I think we are on the same boat. But the mod of this community might delete comments because we are getting off topic so I’d rather not write a 5 paragraph response only to have it deleted. Point me to place where we can continue this discussion and I’ll join you. We are in the same boat, I’d say our differences of opinion are merely because we don’t know each other well enough and some minor d...

I'm willing to discuss it anywhere.

Most neurodivergent individuals have much higher levels of intelligence. A side effect of some neurodivergent conditions is to try and make sense of the world through labeling and absolute solutions to complex problems. Particularly social issues we have a very hard time with because they are infinitely complex. In the last 24 hours on Lemmy I’ve been called a Zionist, a misogynist and ablist. ...

It's worth mentioning that I said

I know what you're trying to say here

and that I did not call you an ableist (though it's possible someone else has), I only said it's an ableist way to make your point.

You don't need to get defensive and say it wasn't your intention. If I believed it was your intention, I wouldn't have said I understand the point you're trying to make. I don't think apologizing with phrases like that is a good look, but in the interest of trying to nip things in the bud, I'll preemptively say I didn't feel owed an apology. Also I'll explicitly mention that I am not one of the ones suggesting to not vote for people who don't take a strong stance against genocide (apart from primaries).

I was only trying to say there's a better way to phrase that particular part of your message.

You're okay, I totally get it, a lot of people here are being hyper critical, it is easy to get on the defensive. Especially online where there's no time of voice to go off of.

Polar opposite viewpoints, but at least we’re having civil discussion. Your comment really read to me like you were describing genevas actions. Just to be clear, geneva is the one who, instead of doing literally anything to improve the plight of the Palestinian people, posts about how mediocre the candidates opposing the republican candidate. I don’t think you understand the agenda of the afore...

posts about how mediocre the candidates opposing the republican candidate.

I don't even care for GC, but I post about this because if candidates are mediocre how can they be seen as real opposition? Why is having demands of candidates a bad thing?

Browbeating people critical of democrats might feel cathartic for you but it's just enabling the worst behaviors from candidates. Like for example the number of democrats who decided to go anti trans after winning their primary.

My comments were removed and I was banned (again) for pointing out that Talarico went on to say that Netanyahu doesn't have a right to wage war on civilians, that the violence in Gaza needs to end, that we should support Palestine as much as we can, and we should come to a two-state solution that gives Palestinians self-determinance.

We say the same thing all the time and every few years they act shocked and pretend we’re all Russian bots.

I agree, however, Geneva does the same every election cycle. I first saw them do it with AOC. This is voter discouragement and very well timed too. Never-hillary got us trump in the first place. Aside from that, in the last 24h I’ve established that several of their .ml communities are designed as echo chambers to promote a very radical agenda and that they most likely don’t even care about zio...

Never-hillary got us trump in the first place.

No, Hillary being an unpopular candidate, that ran on terrible policies, after Obama screwing over his voting base is what got us Trump the first time.

...a very radical agenda...

So being against genocide is a "radical agenda"?

...they most likely don’t even care about zionism or the palestinian genocide.

Do you have any evidence of this?

They just want to keep trump in power.

Ah yes, it couldn't possibly be that they want both the pro-genocide parties to lose. It has to be one or the other: Thats The American Way

kingofras this isn't !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works. This is PTB, you keep not following rule 0, at this point it's BPR.
!manufacturingconsent@lemmy.ml is a /c/ to discuss haw people manufacture consent, positive or negative. It's about discovering how we are not immune to propaganda, and how many easily fall for it.

make a !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world 🧵 if you're serious about discussing a Texan election. This instance is anti electoralism, because we comprehend demagoguery. Americans, more than 80%, don't.
