    Eh. It started respectful, but dealing with the same tired “never genocide” canvassing of every single election thread gets old. And the people making those arguments know exactly what they’re doing.

    Do you expect the opposition to fall over themselves to be respectful and accommodating while the other is not playing by the same rules?

    Does that remind you of something the Dems were very heavily criticized for doing in the recent past?

      I expect libs to be respectful and accommodating to the left… And come out swinging against the right… What irritates me is when the libs take the left for granted and continuously move right on issues to try and scrape more shit off Trump’s boots

        I do not respect the self identified “leftists” that do nothing but make demands and then move the goalposts.

        You expect libs to be respectful, yet give no respect yourself.

        Check you privilege. Your single issue voting is throwing minorities and women under the bus.

        I do not respect that.

          Demanding that Dems represent us if they want our vote is not disrespectful… Demanding that the left support you while spitting in their faces is disrespectful

          You voting for the establishment is throwing foreigners under the bus. America first, am I right?

          I had honestly forgotten Linkerbaan existed. But now that you mention it, it’s been quite noticeably less toxic on Lemmy for some time. Linkerbaan’s participation was just complete bad faith. UniversalMonk, too.

          There are plenty of other personalities on here who are more than willing to accuse everyone else of being “genocide-loving centrists.” So the community has lost nothing.

          Did they finally get banned or just quit? I never see them post shit anymore. Absolutely a propagandist and I’m surprised more people didn’t see it months ago

          I’d forgotten about that poster. At some point I realized every post was about Israel or Gaza, commented as much, and was faced with a technical denial. Like, ok there may have been 1% that wasn’t on that topic, but I didn’t stumble across it leafing back through a few pages of the profile.
