    At minimum 4% of USA citizens are complete monsters with hate in their hearts. It’s actually much higher, but for sure we say that 4% are awful people.

      More than that, the percentage of voters who opposed ending segregation was surprising.

      I suppose we could start with ‘the states that literally fought a war and killed their countrymen to keep humans as pets’, though there’s spillover.

                That’s true. But…

                We know there is an extensive campaign by the Russian government to divide the left and attempt to get Trump re-elected. And given the nature of our current electoral system, there are only a few reasons why someone would try to get people not to vote for Harris:

                • They are an honest Trump supporter. Fine. I disagree vehemently, of course, but such is life.
                • They are a true-believing third-party supporter. Very rare, given the low numbers for fringe candidates from third parties. Of course, these people are incredibly naive, because they don’t understand how third parties in a FPTP election system empower their own ideological opposition, but at least they’re honest, too.
                • They are a Trump supporter, but not honest, and for whatever reason, they consider it morally and ethically acceptable to misrepresent themselves and try to get folks on the left playing a game of “let’s you and him fight.”
                • They are a paid actor. I think this is the majority of the supposed leftists posting vehemently and continuously against Harris, while ignoring the grotesque abomination and clear threat to the country that is Trump.

                I mean that. I think the majority of people playing that particular game are paid to. Doesn’t mean they all are, of course, but it’s impossible to ignore the massive uptick in content from them right now, especially from shiny new accounts and from accounts that have been mostly inactive until now. There just aren’t that many third-party true believers or Republicans who want to spend all day, every day, pretending to be abrasive leftists.

                  Me and most of the people in my social circle. Look at the campaigns of socialist Claudia De la Cruz and the crowds of people showing up at her demonstrations. You think most of those people are getting paid?

                  And how do you think people just magically get paid to start posting articles? The reason I am asking is because I get accused of this DAILY. lol

              Not to mention that you want to imply that democrats long for the dissolution of human rights but you know saying it outright is laughably indefensible even by your standards, so you keep quiet on that and toss out your little snarky deflection.

                Your party voted in favor of anti-trans legislation which was bipartisan in sponsors and cosponsors. Written by a Democrat and a Republican. But instead of calling it an anti trans bill it was presented as saving kids, KOSA

                  Notice how you hide behind the fact that it likely was bad legislation just by the name of it and refuse to explain what you are talking about in any way. How is this “anti-trans”? You might be right (doubt it outside of some particular edge cases, but prove me wrong). But you’re begging me to dismiss you by just being condescending about it.
