  • Gee, buddy. Do you really think “American Leftists won’t vote for a Black woman” is a “slight” disagreement? Anybody trying to sow division and discord is an op, whatever politics you profess to hold.

    If you were a leftist, you might not be so blithe about substituting your insane guesses for my lived experience. You think you have a better understanding of my own politics than I do, while you’re telling me that I didn’t vote for Kamala because we are the same race. You’re goofy AF.



  • gestures at American history

    I’m neither sure rhat I’m following you or that you understood the person above you, but American proclivities are well known. If we’re talking about “the left”, I’d be interested in any actual information about whether “the left” did vote for Harris or not, rather than Democrats assuming that anyone critical of them must not have voted.



  • Does it weird anyone else out how “centrists” or “moderates” or whatever they want to call themselves need to bash leftists when nobody was even talking about leftists? It feels like an op.

    Is this “person” I’m replying to living in the same universe as we are? If this feels like valid criticism to anyone, please go touch some grass and talk to your therapist about it.


  • If the shoe fits, wear it. It’s weird that you think my comment “focused” on white people, and also weird that you’re trying to blame all Americans when Republicans are 90% white and the only group that the majority of which ever voted for Republicans.

    Republicans are a white problem. There is no other way to put it. Sorry I’m not sorry if you’re unused to being talked about collectively., but not doing so is burying the lede. Every time you said “people”, it would be more accurate if you said “white people”, but you don’t even understand why you don’t do that.



  • I don’t know much about UK politics, but Murdoch was pushing you right even before us.

    I think about tabloids as “Propaganda that pays for itself”. What better way to sow distrust in science than wild stories about nonsense? Repeat a lie enough times and people start to believe it.

    Tabloids have comparatively high sales because they’re pap aimed at the lowest common denominator. Young people don’t read print papers, so the tabloids make a business of confirming the worst Boomer fears.



  • Where do you get your opinion of Americans? The answer doesn’t’ matter because every media outlet, including social media, is owned by billionaires. Lemmy being the possible exception, but don’t tell me you get the impression that Americans are right wing from here.

    Doesn’t it seem weird how many think pieces about Trump voters there have been in the past decade? I’ve never seen an article about an Anarchist. Not a single article about someone who didn’t vote. Meanwhile, every algorithm takes you to the furthest right content you’ll accept.
