You’re not voting. So you don’t count.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world -4 points 4 months ago

Then why do you care. Wait, you actually think you’re changing Trump supporters minds? GMAFB

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Nope. I’m trying to ensure that the work propagandists do is undermined. Nothing more.

Calling you out seems to work just fine to that effect.

And thanks for pretty much admitting that you and non voters like you- are irrelevant to the upcoming election. That’s all I really needed you to say.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world -2 points 4 months ago

I’m reluctantly voting for Biden. And I don’t need your validation to do so. This heavy-handed approach of forcing people to vote your candidate generally has the opposite effect.

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

Who’s forcing or being forced? You’re not a victim of voting oppression because someone suggest you do the right thing and keep a rapist traitor out of office.

Reluctantly do whatever the fuck you want- or don’t. But anyone here rusts suggesting that we don’t vote against a tyrant is here in bad faith and needs to be called out for what they are.

As I’ve said- if this doesn’t describe you-

THEN I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU.

So how about you take a deep breath and stop white-knighting for people that are using your platform to disrupt an election.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world -2 points 4 months ago

do whatever the fuck you want- or don’t.

is here in bad faith and needs to be called out for what they are.

Which is it? Do whatever you want, or needs to be called out?

Again, the enemy is both strong and weak.

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Do whatever you want- AND take the risk of being called out.

You’re not exempt from criticism for what you decide to do, or not do- but for now, you’re free to do it or not.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world -2 points 4 months ago

So, I can vote however I want. Unless it’s different than what you chose. Then, you get to endlessly berate me. Are you a car salesman?

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Says the person that endlessly berates people for who they are voting for.

We’re done man. You’ve buried yourself deep enough to satisfy my need to call you out.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world -2 points 4 months ago

You: Jumps into the ocean, yelling, “Everybody out, there’s a shark in the water!” 💦

Me: Throws you a life preserver. 🛟

You: “That’s okay, I can’t swim.” 🏊‍♀️

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Why do you feel the need to make up fake dialogue between you and the people you disagree with?

What’s wrong? Is reality not suitable enough to support your bullshit that you need to fabricate conversations?

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Because it is analogous to the inconsistent statements you make.

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago

To anyone that doesn’t have an agenda, there’s nothing at all inconsistent with anything I’ve said. However saying shit like “I am voting for Biden.” And then going so far out of your way to defend those of you that suggest no one vote against Trump…

Well, now that is what I’d call inconsistent. But you people do love to project, so sure. Call me what you deny.

Just making ish up. I have never said that. I have advocated for everyone to vote, or not vote, based on their personal self interests.

Call me what you deny

This. What does this mean? What have I called you? What am I denying? Is this some colloquial cant that eludes me?

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago

Dude… your comment history is public.

[-] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago

Oh ya, Trump is oozing with honey, that's why he has so much support.

No one is "forcing" anyone to vote for Biden. They're just me being coddled when they say Biden is bad so you should let someone significantly worse be in power.

The time to complain about Biden not being good enough is during the primaries, and the 3.5 years between elections. People need to accept reality that this coming election is between Biden and Trump, and no amount of complaining about Biden will change that.

Yes, absolutely complain that Biden isn't doing enough and push him to do more. But this rhetoric of "I'm not going to vote for Biden so that the US can burn to the ground under Trump" is childish.

[-] Xero@infosec.pub -2 points 4 months ago

So anyone that disagrees with your Biden or else position is a propagandist? How about you just accept that I won't give Biden my vote mostly because of Gaza and just move on.

My vote, my choice.

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago

So the fact that you know damn well that Trump will do just as much if not worse- illustrates that you Gaza stance is absolute bullshit.

And the fact that you know damn well by now what will happen to our LGBTQ+ friends and family, and women’s body autonomy if Trump is elected- and clearly don’t give a shit about any of it-

Shows you’re a propagandist. Don’t make this about my words- it’s YOURS that are telling on you.

[-] Xero@infosec.pub 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah okay pal, you keep throwing around propagandist as if you just learned the word and need to use it as much as possible. Right now you're like an exposed nerve so I'm there's no point in me trying to have a dialogue.

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

That’s quite an ironic accusation considering you haven’t seemed to mentioned Gaza at all prior to now. I’m guessing you’re either new to the concept of genocide- or you haven’t been made aware that Palestine was a place that existed before recently?

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Let him cook, @JimSamtanko has the potential to be the new vanguard party leader. /s
