    Yeah, but when someone is trying to pressure dems into changing, people like you appear and cry that by pressuring them to change they’re basically supporting republicans

      What kind of pressure?

      All the anti-D sentiment I see on Lemmy is from lemmy.ml people saying that Ds are just as bad as Rs (therefore don’t bother voting).

      Which of course convinces people who would vote against Rs to stay home and convinces Ds not to bother appealing to that kind of person because they’ll probably not vote anyway.

        i vote in primaries and municipal/midterm years but whatever you say, officer

        democrats are more likely to call the cops on me than appeal to me in any way.

          I’m glad to hear it, but I clearly wasn’t talking about people like you. That view isn’t shared amongst the legions of people pictured in the OP who screech that voting for a Democrat under any circumstance is the exact same as voting for a Republican.

            that’s cause it’s a caricature constructed for the purpose of engagement baiting

              Absolutely not. I run into people like this on Lemmy all the time - usually from lemmy.ml like yourself.

              I strongly suspect you’re intentionally being obtuse to propagandize, as befitting of your home instance and likely political beliefs.

                it’s literally a caricature though, just because you feel like it applies to everyone you talk to based on instance tribalism doesn’t make it less of a caricature

                you are projecting your own motivations, i’m just a girl in the world

                  Caricature implies exaggeration; as I said, there are plenty of people like this, and 90% of the time they’re @lemmy.ml, like you. I didn’t decide to dislike people from other instances. I keep running into tankies from there saying the same propaganda, and pointed it out here today because it doesn’t surprise me at all that you pretend none of them are like that - you’re simply biased.

                  you are projecting your own motivations, i’m just a girl in the world

                  In true tankie fashion, “I couldn’t possibly be arguing in bad faith, therefore if you point out that I am, it must be that you are arguing in bad faith.”

                    you are so quick to stereotype i can see why you became a cop

                    i’m an anarchist and toxic liberals crying about the instance i’m on does not give me incentive to change, i certainly don’t want to hang out in places dominated by you guys catgirl-sorry
