Everyone with two brain cells. With excludes over half the electorate and causes trump to win. Twice.

I like how this comment appears to be bait for Americans with three braincells

Seems like you have to be pretty fucking stupid in order to run a campaign that has you losing to Trump, and yet the dems have managed to do it twice.
People dont vote for democrats because they suck and voting for them either does nothing or actively makes things worse.

[-] bedwyr@piefed.ca 5 points 1 hour ago

What caused the president to win, was forcing uneectable candidates on the dems and then shouting down all criticism of them, as if pretending they aren't worthless worked.

Get off your high horse, we knew what the republicans were, and what the democrats were, and we trusted the opposition to what is beyond any doubt the Controlled Opposition of the Oligarchy.

Anyone with a brain would've known anointed kamala with no contest was handing the election to the now president. Everyone. Oh, you weren't one? What does that say about your understanding?

No offense but I don't want to wade through your shit again forcing another doomed to fail dem on us.

100% agree.

Also, fuck the GOP.

That one's on the house.

No no, we must support the lesser evil and in doing so forget that they are evil. The genocide in Gaza started on January 20th, 2025, and would've never started if Harris had won.

The far right criticises the Dems as much as the left.

You 100% have to make it clear where the critique comes from.

[-] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 2 points 54 minutes ago

We criticize them for vastly different things though… The right says they’re communists and we say they’re not communist enough (or at all, really).

[-] fonix232@fedia.io 1 points 41 minutes ago

Problem is that not all critique is equal. Someone can just barf in "dems suck" into an online argument, and that won't tell which side of the aisle they're on...

[-] BanMeFromPosting@lemmy.ml 1 points 15 minutes ago

Thats not a critique though, thats an opinion.

[-] BanMeFromPosting@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago

You really don't. Its pretty clear by what the critique is, whether or not it comes from a leftist or a right wing nut. Its only difficult to tell the difference if you lack basic comprehension.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 points 59 minutes ago

Yes, this screenshot is just another “If you don’t understand my unqualified opinion you’re just too stupid to figure it out” hot take by someone thinking they’re the smartest person in the room.

No, criticizing the dems doesn’t automatically mean criticism of anyone to the right of them.

[-] bedwyr@piefed.ca 0 points 1 hour ago

Maybe you do. Anyone with a brain realizes real criticism from fake and manufactured criticism.

If you are too dumb to realize it, or worried about those too dumb to realize it, write your own posts. No offense but you are wrong headed and I don't care how many half wits endorsed your point here.

[-] fonix232@fedia.io 1 points 1 hour ago

Yeeeah, you won't be winning any arguments with an immediate ad hominem. Off to the blocklist fuck ye

[-] BanMeFromPosting@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago

Thats not what an ad hominem is you fucking idiot. You fool, you buffoon. Learn what the concepts you speak of mean, you absolute dolt.
An ad hominem isn't "when you get insulted." An ad hominem is when the quality of your character is tied to the quality of your argument - Something plenty of people do here all the time.
And you're even fucking it more up, because the person isn't even insulting you, unless you count yourself to be someone without a brain! Fucking incredible moronic self-own.

"You suck" is not an ad hominem. "You suck, and therefore your statement sucks" is an ad hominem.
More examples:
"Youre a Russian propagandist and I dont listen to Russian propaganda!" <- Adhummer
"Youre a bot, so I dont have to engage" <- add hummus
"Typical statement from .ml users, youre all saying silly stuff" <- alt host

Calling you brainless is just calling you brainless. It is only when the argument is dismissed directly or indirectly through this personal demeaning that it is a logical fallacy. And it doesn't even have to be an insult! But you're too fucking stupid to see that, you just throw words around that you have picked up thru cultural osmosis without ever learning them. Idiot.

[-] bedwyr@piefed.ca 3 points 1 hour ago

Good riddance. The last thing I want is to argue with some well minded individual that sincerely believes the dem establishment is the way out of our situation.

How many times do you have to be wrong before you admit a mistake. That's rhetorical, I don't care what you think now.

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, anti-communism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.
