I'm just preemptively going to write this in expectation of the influx of weirdos who will shout something about bots or shills because someone dares suggest democrats suck ass.

  1. People are vocal about not voting for democrats all the time, you just do not notice when you brain hasn't been primed for the bi-yearly vooooote
  2. It's election season, so it is not at all surprising that more people are talking about politics
  3. Do you really think that any government would waste resources creating a tiny bot farm for some niche webforum run by communists? Get your head out of your ass.
  4. Do you hold the same reservations when you see someone trying to get you to vote democrat? It's not like they don't also use bot farms

The report found that pro-Democratic activists using the hashtag #BlueCrew played a key role in spreading the discredited idea that the shooting of Trump in Butler was fake or staged.

NCRI identified 951 accounts that engaged in “coordinated inauthentic activity” associated with a pro-Harris campaign called #BlueCrew. Those accounts posted nearly 2 million times from July 10 to Oct. 10, “exhibiting behavior indicative of organized efforts to amplify specific narratives,” the report says, most notably the narrative that Trump was not shot.

Of course anybody who agrees with you is obviously a human. Nobody could disagree with you, they would have to be subhuman to do so.

    I dont know how hard it is to grasp a concept that someone not as evil can still be evil and DO collude with the more eveil person. Its like saying oh well person A kills pet dogs so we HAVE to votr for person B who onlyercilessly beats pet dogs, wont ever punish the dog killer and wont enact any laws to stop the dog killer even

    Oops was meant to be a reply but oh well, everyone knows the type of comment im responding to

    To be fair wouldn’t they both be banging kids?

    It's not even private, they're friends openly. Like Trump and the Clintons. He was a Democrat, so was musk, now we see they're both been fascists the entire time.

    Shining a light on reality doesn't make us divided, denying reality does. We can acknowledge our problems and still be a team, a more honest one.

    I know but a lot of this both sides rhetoric just reduces voter turnout out and the republicans win.

    The other side sees it as lying. We need to build bridges imo.

    one side believes discrimination is completely unacceptable and the other belives it in necessary, there won't be any bridges between those sides anytime soon

    The sides here are leftists on one side and dems/rebuplicans on the other, right? I was writing out a comment as if that's not what you meant before I realized I probly misinterpreted your comment

    thinking about my argument more made me realize that actually all sides love discrimination, it's just that sone like to claim it isn't discrimination.

    (I was initially thinking of democrats/left vs republicans because one side is openly racist and the other claims to opposes it)

    Well, the actual left (as opposed to "democrats/'left'") wants to do away with the prison-industrial complex, borders, means-testing, etc, and ofc capitalism itself- all of which are just dressed up systemic discrimination. I don't think it's fair to say that leftists love discrimination. Some leftists (namely "tankies") believe in what you might consider discrimination as a means to an end, but I don't think that means they love discrimination itself

    If gruesome Newsom is the Democrat's presidential candidate like they keep working him towards, I'm going to sit out on that one. Dude is no different from Republicans. I'll still vote and strive for left leaning local candidates and in congress especially, but I aint getting burnt by this shit again.

    I am afraid it will be with AOC as a VP and we have to run the Gambit of disingenuous arguments once again. "How can she be a zionist? She only wanted them to have defensive weapons!"

    I hope she has more respect than to become VP for such a person. She's doing much more good where she is.

    I have no such faith in her. From her zionism, her fighting tooth and nail for Joe Biden until the very end, her affiliations with the democratic party all the way back to her undergraduate degree, her weird presence in Nigeria during the coup, I see her as nothing more than a run-out sheepdog that's now readjusting to just being a regular insider.
