Isn't it weird how "genuine leftists" always seem to have unbounded love for a state capitalist nation which produces hundreds of billionaires? Maybe that's what the others are shocked about.

Also the unending apologia for genocide.

Isn't it weird how liberals have unbounded love for a state capitalist nation which produces hundreds of billionares?

Lol what a weird critique to choose

Sorry, which liberals are pretending to be economically left while simping for an openly capitalist nation? I thought you guys hated liberals specifically because they aren't leftists, suddenly they are leftists and hypocrites about capitalism?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

We hate liberals because they claim to share our ideals while they act against them

Because they understand the mathematics of FPTP voting, a differentiation such that they don't make the same choices than you, which you deliberately choose to interpret as acting against your ideals.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They agree with the mathematics, otherwise they'd be out protesting like everyone else already is

"OH noooooo..."

"....Anyway."

What protests? If anyone near me is protesting FPTP I am down to join in.

Thank god those other civil rights protests didn't happen under FPTP, otherwise they'd never have gotten anything done.

What protests am I missing? It is starting to sound like liberals and progressives could show up to every protest you do and you'd still whine about it.

Maybe they are, how would i know, but in their not-so-private corner of the internet they keep congratulating themselves for being able to hold their nose and castigate those of us who continue demanding they take action as trump enablers. They keep jumping to the November 5 decision as if the options have been cast in stone, when Biden still has time to fix this. If you let him ignore the issue and stop raising it, why would he bother when quietly supporting Israel nets him more campaign contributions?

Nobody is calling protesters Trump enablers. Go for it, I hate that bullshit also. But I will continue calling all the bothsidesing third party voters Trump enablers, because they are.

Tu quoque

Tu quoque (/tjuːˈkwoʊkwiː/;[1] Latin for 'you also') is a discussion technique that intends to discredit the opponent's argument by attacking the opponent's own personal behavior and actions as being inconsistent with their argument, so that the opponent is hypocritical. This specious reasoning is a special type of ad hominem attack. The Oxford English Dictionary cites John Cooke's 1614 stage play The Cittie Gallant as the earliest known use of the term in the English language.[1]
