Your anger is futile.

Aww it’s cute that you think your bullshit is crafty enough to rile me up lol. My use of emphatic language is out of bafflement, not anger.

go look it up.

Nope. Not going to spend the time and effort looking up YOUR claim. YOU provide a source or stfu.

Btw, even IF it bizarrely turns out that the notoriously pro-business and anti-consumer conservatives were the ones who came up with it, that doesn’t change the context and meaning which I’m using it.

That’s not what astroturfing is… you should brush up on the term.

I literally defined the term for you. Unlike you, I’m fully aware of what it means. You’re acting like Vizzini from The Princess Bride with his constant misuse of “inconceivable!”

It seems like you’re going through some stuff

If by that you mean “wasting time and effort trying to talk sense into a Dunning Kruger poster boy”, then yeah. I have bad impulse control that sometimes makes me keep answering when bad faith arguing idiots adress me directly even though I know it’s a bad idea.

In conclusion: you started out with nonsense and if anything just got worse from there. Please leave me alone.

Quotes conservative media

The fuck I did! Conservatives didn’t coin that nickname, progressives did! Progressives pointing out that he was suspiciously helpful to a major campaign donor to the detriment of regular people.

Since when has Joe Biden been marketed as a grassroots candidate?

Since every time they’ve portrayed him as just a regular middle class man of the people friend of union workers, none of which he actually is.

I’m genuinely worried about your critical thinking skills

Right back at you, shitlib. Have the day you deserve.

I still think you’re a conservative, just the kind that wears a Mao t-shirt instead of a Reagan one.

That would make me a tankie. Tankies are super authoritarian and I’m the opposite. That’s one of the things I dislike about Biden, remember?

I tend to occupy a very wide field between European style Social Democrat to Left Libertarian bordering on anarchism, depending on the specific subject.

Always on the “no such thing as inherent authority” end of the axis where Biden’s at the “cops are great” end, though.

Also go look up what astroturfing means

I’m well aware of campaigns disguising themselves as grassroots when in actuality some very rich people are behind it.

Ironically, every campaign of The Senator From MBNA has been more or less astroturfing.

Good point!

hilariously out of your element

Says the one who calls me a

conservative

Dude, can’t you read? I clearly said that Biden’s the lesser evil by far and that the Trump presidency was a catastrophe.

I’m not calling Biden an evil because I think he’s too far left. I’m calling him an evil because he’s way too far right and way too authoritarian. Dude loves cops and the fascist apartheid state Israel, just like Trump does.

No. I was about to refute their misconceptions point by point but decided it wasn’t worth the effort since we’re ostensibly on the same side and nothing I or anyone else can say would convince them.

Same with you, it seems, so unless you actually have something to add, I suggest you take your conclusion jumping elsewhere.

I meant that his ELECTION prospects are worse, in part BECAUSE life in general is better and many have forgotten just how awful it used to be.

It’s much easier to get elected on “we know he’s not the most exciting candidate, but at least he’s better than the one ruining your life right now” than on “we know he’s been underwhelming but at least he hasn’t been catastrophic like the one who used to ruin your life”

You obviously have a lot more faith in the rationality of voters than I do, in spite of the whole gestures at entire world thing.

In stead of pointing out details, I’m just gonna hope that your faith will be rewarded in a little under 11 months and wish you a nice day.

That fucking amazing! 😮🤣 Gotta love Letterkenny 🥰

I was actually quoting Bo Burnham’s equally hilarious Country Song though 😁

He won the popular vote by a smaller percentage of votes cast than Hillary and the Dem candidate winning the sub-45yo vote is pretty much a given. In most elections, it would be by much more.

As for the 65+ group, a lot of fascists and people who don’t consider fascism more of a deal breaker than a (D) behind a name are aging into that group, perhaps as many as are dying off.

And no, I’m not assuming anything. I’m pointing out that there’s a big risk of the pro-democracy candidate losing if he and the rest of the DNC don’t stop thinking that “Not Trump” is enough and start listening to what the public wants.

Nope, some game called “IfSunSets” that I’m not going to try 🤷

I walk and talk like a field hand But the boots I’m wearing cost three grand

Warm night, cold beer, blue jeans, red pick-up

Yes.

Biden BARELY beat him the first time around and conditions are WORSE this time around:

1: The electorate has a ridiculously short memory and aren’t currently suffering from Trump being president.

2: Related to but distinct from 1, Biden’s main strategy of “at least I’m not the other guy” is much less effective for an incumbent than a challenger.

3: Biden is currently alienating a large part of his own base by supporting two seperate genocides (Gaza and Yemen), one of which Democrats actually care about even when there’s a Dem president.

Don’t get me wrong, I REALLY want him to win since he’s by far the lesser evil, but for the above reasons and others, there’s a significant risk of him actually losing if the traitor isn’t disqualified as he should be

Damn you! Now that abominable song is stuck in my head and probably will be for the rest of the day! 🤦

my radical and poorly regulated militia

Talk about fighting fire with fire!

That and being a fool of a Took.
