I see. So there is supposed to be an authoritarian state in the transitionary period, is what you are saying?

Interesting, I was under the impression the real life forms had just failed; one group got into power and just said “naw” and then stayed in that authoritarian ‘state.’

That doesn’t answer my question unfortunately. In fact kinda muddies the water. Wikipedia says that it strives to be stateless, but how does that contend with the real life versions of communism that most certainly have a state?

Well no to be more accurate, the op was full of shit and couldn’t back it up when asked, thus what they said can be ignored. Like if we were in my lab, I would make you do laps for even bringing it up.

That’s not how it works tho. If you make a claim, the responsibilities of evidence are on the person who made the claim.

Can’t back it up? Then it’s bullshit.

This is day 1 scientific method stuff, bud, it’s not about holding hands, it’s about whether you actually have any repeatable data to backup your claims. If you don’t, you probably shouldn’t be saying it as fact.

I’ve just told you how he can make it worse. He can exact a travel ban when refugees are trying to come in (travel bans are based on country of origin, where you were born) How dense can you be??

short of getting more branches of the US military involved directly

How involved do you actually think we are in this conflict??? This comment makes me think I’ve been talking to teenagers tbh. We have 100 troops in that region and that started about a month ago.

Hahaha yeah, ok. Vibes based analysis is a comment meant to get a rise out of a person while condescendingly dismissing their idea. You can pretend that’s not what you’re saying but anyone with a braincell will interpret it like that.

Sorry. My bad, the sea lioning is actually occuring in this comment I replied to.

for people pointing out that genociding a requisite party of a winning coalition in a swing state is bad electoral strategy is both pathetically sad, and disgusting.

Yet another bad faith strawman. For fucks sake lemmy, you all can’t be this bad at debating, quite amazing.

Genocide is not something that can be sea looked, and if you think

What a stupid thing to say, you can 100% sea lion about anything including genocide (hello? Holocaust deniers, Moron)

And they did answer the question you asked. Perhaps of you weren’t lazy and actually wrote out two sentences, it might not have been overlooked. The voter turnout was about 50% (53%) which was less than national average.

You’re using a strawman here. Man, why are logical fallacies so pervasive here? Never said you don’t need to earn votes. I said that not voting for a candidate in a two party duopoly in a swing state is the same as actually voting for candidate because the race is so close. You’re welcome to try again though.

You have not addressed the points that were asked. All you did was a faux putin-esqe history lesson about the history of the Dems and what they did. I want to know why voting for a Republican is better than voting the the democrat. All you did was basically go on a separate rant about a separate issue.

Please try again and actually answer what is being asked.
