I am not wasting my time reading all that. Joe Biden is a rapist who killed the MeToo movement, the democrats are enacting a genocide and people can vote third party. Pretending like you're a "victim" when you vote for genociders is insane. And its fucked up to appropriate language used to describe what happens to women who come forward about sexual assault, to shield yourself from critique for voting for rapist genociders.

Im heading to bed now (yes I am studying abroad, spooooky!) so I'll get you tomorrow, but the foreign prison thing? We've had foreign death prisons for ages - Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib, we could go on. Then there's the long list of CIA blacksites.

"one foreign-policy one-issue" say you dont give a shit about genocide you coward.

but as this last election has proven, voting for them when they can’t win only leads to worse and more genocides

Because the tactic of running an unelectable psycho and yelling at anyone daring to critique her has really been doing wonders.
Funny to bring up Venezuela, you people really have the memory of goldfish. Venezuela has been the target of the US for over a decade now, same goes for Iran. The only thing thats worse (for you) is that you have to pretend to give a shit.

You can just find comments in the modlog. I just found yours. It had a bunch "facts" (opinions), some unsubstantiated claims, some statements that were straight up untrue, and finally it was just a disingenuous reductive statement that failed to engage with the other.
It was also a statement that diminished Democrats involvement in many of the things you take issue with. I assume that was the reasoning for having it removed. That or just it being regular trite unsubstantiated text with the regular trite rhetorical tricks that everyone sees through.

Yeah, just as blue-MAGA won't. Good thing there's a large group of non-voters and a large group of people who vote against the incumbent because they can tell things are shit, they just dont know why.

I'll vote in the primaries if there is a candidate I like. Otherwise I won't. And I wont vote for democrats if I dont like their candidate either. Doing so is a fools' game and exactly what got you trump.

Of course this is just a false dilemma, you can always vote third party.

I did engage, with facts. My comment was removed.

As far as I can see you did not do that to my comment. Did you respond to the wrong comment?

Per the interpretation of rule 4 by the mods, this is a manufactured echo chamber for 2024 non-voters to jack off about how great they are for not voting for a “genocider”.

Call it what you want, but just be aware your favorite comm is as much of an echo chamber. The difference is that the people here exist within the same cultural hegemony you do, so they hear plenty of what you say every day. They, unlike you, are not in an echo chamber, since they hear your bs all the time. You have to seek it out.

I won’t bring in basic facts like “if trump didn’t win the election because we all voted for someone else then we wouldn’t be dealing with 99% of the bullshit we’ve got today”

I think I see the confusion. What youre presenting here is an opinion, not a fact. And it is an unfalsifiable opinion. Looking at policies and the history of the party and the candidate, I cannot agree.

However, you should consider how weak those positions are when people are banned from examining them and poking at the (fairly large and obvious) holes.

So I would again point you towards the previous thing I wrote about people hearing your clichés all the time. Id then add to that with a reassurance nobody is missing on anything if your "poking holes" is just more of you aggressively spewing text about how you think Kamala would be better. I think you would get further in these spaces if you:

1. Engaged with the critique people give your position
2. Differentiate facts from feelings
3. Substantiate your feelings with facts
4. Present your arguments civilly and engage others with an open mind

You know what I’d call a set of unsupported fantasies enforced by authoritarians and banned from basic examination that is detached from the actual results it produces? Religion.

Seems like an odd definition of religion that excluded quite a few spiritualistic practices.

I would again point you towards the thing I said before: Its like that everywhere, you just dont notice it elsewhere because you rarely spout heterodox opinions. You are now in one of the few online spaces where the western cultural hegemony isn't the absolute baseline, and so you find yourself as part of the outgroup. Most users here will have similar stories to tell you of whatever comm you think does it well.
I think you also need to get a better understanding of authoritarian, because calling a modaction "authoritarian" is very funny.

"waaah waaaah you have to hear my clichés about why you have to vote for genociders waaah waaaah"

You could also just formulate what youre saying in a civil manner and not have the issue. Civility is not just about tone, but content and action as well.
If you can't actually engage with the actual critique and facts of the matter, then why would one want to hear what you have to say?

Finally mods applying rules unevenly is something that happens everywhere, stop being pissy because you felt like it happened to you now. When I interact with something on lemmy world and people behave like shit, its me who gets moderated for responding in kind. It sucks, but Im not gonna pretend its something unique to your group.
Now I will say in this instance the rules havent been applied unevenly, youre just a pissbaby.

Called out? Im neither russian, nor a bot.

In reality I just dont like to see people who are ostensibly "liberal" espouse insane jingoistic racism in response to someone disagreeing with them.

What do you think .ml has to do with anything?

Go back to brunch you disingenuous facist

Fucked up to talk about victim blaming in relation to someone critiquing the democrats

Good thing there's other choices, then.
