Likewise, you cannot in sound faith equivocate people’s general election votes with people’s votes in the Democratic primary.
People are complaining about how others voted in the general election, not about them voting uncommitted in the primary. I, for example, am complaining about people’s general election votes, but I’m also part of that small fraction who voted uncommitted in the Democratic primary. Of course, I’m not bringing race into it - I’m complaining about everyone who didn’t do the most effective thing to prevent Trump’s election.
sounds like this post isn’t about you then :)
No, it’s just a bad-faith strawman.
trust me man it sounds like i have no beef with you or your position. i list some examples of the rhetoric i actually do have qualms with here: https://lemmy.world/comment/13552387
feel free to check those out and understand the difference, otherwise feel free to keep being argumentative and abrasive. i have no investment either way it just sounds like you came on here for a fight rather than to discuss.
I’m not sure where in that thread with PugJesus (which I read before making even my first comment) you show any examples of that. You make statements that you dislike something they and I also dislike, but that’s not the same as examples of the rhetoric.
This post is bad faith because it’s implying that there’s a large backlash against uncommitted primary voters but no backlash against white people who voted for Trump. Both of those are false, so it’s based on two false premises.
those quotes that you and i both dislike are the backlash. those are real quotes i have seen written. my concern is the disproportional count of attacks against an ethnic minority, not that there is “no backlash against white people.” my concern is communicating solidarity and collective consciousness against a common enemy.
your concern appears to be making up things about me to be angry at, so your account is now blocked. i hope you have a really good rest of your week.
My concern is that you’re making up things to be angry at, but keep up that projection mate!
