Leftist Logician (she/her)

Gotta love living in a world where this needs to be a thing.

Greens are supposed to stop it!

...despite having basically zero downticket presence, anemic fundraising, no apparatus, openly stating Democrats are the only people they care about opposing, and only getting 1% in presidential elections.

Or insert the DSA or Working Party for the same deal.

This is psychotic behavior by Sheehy. My goodness

The perfect job for me would be if "Good Guy Consigliere" was actually a real thing.

People ask me if some new policy, stance, rule, law, whatever, is going to have unintended externalities or other negative consequences, and I figure that answer out for them.

As my brain just naturally does this.

Seems I once again ended up being prescient about something, heh.

Republicans: Destroying another country, murdering civilians, and destroying the global economy, while the other country is also murdering civilians and destroying the economy.

Me: Stuck being irritated about far leftists because they're still spending all their time complaining about Democrats.

Much like "Covid vacccine gives you 5G", this is one of those things where it feels like many people would see this as a positive thing if it was real so it being a complaint is weird.

(Like, yes, triple G is way too much enhancement, but plenty of women pay thousands for a cup size or two...)

Yeah, frustrating & causes liberals to see all "leftists" as the same when a lot of us are happy to support & work within the party.

It's not difficult to:
- Be factually correct
- Understand not everyone has to agree on everything
- Realize most libs & leftists agree on more than disagree

And yet all I hear is how I'm allegedly a right-wing centrist, solely because I don't pathologically hate Democrats nor operate according to Murc's Law.

Like, those are the two things far leftists have a go at me about, is being honest about Dems and viewing Repubs as the problem. It's bizarro.

Yeah, like, I am a progressive.

I am not "abolish capitalism" nor "abolish Israel" levels of leftist, but I agree with the majority of what far leftists CLAIM to support outside of that.

I just also want to actually achieve all that, which means working within how reality actually works.

Sen. Mike Lee is using this AI-generated image (the filename is literally "CHATGPT_Image") in a fundraising email about his bill to require proof of citizenship to vote.

It's supposed to be scary, but it makes it look like Obama and Schumer are the villains from a new "Command and Conquer" game.

What's sad/annoying with the Texas deal is that Talarico is *also* a progressive, but they still hate him anyway because he's a *checks notes* white Christian man.

Like, did I want Crockett to win? Of course. Am I sad Talarico won? No, because he's still a progressive so it's still a win!

And notice how 9 times out of 10 the people they want to give their vote to instead are specifically, wait for it, people who attack Democrats 24/7 as their brand.

I think Crockett is the literal only far leftist fave that stays laser focused on Republicans (which is why she's also a fave of mine).

Oh right, and just remember that far leftists always crybully that Democrats don't make any effort to persuade them or earn their votes.

Yeah, phew, why don't Dems try to get the people who are literally unpleasable and lie about everything? Must be because they just haet progressiv. Totes.

And as I've seen people start to note more and more often, at this point far leftists are more clinically insane than MAGA.

As we've been increasingly able to get MAGA to accept they've been factually and morally wrong, but far leftists are still in Pro-Fascism Cult Brain Land.

At this point talking with far leftists isn't even about logical vs illogical.

It's about people who are well aware they've been successfully proven wrong and debunked into the ground but cling with clinically insane religious fervor to their factually wrong beliefs anyway.

The reason I get frustrated so much is convos with far leftists invariably degenerate into their just lying and refusing to be factually corrected.

It's literal mentally diseased behavior.

As even a sane but evil person trying to deceive accepts the L when their target clearly is never buying it.

And it's like, what goes wrong with a person's life/brain that this specific malfunction becomes their core personality?

That they just never question, "Why do I hold a worldview where I must make up fake reasons to hate the best party for what I claim to want and I must lie about everything?"

I give up, why the hell do far leftists:

1. Have Democrat Derangement Syndrome

2. Lie about everything

Every convo is leftists making up reasons to attack Democrats that are trivially easily debunked just by stating provable facts, and then lying out their ass to dodge admitting they're wrong.

Can somebody make a social media platform where you're only allowed to join if you prove you don't have Democrat Derangement Syndrome?

Or at least somewhere you have to prove you can adhere to old USENET rules of good debate practices, basic reading comprehension, and avoiding logical fallacies?

And blocked, so seems I called it correctly they were suspicious.

And blocked, so hit dogs holler it seems.

Yeah, I get triggered by stupid people and dishonest people.

And 100% of far leftists end up being stupid and/or dishonest. So.

Weird how you far leftists are always literally incapable of finding any way to criticize Dems that doesn't require resorting to willful ignorance and dishonesty.

And spare me the fake crybullying that I gave valid criticism to the other person's intentionally stupid and shitty jackass behavior.

You seem like the biggest Asshole Apologist I've met today.

Yes, because that's who the Democrats were blocking, moron, so they made the rule change to address what Dems were doing, moron.

Your argument falls flat instantly once you learn how to tell the truth about context and details. Weird far leftists are so incapable of doing that.

Like, Some Twit here brought up the same special pleading, and then tried to make up all these fake reasons why Republicans changing the rules somehow magically didn't matter.

Now here you are with the same easily debunked talking point.

Really fake and suspicious.

Like are far leftist all fake accounts? It gets so red flag suspicious that you all have the same easily debunked talking points where you somehow all magically live under a rock and so magically missed all recent news on things that happened that debunk your suspiciously coordinated talking points.

You mean the Tuberville who did what Republicans changed the rules to get around when Democrats did it?

Yes, because Democrats didn't change the rules the way Republicans did.

Tillis is, essentially, threatening to be the Republicans' Manchin. It's just that since Repubs are evil, this works out as a good thing in this case.

Democrats can't do that, because they're not the damn majority.

And it's bugnuts wackjob that the far leftists in this thread couldn't grasp that.
