This comment is a great example of the left going out of its way to piss off the left.
This comment is a great example of a troll being a troll
Edit: the point here was obviously that there was no reason to deride people with the same goal as yourself, especially considering Biden was the only safe choice until the moment he stepped down. Unless you called it that Harris could be this successful, you weren’t correct about anything enough to gloat and shame but even if you did call it, acting like this now just makes you pointlessly rude and divisive
Lay off them. I’ve interacted with them enough to know they’re genuine and not an absurdist. They were always intending to vote for Biden, they just had their criticisms – and as we see now, those criticisms proved to be quite good for us as a whole.
I find that logic just as absurd as you do, and I think people who branded Biden voters as genocide lovers were utter idiots. Do I like how things are going in Gaza? No. But did I still support Biden? Completely. That was the only candidate who would prevent things from getting worse and save some lives vs if Trump is elected instead.
I hope this establishes that I’m in agreement with you on a lot of our mindset. What I’m saying here is that Ensign Crab is not one of those people who says this either. You’re projecting Linker onto them. Ensign is critical of Democrats, but they were never as insane as Linker or “oh you must love children dying since you support Biden”. They’ve been very up front that they were going to vote Dem.
There’s no need to fight with them. We’re on the same team. You’re both decent people. Let’s celebrate another voter coming to Harris, and move on.
This is exactly what all of us should be thinking. Regardless of what you thought of Biden’s earlier prospects, it’s clear that Harris is far stronger. We needed to vote Democrat to stop fascism. Having a stronger candidate now is fantastic.
You noted something interesting and concerning earlier – Harris has at least one vote now that she didn’t before, but the reception to that has been icy. People should be happy about this, not pissed. I don’t agree with them not voting for Biden, but I’m thrilled they want to vote for Harris and join the coalition.
A lot of these people here remind me of performative leftists, but this time, as moderates. They should be happy that Democrats have another vote. Instead they’re annoyed and bringing up grievances. It’s performative, because they’d clearly rather get one up over Biden detractors than actually get more votes and see their supposed ideals achieved.
Anyway. I also wanted to say that I appreciate you. You’ve always been very clear that while you had misgivings with Biden, you were still going to vote for him because the stakes are high. I’m sorry you’re getting dragged by idiots, and I hope you don’t let it bother you. It’s clear to me that you want Democrats to win so fascism doesn’t take over, and so that we can actually pass some left wing policies. Thank you for that.
Sorry. I shouldn’t have judged you based on a single comment.
(We both know I wasn’t, and was instead judging you based on your long history of vicious hostility towards anyone who wasn’t 100% on board with Biden’s genocide support, but sure. I’ll entertain your bad faith bullshit yet again. Let’s pretend I was judging you based on a single comment).
I should have asked instead of assuming. How happy are you that the octogenarian genocide supporter dropped out of the race in favor of a candidate who can actually win?
anyone who wasn’t 100% on board with Biden’s genocide support
Ah yes, a completely reasonable and good-faith attempt at discourse and in no way a bullshit attempt at smearing anyone who doesn’t use the exact same rhetoric as yourself
Wtf are you even talking about exactly? I’m glad she is the nominee, it improves our chances, and never once said anything slightly against Harris. The people with the most severe confirmation bias also tend to be extremists who label anyone not with their identical same opinion as a sociopath
Lemme guess what the ridiculous implication was here… that I adore the fuck out of genocide, right? That I bathe in the blood of brown children? Or would you have worded it more hyperbolically?
So you deny you’re making a bizarre false accusation about me liking genocide then? Wait actually you just kinda admitted to that beyond-bullshit attack. Whoops
You should examine why you want everyone who disagrees with you in any way to be bloodthirsty monster who loves genocide. You seem to forget that shit discredits you to most anyone who doesn’t think identically to yourself

I know she’s not your first choice, but Netanyahu can’t run.
Ah look another liar. Linkerbaan’s turn to sleep eh?

Hey you disagree with me. That means you support genocide! /s

I wish I could agree with you but right here is what prompted the argument: “I know she’s not your first choice, but Netanyahu can’t run.”
To me that’s just a little more obtuse way of saying the same.
Remember to vote blue no matter who. I’m glad Biden stepped down and we have a candidate who can win now.
I very much doubt you are.

People who judge based on a single comment (and are radically wrong AF) aren’t helpful to anyone who cares an ounce

It’s not a smear. I’m accurately describing your attitude to people who oppose genocide.
Harris picked up a voter, so you’re mad.

Ew. Keep your fantasies to yourself.

Harris picked up a vote that Biden wouldn’t have got. You should examine why that bothers you so much.

I do not identify with the American left.
