As a courtesy I always approach the offender.
did you just instantly report me for that?@RiaResists @hosford42 @jaredwhite
It was an error. Strong feelings abound tonight. Appreciate the apology and the edit, Ria.

@budududuroiu @geniodiabolico @mastodonmigration
I deeply apologize, silly me
The competent black woman would behave exactly like the narcissistic orange shitgoblin
Of course!
Thank you for your genius
@benroyce @geniodiabolico @mastodonmigration
I don't treat you with the contempt you show me, via facetious retorts.
Anyways, you're also treating foreign policy criticism as primarily a vector for political loyalty signaling rather than engaging with the substance.
Obama droned civilians and expanded the surveillance state. Biden armed the Saudi coalition in Yemen and gave near-unconditional support to Israeli operations that killed tens of thousands of civilians. Trump is doing his version of the same pattern.
Democrats bomb you while explaining why they had to, Republicans bomb you while explaining why you deserved it. Same old

@benroyce @mastodonmigration show me a statement from Kamala on Iran that is different from Trump's and I will eat my words.

I'll be honest, I did, immediately. I don't play around with that. I've had that word screamed at me for an hour straight by ableist neighbors who knew I am autistic, which was traumatic, but I already hated that word long before that happened.
I appreciate that you took the time and personal reflection to edit, however, and I'm happy to talk to the admins and withdraw it if they give me the option. We all make mistakes, and those of us who are worth talking to a second try time learn from those mistakes and do better, as you have just done.

@RiaResists @jaredwhite @mastodonmigration Well, it appears I was blocked. So much for that.

@mastodonmigration How the F does Trump starting a war prove that Harris is the same as Trump????????????
What (if anything) is even the thought process of these people??????
@nazokiyoubinbou @mastodonmigration I unfollowed about 10 people on here earlier today over this exact issue. I need to be more careful about who i choose to follow! It definitely felt coordinated to some degree. I put variations of "shit talking/dooming/blaming Democrats the day trump bombed Iran" in their account notes. I'm keeping track of these troll accounts the best I can. What a weird day/way to try to shift the narrative.
-
@serigala_tropis @nazokiyoubinbou @mastodonmigration it is worse than denial it is psychotic.
@kali @serigala_tropis @mastodonmigration What is? I don't think you hit reply because this doesn't seem to be a reply to a post.
-
@mastodonmigration let's see if they show up here: https://mastodon.social/@mrmasterkeyboard/116150866115100643
@mrmasterkeyboard If you make it too obvious, they won't be as drawn to engage. You gotta make it feel authentic.

@nazokiyoubinbou @serigala_tropis @mastodonmigration the entire non-voter drama.

@CosmicTraveler @mastodonmigration Seriously, there is so much blaming Democrats going on today that I'm just reeling. Literally the Republican regime headed by Trump issued the orders to attack Iran. Not one single Democrat issued that order. Not one single Democrat approved that order.
I'm not saying Democrats are perfect. I'm not saying it's impossible a war could start under one. But the regime started this war, not a Democrat.

This is absurd.
This tactic was used very effectively to sow division and suppress Democratic votes in 2024.
These people are either misguided, and doing grave disservice to those they profess to support, or they are deliberate disinformation operators.
@mastodonmigration Be careful who you allow into your coalition.

Not from our standpoint. Kamala supported fascism and genocide abroad. Trump supports fascism and genocide abroad *and at home*. Support for fascism and genocide is disgusting in any form, but one of these is clearly worse. We can see how awful both choices are and still recognize that one is even more awful.

@nazokiyoubinbou The bloggers at Lawyers Guns & Money came up with "Murc's Law" a couple presidents ago: only Dems have agency, the GOP is just like the weather. If the GOP does something shitty, it must be that Dems failed to stop them or somehow made them do it. A lot of folks on here genuinely believe this. So the fact of Trump doing an illegal war that no one wants and Dems actually cannot stop requires some reframing.

@hosford42 @benroyce @geniodiabolico @mastodonmigration makes sense, I just wish people would recognise that and accept that their true red line is "I don't care as long as the imperial boomerang doesn't return and hit me"
Same thing happened a few days ago, Anthropic released a statement against DoW, Mastodon libs rejoiced Anthropic takes a moral stand against **domestic** mass surveillance, lmao

@mastodonmigration
> militant leftistsThat's supposed to be someone who is very opinionated, or someone who approves of using the military?
@notyourfanboy @mastodonmigration rather than actually face facts about how fucked up their corporatist, war mongering candidates are (remember Bernie won the popular vote but the party chose the corporatist war lobby instead), they see Russian bots, block the sane voices and scream a lot…

Heh, I'm not seeing a peep out of them because I blocked those people ages ago for this exact reason. They never learn anything. -
