Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

... You didn't listen. Democrats don't say that. They say that it cancels out what Republicans are doing. Not that it cancels out Republicans.
So, yes, it does suck to suck. You either don't know what you're talking about, or you are lying. It's that simple, buddy.
Ok, so first of all, you american dipshits annoy the crap out of me with your overuse of the word listen. I am reading, you aren't saying a word to me. Always saying LiStEn like your conversation partner is soem kind of 3 year old. That's besides the point.
The first sentence of your previous comment said "...I don't think republicans say it cancels out anything.". I then told you that is exactly what they were saying when the gerrymandering shit was brought up, if you want to know when I heard it, that was a year ago. Now you're telling me you meant the democrats don't say that. You're inconsistent, possibly in your understanding of what I am saying.
And yes, democrats are canceling out the gerrymandering in Texas with their own in California.
So may I say, you don't read.
Sorry you don't like de lingua, buddy. I can adjust that, but your comments weren't particularly helpful in that regard.
I think you're taking what I said too literally. Fair, I said it's not canceling out something, but that refers to an act, as you can imply from the second post, not a group of people, but I do see the confusion.
Personally, I don't see people and actions as the same, so if you do, then that would be our miscommunication. Does that help, compadre? It's sorta like a guy stopping fire fighters and another guy stopping that guy and you're over here going "Wow, can't believe these two guys are both stopping people." Does that make sense to someone that acts like a three year old but definitely isn't?
I'm just gonna ignore the first part of your post, because that seems like we would just have an infinite back and forth.
To use your mental image to reiterate: I was not standing there saying "Wow, I can't believe these two guys are stopping people.".
I was standing there, saying to someone else " Hey, they both are stopping people, but are saying they are right."
The appropriate response would have been "Well, one of them is wrong." and not "Fuck, you're an arsonist?".
I can just say it again for clarity if you want. I don't think you understand what I am after, even though I've spelled it out multiple times.
I am also completely perplexed that a person from lemmy.world just called me comrade lmaoo.
Compadre? Compadre is not uncommon here in the States, especially in the South, due to the dialectical intermingling of Spanish. Though it is similar, it has different connotations than comrade, but, you know, I don't read, so I can't tell the difference.
Sorry, I don't know that word, since I'm neither a southern nor an american or from that side of the world, nor am I a native english speaker, so I assumed you spelt comrade wrong.
Highly recommend it. Sounds cool. Sounds like kum-pah-dray. Roll the R. Means companion or friend. Let's you say howdy and y'all for free.
