I mentioned that I voted, and they naturally asked me who I voted for. I said, “De la Cruz. Third party.”

“Sorry, I didn’t quite catch that?”, one of them said, and the whole group looked at me a bit puzzled — so I reiterated, “De la Cruz, a third-party candidate.”

“…Wait, there’s a *THIRD* party?”

      If you’re going to complain about your liberal bloviating not being received well while wishing death and suffering on everyone else here, then after that smugly and masturbatorially claiming you’re here to “talk facts for at least a short time” at least pick a lane before you’re banned.

      That image didn’t show up and it was surely liberal cringe shit anyway so I don’t want to see it.

        Just a clarification, I’m not at all wishing death and suffering on anyone here. I am predicting it for a lot of them that are in the US, if Trump wins, but it’s not at all what I want. Not wanting people to suffer is precisely why I’m talking with you all. It’s not because it’s fun. This creatively backwards reception so everyone can get busy dunking is precisely the kind of big-brain thinking that leaves you all unwelcome in most places even on Lemmy.

        It seems there is to be no meeting of the minds. I think I’m okay with that.

          Crybully type shit. You’re being dunked on for being horrendously right wing with the unearned smugness of thinking you yourself are “left wing”. “Negotiating” with power the way you ask of us here is simply the privilege of not being the next target, or imagining you aren’t.

          Just a clarification

          You already made it clear that you’re a passive-aggressive coward that loathes people that don’t agree with your copium-loaded dubious “facts” that even as presented make Biden look like the Blue MAGA also-ran he always was.

          that leaves you all unwelcome in most places even on Lemmy

          The bloodthirsty liberal lanyard status quo warriors aren’t inviting Hexbears to the wine cave. What a loss.

          It seems there is to be no meeting of the minds.

          You presented nothing of value and nothing we haven’t seen here many times already.

          I think I’m okay with that.

          Then get the fuck out.

          And we are telling you the death and suffering comes from the Democrats as well. The Dems are just as anti-Communist as the Republicans, that’s the main thing they agree on thurston

          i am wishing death and suffering upon you. I hope your life gets materially worse. I hope you get leprosy. I hope you get stabbed. I hope you get long covid. I hope you hang for your collaborationist ways and I hope the hangman fucks up so it’s painful
