Sure, if you say so. And I think my point is pretty evident; I suspect you of not being who you say you are. Maybe I am wrong. The truth is I have no idea.
Where the suspicion comes from is this: If your real goal is to push the Democrats to the left because that’d be a good thing to do, let me know how you’re working on it and I’ll help you, because that mission sounds great. If your mission is to incessantly spread the message that there’s no point in voting this year because of particular flaws that Biden has, or because he’s pretty much the same as the end of the world in human skin, don’t be surprised if people assume that you’re acting in bad faith because the vast majority of people here will see that as a harmful message and activity. Surely that’s not confusing?
I mean, I’ll video call you if you want. I’ll even do it outside on the beach in Long Beach, CA. Biden is Republican-lite so he can’t be pulled left. This is a politics sub. People are free to post any and all political news. Are they not?
Maybe so. Is there a time tonight that’s good for you?
Biden is Republican-lite
Accurate
so he can’t be pulled left
According to some of the people I’ve been talking with, that’s the entire point of doing this; to threaten Biden with the prospect of lost votes unless he pulls to a more humane viewpoint on issues like Gaza. No?
This is a politics sub. People are free to post any and all political news. Are they not?
We’ve been over this. I’ll just quote myself from last time: “Me disagreeing with you is in no way shape or form ‘silencing’ you. That equivalence is another standard propaganda technique … stop using conservative propagandistic strawmen that are so well-known they’re a cliché at this point.”
For someone who’s far left, you sure seem comfortable falling back on conservative talking points that I’ve literally never seen from someone on the left.
(Actually, I would amend that – I would argue that if you’re misrepresenting yourself on purpose to create these posts to engineer a certain result, you shouldn’t be able to post. But I haven’t seen proof of that; I just have my suspicions which are maybe unfounded. And it has nothing to do with the content of the message, more the misrepresentation behind it, if that is what’s happening.)
