Democrats: "If you don't vote for Kamala you're a Russian."
Let he who hasn't dined at the same table as Putin cast the first stone.
What do you mean that's everyone but Jill?
Hey, Michael Flynn was there, too.
Using your logic, Obama is a Russian agent too.
Edit: TheTechnician said it far better than I did.
Quoting verbatim from a previous comment of mine because it's literally not worth my time to come up with something original to the same exact stupid, worthless argument:
“They’re the same picture.”
Boy, ~~Russian bots~~ Jill Stein stans are really tripping over each other to see who’s the biggest, dumbest idiot, aren’t they?
You mean the same investigation that found no evidence that Jill Stein was working with Russia? Let me guess, in your mind she's so deep and undercover that it is more about a feeling than needing any evidence at all.
"Useful idiot"
Democrat Stans really are tripping all over each other to see who's the biggest, most intolerant facist, aren't they?
Damn, you're so right. I hate faces. They make me so angry grrrrr
Leftists: The Green Parry isn’t a throwaway vote at all! Here’s my 40 paragraph manifesto that explains it all with YouTube links and op-ed opinion pieces to validate the proof!
If you actively go to the polls and while you're there – instead of voting for Kamala Harris, the only viable candidate against Trump's pro-Russia fascism – you choose to vote for a Russia-planted spoiler candidate and you live in a state that's not safe red or safe blue, then yes, you are pro-Putin's regime, and you unequivocally suck ass as a person.
If you go cast your vote at the polls and you're so braindead that you can't fathom another third-party candidate is running without being a Russian agent in disguise, and you're so scared that your candidate that you've convinced yourself is a perfect deity still might lose to a lunatic, then maybe you should re-evaluate why it is that people no longer trust Democrats blindly like you think they should.
The only reason she loses is cause the peasants didn't know what was good for the economy.
And what about the huge group of people who care more about morals than money? Just fuck them? Oh no, I forgot, they are Russians right?
Do you really not see how your intolerance is exactly the same as republicans? You know you can vote democrat and still criticize them too right?
People do not like to be "nitpicked" it makes them feel bad so then they get to lash out and hurt others because they were "hurt" by being asked to correct or better themselves.
And then everyone applauds their bravery for standing up for themselves cause they want to be the bullies too. And it's easy to regard the people being told off as lesser or not people.
Found the Wumao.
Catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror?
"No you."
Compelling argument. /s
Almost as convincing as you calling a US citizen in Washington state a Chinese Government agent. Maybe if you want to be taken seriously in the future, actually provide some facts or say something productive.
What does Washington have anything to do with it. Wumao are everywhere.
I'm guessing you prob hear them whispering in your walls at night.
Projection.
Yes we established that about you already
Projection
Yes I know you are
Are you 12 years old?
No, why are you looking for a 12 year old on here? So gross.
Yeah, time for a block. Have a good one moron.
Finally some peace from ignorance
Quick without google, what is Washington's State bird? /s we know you'll google it.
I didn't call you anything, I just mocked your attempt at a PeeWee Herman defense. Maybe if you want to be taken seriously in the future you should learn how screen names work so you don't embarrass yourself.
How many alt accounts do you have? So someone says that they found the Wumao, eerily similar to comments made about black people by Democrats in the 1940s & 1950s when they were criticized, and you decide to respond when I ask the individual claiming that I'm a Chinese Government actor if they saw their own face in the mirror.
Maybe if you don't want people to find out your alt accounts stop responding from them.
Dear god, why would you think I give enough of a shit about you to have any alt accounts? Maybe see a therapist about the persecution complex and delusions of grandeur.
Yeah, that's how Lemmy works. It says your account is a year old, you should have been able to figure it out by now.
Maybe don't make weak-ass arguments if you're gonna get all butthurt when people call them out.
