If you’d rather let us figure out our own elections, why are you out here building energy for the Trump campaign?

🤔

If me saying what everyone is already predicting is “building energy for the Trump campaign” then you truly are fucked.

And yet you’re still spending your limited time on Earth seemingly doing everything you can to maintain that narrative! Weird!

I don’t know if polls and all analysts and whatnot are what you’d call a narrative. The odds of Democrats winning this are poor. That’s just how it is.

It’s similar to my narrative that betting on a number on roulet, you probably won’t win. I bet some gambler will get mad about me maintaining that narrative too.

Bruh… You have to stop this tactic of accusing people who are legitimately worried about Biden losing of boosting Trump. There are no potential-Trumpers here.

You are attacking the person instead of engaging with their argument. It’s just ad hominem.

Agree to fully disagree.

But I’m also not a bruh. Suh? Idk.

Apologies, I did not intend to misgender.

Bruh as it’s used here in California is not gendered, and it is not something you address someone as, it’s an expression of frustration or disbelief.

You’re right, except for this:

There are no potential-Trumpers here.

Technically, there is no reason to assume that. Pro-[anything] can create an account on any federated instance and participate in all available communities, not necessarily in an obvious way.

For example, some days ago someone created an account on a federated instance, exclusively to respond to a comment of mine from 1 year ago.

This it still the Internet, even if a somewhat calmer part of it.

Right, but you’re talking about someone who is already pro -Trump. I’m talking about people who are undecided, but potentially pro-Trump.

Trolls most definitely infiltrate Left spaces, but undecided (which in practice means uninterested) voters who lean rightwards don’t, and they’re the ones that might be swayed towards Trump by arguments against a given Democrat candidate.
