        are you sure you were fully supporting the democrats a year ago?

        are you sure?

        If you let a blue dog lead you off the cliff, it’s not the dogs fault: it’s yours

        i can see why you’re attracted to socialism, it is just an artistic fantasy

          I mean you just keep trying to project narratives onto what I’m actually saying instead of addressing what I’m actually saying.

          If this is how you approach people trying to convince them to vote Democrat, not even having the comprehension to actually listen to them, then it should be obvious to you how you cost the Democrats this election.

              Edit: Here, let me help you understand yourself; the definition of what you are doing:

              Psychological Projection:

              Projection acts as a psychological safeguard, helping individuals deal with thoughts or feelings that they find difficult to accept. Several underlying reasons explain why people project:

              Ego Protection: When faced with uncomfortable emotions or impulses, projection helps shield the ego from perceived threats.

              Avoiding Responsibility: Projection enables individuals to sidestep accountability for their actions or feelings by attributing them to others.

              Coping with Anxiety: Internal conflicts can be overwhelming. Projection externalizes these conflicts, reducing internal stress.

              Reinforcing Worldviews: People often project to validate their beliefs or assumptions about others, even when these assumptions are inaccurate.

              Understanding these motivations can provide insight into why projection occurs and how it manifests in daily life.

                  You damaged the ability of Democrats to win the election by preventing us from moving them to an electable position. You project onto people who were genuinely trying to help Democrats not lose, because they wanted Democrats to move away positions which were unelectable (pro-billionaire, campaigning with Cheney, pro-genocide, etc…), this idea that by asking/ demanding Democrats do better, that they were the ones doing the damage, when in-fact, by attacking them, it was you doing the damage. I know deep inside you, you know this.

                  In the future, just keep all your political opinions and strategies to yourself, so that we can actually get Democrats to win elections. If you keep demanding that your approach to electoralism be elevated and centered; the strategy of silencing criticisms and carrying water for bad policy; the strategy of marginalizing voices in a big tent party: if you keep demanding this, the Democrats will never win another election again.

                  Because the fact of the matter is: you are a loser.

                  As in, your strategy, your approach to electoralism was precisely what was elevated, centered, and focused on by Democratic strategists this election: and its a losing strategy. It lost the election. We’ve received the wages of your approach: Trump.

                  So in the future, just stfu and get carried by your political betters.

                    i didn’t stop you from doing anything unfortunately

                    i tried to support the democrats because i saw the danger of trump

                    you just cared about taking away votes from the democrats by blaming them for gaza, and ridiculously calling them a billionaire republican party

                    because you’re a fundamentalist that hates the US and democracy and loves terrorists

                    as you said, stop projecting and take responsibility
