Smugly satisfied pundit face
hexabear folks have been keeping their sad tissue list of kamala for years, they claim.
“we” just haven’t been paying attention to “them”
I don’t wish them ill will, I just think the whole idea of their instance and community is just… is it satire maybe?
is it a big joke I don’t get? I dunno but they’re way worse than lemmy grad. at least lemmy grad has an ethos.
It’s astro-turfed to hell. If you can bend your political opponents views to serve your purpose you have effectively turned a -1 to a +1. They also do your dirty work by sowing infighting and reaping dissatisfaction.
What makes you believe it’s satire? They have a firm pro-Socialist, anti-liberal, anti-sectarian stance, meaning there are Marxists and Anarchists alike, not just Marxist-Leninists like Lemmygrad.
Why would you expect a leftist community to not criticise a liberal politician? There are obvious ideological clashes between the two.
They’re not leftists, they’re fascists who use cry-bullying to lambast anyone who is against gulags.
I know this because I’m a leftist — I want the billionaire class destroyed at the atomic level. But I want these things because I value freedom, not the opposite.
All authoritarians are natural allies, and hexabears are utterly disconnected from reality, frothing at the mouth for violence — against whom? They don’t even fucking know.
These fuckers literally sign off “death to America” on half their posts, possibly unaware that countries don’t even exist (so how would you kill them?) — meaning they’re calling for the deaths of mixed communities of people with variegated opinions who’re already fighting the system as best they can. It doesn’t make any fucking sense.
Its not that they criticise libs, its that they criticism everything and everyone. There is nothing that brings them joy other than being mad on the internet. You ask what they do like and they recoil in terror.

Do you mean the tankie instance hexbear or do you mean the compounding of six bears? 🤔
Their argument is that it’s not about the candidate but the party it represents, the issues are of the party so any lider won’t do.
And if anyblider won’t do, their opinion doesn’t matter in this context so you can like ignore them.
We have told you, our viewing audience, virtually nothing at all about the vice-president for three years, even though we are supposed to be… you know… “the news”.
Now here’s a reality television-style data dump on top of you, out of the blue and with a shrill emotional tone to it, even though we are supposed to be… you know… “the news”.
One can detect the obvious mechanism of political infotainment a little more clearly when they have to stop midway and change the cartridge. Or maybe it’s more like the grind of a sausage factory.
Horse race reporting must be fed
It was bad enough when it was just cable news networks fighting for ratings. Now that engagement-first feeds are involved we have hundreds of billions of dollars dependent on making sure people are as upset “engaged” as possible.
If we just said no campaigning before the second Tuesday in August we’d eliminate a lot wrong with our politics. Suddenly you don’t need to raise billions of dollars to be president because there’s no way to spend it all in that amount of time. The cost to purchase other seats goes down similarly.
Oh yeah! She’s a happy and upbeat person, I remember now. Disgusting.
Isn’t she already the VP with the most tie breaking votes cast in the Senate?
I mean you could just report facts but why not introduce drama?
High on my own drama?
