    Isn’t it weird how “genuine leftists” always seem to have unbounded love for a state capitalist nation which produces hundreds of billionaires? Maybe that’s what the others are shocked about.

      Also the unending apologia for genocide.

        Sorry, which liberals are pretending to be economically left while simping for an openly capitalist nation? I thought you guys hated liberals specifically because they aren’t leftists, suddenly they are leftists and hypocrites about capitalism?

            Because they understand the mathematics of FPTP voting, a differentiation such that they don’t make the same choices than you, which you deliberately choose to interpret as acting against your ideals.

              They agree with the mathematics, otherwise they’d be out protesting like everyone else already is

              “OH noooooo…”

              “…Anyway.”

                What protests? If anyone near me is protesting FPTP I am down to join in.

                  Thank god those other civil rights protests didn’t happen under FPTP, otherwise they’d never have gotten anything done.

                    What protests am I missing? It is starting to sound like liberals and progressives could show up to every protest you do and you’d still whine about it.

        Tu quoque

        Tu quoque (/tjuːˈkwoʊkwiː/;[1] Latin for ‘you also’) is a discussion technique that intends to discredit the opponent’s argument by attacking the opponent’s own personal behavior and actions as being inconsistent with their argument, so that the opponent is hypocritical. This specious reasoning is a special type of ad hominem attack. The Oxford English Dictionary cites John Cooke’s 1614 stage play The Cittie Gallant as the earliest known use of the term in the English language.[1]
