Had a lib (of course with an Israel flag in their handle) legitimately tell me that Leftists successfully convinced millions not to vote over on Lemmy.world yesterday.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 82 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Damn, if we held so much power the dems should have done more to court our influence! Too bad they love genocide more than they want to win.

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 69 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Literally what I told them, either Leftists didn't make a difference and Harris floundered on her own, or Leftists made a huge difference and Harris intentionally rejected them, failing.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 16 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

I've had that same argument, turns into "well if she did that she'd lose more moderates than she'd gain leftists!!1!"

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Tell em that Biden ran a more progressive campaign and churned out voters, same as Bernie, and voter turnout was far higher.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Not worth it, they're still seething let reality sink in a bit and let them get off "must defend Harris unconditionally" mode

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 1 points 5 days ago

Nah dunk on them while they're angry. Rub salt in the wound, wash it with iodine or clear alcohol and sterilize it.

we sneaky leftists tricked the democrat leadership into tacking to the right wing, thereby making it easy to disillusion and dissolve their bloc.

those smol bean millionaire consultants and party bosses walked right into our trap!

[–] edge@hexbear.net 36 points 6 days ago (1 children)

All for the well known leftist goal of getting a fascist elected.

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 38 points 6 days ago

Haven't you heard of horseshoe theory? :smuglord:

[–] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 77 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Meanwhile we’re over here like, “PSL got over 100k!!!!”

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 70 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 58 points 6 days ago (2 children)

For sure, not trying to downplay it. Just funny how it’s off by an entire order of magnitude from what libs think we’re capable of at the moment.

[–] ComradePupIvy@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 6 days ago

It is worse than that because we had to get those witheld votes done in each individual state, not as a block, so we would have had to have organized state... organizations

[–] TomBombadil@hexbear.net 32 points 6 days ago

Did they??? Fuck in my state there where like a dozen write ins generally one of em mine for PSL. Oh knows what the others were.

That's sweeet

315 in my super conservative county in FL

I need to find these people.

[–] bishbosh@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

Wasn't there that website that fashies were using to track peoples voting records, maybe you could make friends with it 🫠

[–] roux@hexbear.net 44 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The ones that didn't vote are mostly disenfranchised life long Dems and Repubs, I fucking promise.

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 32 points 6 days ago

I 100% agree, that's why the situation is ripe for radicalization.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 38 points 6 days ago (1 children)

We have the power to convince people not to vote, but not to get them to vote for our candidate, apparently.

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 26 points 6 days ago

Enemy is weak yet strong, yada yada yada

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 37 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That shit really makes my blood boil. I work tirelessly at Langley to prevent that exact thing from happening! If a leftist is posting too good then I report them to get injected with cringe takes and nanobots. You think I'm just twiddling my thumbs if someone starts rocking the boat??? Sincerely, fuck you!

I have a bunch of coworkers who love using .world too! They sort of look at me funny because I have to monitor "that website where the pig shits itself." But .world and Langley are literally on the same side so it's extra hurtful when they belittle my job like that. It feels like a betrayal, honestly...

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 35 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That's correct. It was all me. My posts are that powerful.

>Why are you sending me your dumbest liberals?

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 22 points 6 days ago

Very encouraging to hear that there's 16,000,000 marxist leninists in America

[–] Hexboare@hexbear.net 31 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Leftists successfully convinced millions not to vote

and I'll do it again

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 38 points 6 days ago

Real "the enemy is both strong and weak" shit from libs these days i-am-adolf-hitler

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 28 points 6 days ago (1 children)

And if our demands aren't met, we'll fucken do it again

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 24 points 6 days ago
[–] OprahsedCreature@lemmy.ml 27 points 6 days ago (1 children)

How the Israeli flag is not immediately subconsciously synonymous with disinformation for everyone at this point is beyond me.

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 21 points 6 days ago

Hasbara gonna hasbara.

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike 24 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If anything the people making fun of third party votes were probably far more successful at suppressing voter turnout.

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 19 points 6 days ago

I agree to an extent, my position is more that Harris fumbled the ball hard by not promising popular policies like Medicare for All or ending the genocide.

[–] nohaybanda@hexbear.net 20 points 6 days ago

And I’ll do it again, too!

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Heads will roll in Eglin Air Base

[–] 666@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

That day, four 19 year old pole-jockeys (not S.W term) got shifted from information systems to janitorial. For once, they'd have some use.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

the schrodinger leftist who is simultaneously weak and pathetic, but also has the power to swing entire big country elections

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It sometimes surprises even me how much more sense the world makes after reading theory. Like, of course the liberal with a fascist flag in their handle is using fascist rhetoric, "the enemy is both weak and strong." Marx and Lenin are vindicated every fucking day that passes.

[–] 666@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 5 days ago

I agree, comrade.
