That's the point of linking comment threads, so you can see the context and read between the lines. One of those threads, their own replies remove any ambiguity of their meanings.

And the reason those linked to the parent is simply how lemmy (vanilla, at least) works when copying a comment link. At least without fuss. And I'm on mobile.

But whatever, there's plenty of context just from the original links I sent. I really don't give a shit if it's not wrapped up nicely enough for you. I quickly provided counter examples from comments older than his without even trying to find them.

Yeah, sure man. If you'd just said "sorry, that's what was copied, I'm on mobile", I wouldn't have shit on you, but you made it out like you were a put upon martyr and it was everyone else's problem that your links weren't to actual examples of the thing you were supposedly proving.

It was a low effort reply to a low effort false claim.

But sure, keep whining about how I'm attacking you somehow, or whining about me playing victim or something.

Hope you find something to break you out of your funk so you can enjoy your weekend.

You're actually the one making the claim that people are telling others not to vote, so the burden of proof falls on you. That the claim was low effort is your fault, along with the lack of evidence for your claim.

You guys are so salty I didn’t need to salt my popcorn while reading this. I can only say that it is impressive what lengths you all go to to prove some super minor shit

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Cognitive decline isn't minor? Like if this was my grandparent, I wouldn't let them drive a vehicle due to concerns about their safety and the safety of others. We're letting him drive a country. Stop gaslighting

The thing is, no one is saying to vote for Trump. No one is saying not to vote at all. Nothing you've linked states that. You're internet arguing against a strawman because it makes you feel good to parrot those classic Dem talking points. But in context, you sound like you're just sea lioning stuff no one is even talking about in the first place. Maybe be less intellectually narcissistic and try actually considering other people's perspectives and what they are actually saying.

Man. You guys really can't read the bold subtext or what?

This is literally the very next reply by the same user from the 2nd link:

Instead of voting for war criminals, how about not?

You don’t fill in a hole by taking a lesser amount of dirt out. Likewise you don’t fix the system by voting for the lesser evil.

They are not being subtle. They do this all the time here. They intentionally avoid specifically saying "don't vote, both sides are bad", but their intent is abundantly obvious.

I'm honestly amazed at how many people here are falling for this crap. They are all over lemmy making the same kind of tongue in cheek "both sides" layups. How the hell aren't you catching on?
