Fun fact, Trump ran for the Reform Party nomination, which eventually went to Pat Buchanan, back in 2000.
I was gonna respond directly, but then I saw the lineage of this post.
It is literally a hall of fame battle of people I blocked on kbin.social (you included you boomer boot licking fascist with the audacity to have the immortal Johnny Ramone as your profile pic) vs people I loved on kbin.social (who sometimes get a little tied up in the weeds, but are thorough and actually put effort into processing new information).
Low key crushing on you all... and getting my block button fired up for half yall.
The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
Downvoted for literally an accurate 1984 reference with no other commentary.
It just seemed to fit so perfectly. Bluster is not going to see the Democrats through this election.
Bluster is all they have left, so let's blow the left half of America's mind and have a Bernie/Khanna ticket.
How rad would that be?
Bet it could beat Trump.
After Biden gets kicked for age? I don't think it would fly. We need someone in the goldilocks zone if we're doing this at all.
So... Khanna?
He could work, so could Newsom, Whitmer, Pritzker, and Shapiro. Newsom because of his name recognition from taking a defiant stance against DeSantis and the others because they're governors of key states.
Tell us again how you’re not MAGA? Nearly everything you post is the same repetitive anti-Biden rhetoric. Yet never offering any realistic suggestions to overcome the problem. Nothing but negativity and pointing out flaws.
That essentially the definition of propaganda.
"Everyone to my left must be maga!" - centrists who want to discredit anyone to their left and only their left by lying about them.
Says the guy who magically arrives to defend the MAGA bots any time someone so much as looks at them.
You lied about blocking me, and the only "evidence" you ever have about someone being a "maga bot" is that they don't agree with you.
Did I?
Or did you not read what I said about blocking you? Maybe go back and reread my words. Then come back here and apologize for accusing me of what seems to be your singular purpose here.
You will never be owed an apology by anyone.
Yeah, you said that you would block me temporarily and would unblock me at any time. It was horseshit at the time and we both knew it. You never blocked me. Just like when you lied about ignoring me.
You don't like people pointing out that your baseless accusations have no evidence and no merit. You're just lying about people who disagree with you.
Oh I assure you that I blocked you. But it doesn’t matter because from the standpoint of a known troll, (easily verified by your comment history) you can’t be wrong under any circumstance.
I’ll block you whenever I wish so as to put you in a little corner until I feel I have the patience and/or willingness to deal with someone rewriting my words and shouting them back at me. This is seemingly all you can do. So knowing you can’t argue in good faith- I owe you nothing more or less. I’ve tried reasoning with you. You’re showing that you’re seemingly incapable of it.
You’re a troll. (again, verified by your comment history here) And because of this, I will never engage with you on your terms. So just know that when I get bored of you- I’ll block you again.
And again….
And again…
I stand by my comment history. You do nothing but scream "maga bot" at anyone to your left and only your left. You just want to do so without anyone pointing it out.
Now "block" me again.
K. And you scream gEnoCiDe sUpPorTeR at anyone that even come close to suggesting that Biden isn’t that bad.
And I’ll block you when I think I need to and no sooner.
Glad you've admitted that you lie and call everyone to your left a maga bot.
Genocide supporters pretend genocide isn't happening. Genocide supporters act like genocide isn't a big deal. Genocide supporters consider genocide acceptable. Genocide supporters lose their fucking shit when anyone dares to suggest that Biden should stop sending weapons for Netanyahu to murder Palestinians with. If I see these behaviors, I say what I see.
Sure you will. You've already lied about blocking me once. You've lied about ignoring me as well. You lie about everyone to your left and call them maga bots. You just lie.
And MAGA bots whine when they’re accused of something while simultaneously accusing others of things.
Yes, everyone is a maga bot. Everyone but you and you alone.
Oh no my friend. Everyone is a gEnOciDe dEniEr but you and you alone.
I’ve been playing your own game against you kiddo. And your reactions are priceless. You can’t take what you give.
Considering it… trolling a troll.
I'm not trolling, but you just admitted you are.
We both know you are.
I'm not and you're lying about me, like you lie about anyone who doesn't love genocide like you want them to. When are you gonna pretend to block me?
Do you see the hypocrisy here bud? You’re upset that I’m accusing you of lying, then accusing me of “loving genocide” which is a lie.
Then antagonizing me to block you. And claiming you’re NOT a troll?
You’ll forgive me if I don’t believe you, right?
Read it again. I said you want the people you lie about to love genocide. Though since you've repeatedly lied about ignoring me, lied about blocking me, and lied about people to your left being maga bots, I have reason to doubt when you say you don't love genocide.
I was wondering because generally when you get tired of calling me a trumpist because I don't support genocide, you make a big show of ignoring/blocking me only to demonstrate that it's yet another lie the following day. I'm wondering when you clock out, basically.
I get what you’re trying to do here man, and I’m not falling for it. You’re not going to get me on a defensive to waste my time.
The entire comment chain is there to see that I’m right regarding my accusations of you. And your sad attempts to victimize yourself fall VERY flat When held up against reality, soooloo, I really don’t needled to keep going in circles over this with you. Your comment history and mod logs show you’re a liar and a troll. Mine don’t.
Though I do enjoy watching you try hard. It’s so embarrassing for you.
I love it!
Your accusations that I'm a maga bot? You have no evidence of anyone being a maga bot.
Love your commitment to the bit. Hilarious!
You still have no evidence. If you did, you would have presented it instead of being a self-admitted troll.
Cool story! Loving the dedication. Keep at it!
JimSamtanko.
Reminds me of Clem Fandango.
For the time we have left, when I see your name, I will replay the entire Clem Fandango clip in my head. Because JimSamtanko is just about as useful as Clem Fandango.
You have to know that I have no fucking clue what you’re taking about. But then again, you’re probably used to that as you never seem to either.
Yes I do. Clem Fandango.
