That’s very funny.

But if youre not trolling and you actually think that I’m trolling on a .world comm it’s probably a good idea to have more than pithy replies.

If you really think I’m trolling when I scroll down through active/all, see something that I’m the subject of and reply then you should be reporting me and not making snarky comments.

Especially when I engage with the things you say directly.

It makes you seem like the person acting in bad faith when you do that. It makes you seem like the unserious troll.

I’ve got to be mistaken though, right?

I’m almost 100% sure that seeing something making fun of you and popping in to say “hey wait a minute!” Isn’t anyone’s definition of trolling.

How did you come to the conclusion that I’m a troll?

I agree with you though that I probably won’t be posting in the political memes community after the elections.

I browse by active/all and aside from the predictable ones blaming a Harris loss on the left I don’t think the community really interests me.

The only reason you see me here now is because in active/all there are a bunch of posts blaming me and people like me for the democrats failings or shaming us or our votes.

Once that goes away I probably will too.

And you’re right that people will probably be happy about it. No one likes to be confronted with the irrefutable fact that they are supporting genocide.

That really bugs me. This whole presidential election cycle has been pretty scary to be honest. I can’t imagine a scenario where Harris wins and her party decides to abandon the deportations, war, protest suppression, border wall and genocide that got them there.

What stops the president from not sending weapons to israel by executive order? What stops the president from conditioning aid or stepping in when congress tries to send weapons to aid a genocide in contravention of domestic and international law?

We know what stops Biden and what would stop Harris: they support the genocide.

Rather than waving your hands and saying “politics”, why not examine why a president in the party opposite the democrats was able to stop israel almost 45 years ago.

The democrats of today seem to be to the right of Reagan in this matter.

It literally doesn’t matter.

There are differences, but for what you’re talking about they don’t matter.

The only thing that should sway you is if you have a person who is willing to help you in person or like over the phone or text or whatever (basically not yelling into the internet void for help) then you should use what they know.

There was some dem candidate for whomst people said “she can win if you vote for her”.

It’s nice to bring out the ol’ throw back lines from time to time.

One batshit promise that a president de la Cruz could make good on is not supplying weapons to israel by executive order, conditioning non military aid on a ceasefire and halting aid approved by congress due to its illegality under international and domestic law using the power of the justice department.

Harris could make good on that too, but Harris is in favor of the genocide so she won’t.

Hi, I’m bloodfart. You may remember me from such posts as:

“I voted for party for socialism and liberation and you can too!”

And:

“They’re running Claudia de la Cruz on a platform of Palestinian statehood and an end to arms shipments to Israel”.

But today I’m here to talk to you about how psl is eligible for enough electoral votes to win a landslide victory.

You see, people working on behalf of one of the two major parties often deploy the argument that a third party can’t win, so you shouldn’t vote for them. Due to the tireless work of politically active, committed anti genocide Americans just like yourself, psl can get 474 electoral votes this November!

So get out there and vote psl! She can win if you vote for her!

Eh, reading about ranked choice from people living in places that have it makes me think it would change the dynamics of our system but not “fix” it.

I’m not against it and I think it would be better than what we have now, but I’m not going to prioritize it over supporting my party of choice especially in the face of genocide.

I think you’d be right about my support for psl if winning was the only thing that mattered. Losing parties still get funding, ballot access, event presence, media coverage and of course public awareness from their ballot turnout though, so there’s good reason to vote for em even without ranked choice.

To your comment about smugly doing nothing: I’m active politically locally to the degree that I genuinely worry about doxing myself here and will probably fuck off in a year or so. It’s really easy to get involved in local politics if you have the time to go to a meeting once or twice a month. Can’t recommend highly enough the process of attending those meetings and having the burrs rounded off your political self in the tumbler of local activity.

You literally just made up a story about who you want me to be and argued against that construction instead of responding to anything I wrote.

Surely you can’t expect people reading this to think im the one acting in bad faith here?

Ranked choice might be cool.

For me it’s not an either/or. I’m a communist and I’m supporting a communist party. I don’t think ranked choice will do enough to reform our elections to give up supporting and advocating for psl.

Tbh I don’t think any voting scheme can do enough to reform our elections and I don’t think reforming our elections would do enough to fix the problems with our country.

You made a bunch of assumptions about me and tried to paint a picture of a person you’d like to argue against last time we spoke too.

If no one’s gonna take my position seriously then why do you care?

If you arent planning on paying attention to what the other person says and youre just gonna fall back on building a strawman to lob ad-hominem attacks against then why are you replying?
