    Democrats need to fall in love. Republicans just need to fall in line.

    It’s like you read the meme and went yep, totally their fault. I’m ok with my life gets shittier until I fall in love with a politician. It’s not my fault. I am owed this.

    Is there a term for the political version of an incel?

      Yes. It’s called a political agitator.

      This user canvases lemmy threads with anti Biden and anti Dem strawman arguments completely out of context of the thread. Every thread calling out Republicans for bullshit, this user is there never acknowledging how terrible the GOP is, and going straight into anti dem whataboutism.

      Just look at the sheer number of comments this user posts daily. And search the mod logs for deleted comments on this user.

      If they’re not being paid to disenfranchise progressive voters into abstaining from this election, they should look for a sponsor because they’re working for free.

          Your car has a blown head gasket. It still turns over, but the check engine light is always an on the oil looks like peanut-butter.

          You need to drive 100 miles to get to the airport tomorrow. All the indications you have suggest your car isn’t going to make it. Every piece of reliable data you have says its not going to work. Historically, people have tried to use cars like this to get to the air port, it doesn’t work. You have friends and family members with cars would happily drive you to the airport. You could even just borrow their car. Technically you haven’t decided what car to drive to the airport yet; this actually doesn’t happen till you and your family have a group call tonight. You have alternatives.

          Biden is the car. Literally any generic Democrat is the car of your friends or family. The group call is the convention.

          You are insisting on a strategy that is going to hand Trump the election. When it does, we’ll be pointing to these posts of yours.

          Insisting we run Biden when we haven’t had a convention and literally every Democratic governor polls higher is you insisting we lose this one.

              You are the one not taking it seriously. I watched Kerry fail to Bush. I watched Clinton fail to Trump.

              Biden won in 2020 in spite of being Biden. It’s 4 years later and he’s become a worse candidate. This candidate can’t win.

              You need to take this shit seriously instead of insisting on a strategy that guarantees us Trump.

                  Don’t block these guys, it’s what they want.

                  And I don’t mean that in a “don’t give them the satisfaction” way. I mean that’s what they’re paid to do. When people like us block people like them, it’s easier for them to spread their propaganda. Because we don’t call it out, because we don’t see it.

                  Blocking someone is not silencing them, it’s just plugging your ears.

                  You are completely detached from reality. Go look up the Gallup polling data and check my methods. I’ve explained them clearly enough to be reproduced.

                  You aren’t interested in a conversation grounded in reality, and you just can’t comprehend something that doesn’t agree with your assumptions.

                  Bidens not winning this election. He hasn’t been the whole time. In 450 days he hasn’t been leading in polling. He’s a fucking disaster, and you and others who insist this guy who is visibly incapable of winning are the ones responsible for Trump.
