yeah I know their picks in the primaries lost here. Not even sure they fund both sides given how one side is very unlikely to win in or near the city.

As if they haven't been funding both sides. Whichever side wins, they get to claim they helped.

To the DNC: if your candidate does not campaign on divesting from Israel, THEY WILL NOT GET MY VOTE. Period. I don't care if it's Newsom vs Trump, I will fucking write someone in.

Support in this context can also mean via donation. Which multiple blatantly anti-zionist now-elected officials have received, through no choice when taken via online portals.

Yep, getting them into office is only the first step

End war. Period. Protest and when they don't listen, strike.

It hurts the average American when they hear sentiments that dont agree. The fairness doctrine wasnt stripped away for nothing!

It's their single minded binary thinking that everything they disagree with is a Russian bot. OP is just butthurt because they can't read rules and got banned as a result

TiL that Texas is a foreign country.

You do live in fascist america, and you support that fascism. So the comment is true.

That's a .world user though... ?

The main late stage capitalism sublemmy is on .world, it even says that at the top.

"GodlessCommie" is a .world user.

As much of a jackass as that guy is, a lot of people who aren't from the US weigh in on US politics and I think that's fair enough. Unfortunately, US elections have a massively outsized impact on people all over the world compared to any other countries elections, and the people that will be affected deserve to have their voices heard. Of course, it's also important for a person to be honest about not being from the US.

that makes sense, since if they tried it on those platforms, funny enough thier anti-spam, bot filters would ban them pretty fast. since they dont like you spamming as soon as a account is created.

they likely seek out any platform that has these discussion boards, and try to astroturf or bot them.

You think so? I thought they were harmless, guess not.

They always come out of the woodwork near elections. Mock and move on.

Ah okay cool, I misunderstood the substance of your comment. I suspect godlesscommie is simply not great at effective communication in those regards, but I do also suspect they enjoy the drama (and I assume that's why they're on .world). Admittedly, I enjoy it myself- I find those threads to be highly entertaining

On this we completely agree.

My comment was regarding a person who behaves like a COINTELPRO asset. The person in question is divisive, argues in bad faith, resorts to logical fallacies, and actively works against winning people over to progressive and social causes.

Would you care to address the substance of my comment?

Its (not) nice to see that name again. I blocked the Lemmy.ML instance but it is good to point out new users that instances such as this one are sophisticated propaganda meant to discourage voting, disingenuous arguments of both sides being the same. You'll notice they never blame the right wing (who is currently in power). The point being, they don't want right wing candidates losing ANY election.

They'll grasp at straws or post some obscure "news" sites with obvious bias if you browse around the sites they post and if all else fails they will suggest you vote third party. As if that ever works and wouldn't split the vote. Need I remind everyone rfk jr was running third party but they realized he would only split the vote from trump.

Literally every modern president has advanced the march of fascism. Voting for establishment Dems advances fascism

Because of the implication?

Don't get me wrong, there are still plenty of useful idiots as well, but part of the training is how to inject talking points and herd people towards them. You can watch this play out in most right wing spaces on the internet - relative silence on the news cycle for 12 hours or so after some controversial story drops, and then the prolific posters all start organizing around a specific narrative at the same time, with the useful idiots falling in line soon after. In that intermediate time, discussing the story in those spaces will get you banned, even if you are kind of orbiting the same narrative which will eventually become canon, because they always want to be herding people into a single voice.

If they’re not, they’re doing the work for free.

A number of the .ml usual suspects are training accounts for social media information warfare, I'm convinced. They probably do have a single handler, but I suspect trainees are also given control of the account to practice master debation before they are moved over to reddit and Facebook for assignment. They really aren't even subtle about it.

I'm glad that calls out GodlessCommie's behavior as counter to the cause. Their argumentation is... legendarily bad. If one were trying to use an internet forum advance the march of fascism from within the Left, it would look like GodlessCommie's actions.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck... good thing we didn't step in it. :D

Edit: clarify my sentiments in the first sentence
