Newly released files show how Maria Farmer, who worked for Mr. Epstein in the 1990s, had urged the F.B.I. to investigate him. The case went nowhere for years.

Saying shit like “the Democratic party revolves around genocide” is what gets you push back.

From people who know it's true, love it, and never want it to change except for the worse. When their actions indicate that they support another policy with greater persistence and enthusiasm, I'll believe the party actually has other policies.

No, you just have a weird fixation with associating the Democratic Party with genocide by the looks of your last series of comments. I wouldn't be surprised if your entire comment history is peppered with shit-talking on only one side. It doesn't seem to phase commenters like you that the Trump administration is just as friendly with Israel. How come you're silent about that?

No one argues with me when I say that trump is pro-genocide, for one. But I'll admit that I'm intensely bitter about democrats' support for genocide. No political party in the US should ever support genocide, and yet even the "good" party does. I'm livid at all the procedural bullshit they applied toward making sure they didn't keep their campaign promises, while breaking actual law to support genocide.

Just because I fucking hate democrats for what they did, that doesn't mean I don't hate the republicans they keep trying to be for showing them what policies to espouse.

That said, the insinuation that anyone who has a problem with literal genocide must be a republican is a centrist go-to, and it's the least surprising comment in the whole thread.

Huh, if only you'd invest that much of your anger towards the administration that's actively trying to engage in genocide right now. Idk if you saw, but that link was from 4 hours ago. Where's the outrage? Or is it that much more important to get your fix by picking a fight on Lemmy about an administration that's not even in power right now?

the insinuation that anyone who has a problem with literal genocide must be a republican is a centrist go-to.

The insinuation that anyone who complains about you endlessly complaining about genocide must be a centrist is also quite something.

Huh, if only you could admit that genocide was wrong, you wouldn't have to keep making allegations that anyone who doesn't love it like you do must be a trumper.

Genocide is wrong. Boom. There you go. What else do you want? You're so ridiculous.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

A party that doesn't support it.

Best I can do is a grande mocha latte with chocolate sprinkles. I hope that's ok with you.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

More than the party is willing to do. And no, it isn't.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 0 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Too bad. I'm not in a position to do anything else for you, and I doubt anyone else in this comment section is. It sounds like you're wasting your time yelling at clouds or something.

I mean, they could stop making excuses like the "the FBI has never been headed by a dem appointee" garbage. But you and I both know that's never gonna happen since this is lemmy.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 0 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, that's a common thing that people criticize the Dems for. Sounds legit.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

It's literally in this thread. Gaslighting is abuse and you should stop.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Awesome that you hand-picked your example to generalize it to everyone, and started abusing the term gaslighting to portray yourself as the victim to divert from the point and get some sympathy points. Good job. Sounds like you do this a lot.
