Right? Do you expect me to click on 90% of articles?

Social media is a filter. I’m using it to figure out what is worth clicking on.

What I find interesting is the seeming need to replace it with something similar. Why?

Oh yeah. Why? Yeah… yeah I could never imagine leaving one toxic social media and then trying to find a similar replacement…

Slightly worse? I can actually sort and the video player actually works, instead of whatever the FUCK was going on with the other place, for literally ever.

You threw the election with this approach. You need to understand that.

This exact approach to rhetoric and myopic view of what is possible just handed the government over to fascism.

This is great! Very cool and it worked when I tried it. Is it foss?

Allowing fucking Donald Trump to win the Presidency

And you know who did that? You know who allowed that?

Democrats allowed that. They did it by blaming third parties before any votes were cast. They did that by blaming Muslim and Arab votes who didn’t want their friends and families to be bombed by US tax payers. They did that by telling voters they “had no other choice” when they clearly, clearly did.

If you are going to own this now obviously broken and defunct rhetoric it seems like you are committed to, then you own this loss.

If you can’t change your approach and recognize the changes that need to be made, you are the primary thing aiding and abetting fascism in this country, because Donald Trump could not have won without Democrats and their apologists online being committed to this now obviously failed strategy.

I just… I could never comprehend twitter (or Mastadon, or bluesky for that matter).

The whole structure of the conversation feel like people shouting into an open auditorium. And everyone is shouting at once.

I just do not see the appeal.

You need to self-examine and understand the wrong headeness of this kind of thinking.

No liberal or progressive will ever win another election if they adopt this mindset.

history. gregstory.

ftfy.

It was actually a guy named Greg who came first.

I just want you to know how much I appreciate you continuously putting on the kind of behavior I’m trying to describe on display. Its going to make an easily accessible record for future generations to develop an understanding both why and how the Democratic party, their voices in media, and their sycophants in forums and on social media sacrificed the project of western Democracy for a self-serving circle jerk to avoid personal accountability for the obvious and inevitable consequences of their actions.

It’s not toxicity to make an observation on forces that drove voters to not vote for harris.

To the first point I made. There is 0 evidence for this what-so-ever. This is just something you are making up to support a narrative. You have not even the suggestion of evidence to back this statement up.

The toxicity is a culture looking for punching bags rather than showing real introspection. Third parties were utterly irrelevant, and most of the “conversation” around them, were deeply toxic Blue-Maggots blaming them in advance for Harris’s yet-to-be-failed election. I mean, its the definition of the thread we’re in. Its what the comic is about.

Its literally absurdist. Everything you’ve said, the comic, the entire cult that you are a part of: its in direct opposition to all of the evidence we have.

And thats why I’m making these points, not because I expect to convince you, but because its important to put your, now obviously detached from reality, toxic approach to rhetoric, on display.

The blaming of third parties, or anti-war voters, or Muslims, or whichever punching down group you want to single out, on behalf of a Democratic party so severely detached from its own base, is the definition of Blue-MAGA behavior, and it lost the Democrats the 2024 election. Its all on tape. We’ve got it on record. Blue MAGA was told what the consequences of their rhetoric would be while they were doing it, so they can’t pretend to be naive to the consequences we all now have to experience because of their stupendous arrogance.

Yes we heard you the first 3 times. Its the voters fault. The Democrats are merely victims, completely maladroit at managing their own fate.

You aren’t making different any new points or clarification, just repeating the same, tired tropes that just handed the US democracy over to fascism. And we get it, you are incapable of expanding your understanding beyond the initial assumptions you made. No need to repeat yourself any longer.

What do you expect when you just keep putting the same performative toxicity on display?

This is all just the same toxic projection that I’ve been pointing out in this thread.

You want to blame third parties but there is basically 0, practically negative evidence for it.

There is a term for the act of only looking for evidence that confirms your bias. If the “strategy” worked, then why isn’t Kamala Harris president?

And if that wasn’t the goal of the strategy, what point is it that you think was being made in the first place?

No, it was just part of a broader culture of infantalism demonstrated by Democratic apologists. There was no there there. Just people desperate for something to blame for their incompetence.
