There are some other things transpiring in American politics right now. But we must note that Democratic leaders are now unabashedly stating what Bernie Sanders supporters said over and over in 2020: the party pushed Joe Biden primarily to stop Bernie.

    Dude

    I have no idea; maybe I made some unfair accusation a while back and you sort of latched onto it and now everything has to be an argument.

    (Actually I remember; I think I accused you of something and you said that’s not me and I said oh shit my bad what is the truth then?, and you went into like a monthlong snit about it instead and refused to answer.)

    The all caps things, people on Lemmy are definitely saying. If that’s not you, then cool, let’s talk. I’m not sure why you would assert that no one is saying that, but sure.

    I am on your side as far as genocide being a bad thing. Probably on some other issues. If you’re convinced that you need to attack me every time you see me, and say that I am lying and love genocide, so as to create a thing you can be pointlessly combative about, I won’t stop you. Have fun with it. I don’t plan to engage with it any further.

      If it’s happening at all, I haven’t seen it. But people who want the left to shut the fuck up sure love imagining they see it everywhere. Just like everyone who doesn’t toe the line must be some combination of Russian/tankie/bot/shill/Chinese/child/Republican/etc. There’s no truth to it and there doesn’t have to be. The goal is just to heap abuse and false accusations leftward until there’s silence.

      I’m not sure why you would assert that no one is saying that, but sure.

      Because no one fucking is. Least of all in sufficient numbers to be representative of the platform as a whole as you indicated. Meanwhile, there’s genocide apologia elsewhere on this very thread.

        Last comment I will make on the topic:

        This is the top thread on my display

        This was the first comment I landed on scrolling randomly around

        If you don’t accept the equivalence between those things and my all caps statements, then sure.

        Best of luck with you on everything

          If you’re seeing your all-caps strawman in that comment, my first reply applies to you.
