “progressive” party have progressive policies or do anything progressive.

God forbid progressives actually show up to the primaries. Sorry for voting for Bernie in 2016 and 2020; it seems I was the only fucking one.

Thanks for giving us republicans and diet republicans.

lmao

This fiasco is on YOU.

Anything to avoid the fact that you supported the literal Nazis. I guess virtue signaling about how pure your soul is doesn't feel as good knowing that you're helping murder marginalized groups.

Enjoy the blood on your hands.
