Had a lib (of course with an Israel flag in their handle) legitimately tell me that Leftists successfully convinced millions not to vote over on Lemmy.world yesterday.

[–] [email protected] 82 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Damn, if we held so much power the dems should have done more to court our influence! Too bad they love genocide more than they want to win.

[–] [email protected] 69 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Literally what I told them, either Leftists didn't make a difference and Harris floundered on her own, or Leftists made a huge difference and Harris intentionally rejected them, failing.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I've had that same argument, turns into "well if she did that she'd lose more moderates than she'd gain leftists!!1!"

Tell em that Biden ran a more progressive campaign and churned out voters, same as Bernie, and voter turnout was far higher.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not worth it, they're still seething let reality sink in a bit and let them get off "must defend Harris unconditionally" mode

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Nah dunk on them while they're angry. Rub salt in the wound, wash it with iodine or clear alcohol and sterilize it.

we sneaky leftists tricked the democrat leadership into tacking to the right wing, thereby making it easy to disillusion and dissolve their bloc.

those smol bean millionaire consultants and party bosses walked right into our trap!

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 week ago (1 children)

All for the well known leftist goal of getting a fascist elected.

Haven't you heard of horseshoe theory? :smuglord:

Meanwhile we’re over here like, “PSL got over 100k!!!!”

For sure, not trying to downplay it. Just funny how it’s off by an entire order of magnitude from what libs think we’re capable of at the moment.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago

It is worse than that because we had to get those witheld votes done in each individual state, not as a block, so we would have had to have organized state... organizations

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 week ago

Did they??? Fuck in my state there where like a dozen write ins generally one of em mine for PSL. Oh knows what the others were.

That's sweeet

315 in my super conservative county in FL

I need to find these people.

Wasn't there that website that fashies were using to track peoples voting records, maybe you could make friends with it 🫠

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The ones that didn't vote are mostly disenfranchised life long Dems and Repubs, I fucking promise.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 week ago

I 100% agree, that's why the situation is ripe for radicalization.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We have the power to convince people not to vote, but not to get them to vote for our candidate, apparently.

Enemy is weak yet strong, yada yada yada

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That shit really makes my blood boil. I work tirelessly at Langley to prevent that exact thing from happening! If a leftist is posting too good then I report them to get injected with cringe takes and nanobots. You think I'm just twiddling my thumbs if someone starts rocking the boat??? Sincerely, fuck you!

I have a bunch of coworkers who love using .world too! They sort of look at me funny because I have to monitor "that website where the pig shits itself." But .world and Langley are literally on the same side so it's extra hurtful when they belittle my job like that. It feels like a betrayal, honestly...

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's correct. It was all me. My posts are that powerful.

Leftists successfully convinced millions not to vote

and I'll do it again

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 week ago

Real "the enemy is both strong and weak" shit from libs these days i-am-adolf-hitler

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And if our demands aren't met, we'll fucken do it again

How the Israeli flag is not immediately subconsciously synonymous with disinformation for everyone at this point is beyond me.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago

Hasbara gonna hasbara.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago

Very encouraging to hear that there's 16,000,000 marxist leninists in America

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If anything the people making fun of third party votes were probably far more successful at suppressing voter turnout.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago

I agree to an extent, my position is more that Harris fumbled the ball hard by not promising popular policies like Medicare for All or ending the genocide.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

And I’ll do it again, too!

That day, four 19 year old pole-jockeys (not S.W term) got shifted from information systems to janitorial. For once, they'd have some use.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

the schrodinger leftist who is simultaneously weak and pathetic, but also has the power to swing entire big country elections

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It sometimes surprises even me how much more sense the world makes after reading theory. Like, of course the liberal with a fascist flag in their handle is using fascist rhetoric, "the enemy is both weak and strong." Marx and Lenin are vindicated every fucking day that passes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I agree, comrade.
