    I’ll remember to screenshot it next time I notice you downvote a bunch of tankiejerk posts at once, then.

    Please do.

    If you’re going to cite your own profile as evidence for or against something, having that profile be visibly evident of it is preferred.

    So should I have made it even? Every time I call out my rep failing at their job of representing me/my state I should go to .ml and say “Stalin is dead, lol”? It’d be funny but not a good way of calling out their simping for Stalin/Deng/Kim Jung Un. I value what’s left of my sanity by not going into Hexbear/Lemmygrad, espeically since Lemmygrad is deferated. I have to go out of my way to dunk on them.

    It helps that liberals are the only thing really able to fight Trump at the federal and local level. I’ve been told criticism is vaild. Here I am doing that.

      No, if you’re going to make a citation, make the citation relevant. In other words, just saying “Check my profile” doesn’t work if checking your profile leads to the past several weeks of you bitching about liberals.

      But you aren’t offering ‘criticism’ of liberals here, you’re here poo-pooing electoralism and harm reduction as a whole and, bizarrely, downvoting people for questioning the veracity of a Lenin quote (a quote which turned out to be unsubstantiated, by the way).

      Fuck, your response that kicked off this comment chain was in response to my comment about working with liberals, and despite your every other comment in this thread being scorn for working with liberals for being insufficiently pure, you regarded it as a ‘strawman’.

      EDIT: And, in the true spirit of criticizing someone for ‘being unable to take criticism’ by the horrid act of downvoting, it would seem you couldn’t resist, yet again.

      Projection all the way down.
