Rich.
Tell this community to fuck off with their replies and down votes. I'm the only one speaking reason in a sea of dumbasses and you are trying to ping me for being unreasonable in the face of 20+ messages pinging me.
It's a dog pile. I know these happen on the internet, but how about you recognize a dogpile and instead be a bit less accusatory (You’re getting emotional over something) under these circumstances.
I'm sorry I care about truth here. And your level of technicalities in the face of this is rich given the circumstances.
I'm not even saying Walz did bad or that anything was harmful to Harris. I'm simply pointing out that the Republicans are much happier with this debate than the liberals realize and y'all need to start becoming aware of the underlying problem with the meta-discussion.
If you are just cheering one side without thinking of the greater political story or the place our little discussion hasnin the world of political issues, you will be too ignorant to truly make lasting change.
Part of that is being honest about the performance of politicians on widely watched debates, and understanding the image projected upon your political opposition.
I’m sorry you are getting swarmed like this. Happens to me when I comment in .ml or hexbear so I know the feeling. You’re not being outlandish or anything but I imagine it doesn’t feel great to have all this backlash including from me.
Funny thing is that I have voted for more Republican presidents than Democrat ones. John Kaisich was even at my wedding. In true republican fashion I switched sides when it suited me best - when I had kids and realized they’re gonna be here about longer than me.
Just remember no one has ever changed there political party from Lemmy or Reddit comments. Good luck!
