Well, you could be sane and be worried about this sort of thing, or you could be OP who has repeatedly said they don’t care what happens if Trump is elected.

Oh good, you do know how to read the modlog! Great job, bud! Just wanted to make sure.

So you do admit that you troll sometimes? And since moderation is imperfect, the implication is that you’ve trolled more often than you’ve been moderated for. I wonder what the ratio is? Maybe you could provide some insight into how much more often? That would probably help the mods calibrate any needed changes for the good of the community. Wow, you and me helping the greater good! Huzzahs all around!

And again, I don’t care if you think I’m a troll. I know I’m not. The mods here know I’m not.

Hmm, are you sure about that? https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModRemoveComment&userId=9454261

I count five comments removed in just the past two days and three of those are specifically for trolling. I think that probably means the mods know you’re trolling. If you’re not willing to acknowledge that, I would suggest that factor into their adjudication of future complaints about your behavior.

Recommend starting off on some of his short story collections and if you like those, there’s a good chance you’ll like at least some of his novels. I’ve been reading most of his stuff for 40 years and have pretty much enjoyed all of his work. His endings can be iffy and he tends to sometimes feel a little tropey, but the writing itself is often enjoyable to read and solid. His book on writing called appropriately “On Writing” is excellent and great for understanding the writing process either as someone who wants to write or as a reader who wants to better be able to think about what they like to read and why.

Luckily, Spanish already has the perfect word: Toxicos. Which just means toxic men. I think I may just sub that in whenever referring to the state :)

This _ might_ be the dumbest take I’ve ever seen. Clearly someone made up their mind to hate Valve and everything they see just confirms their existing biases, reality be dammed.

Maybe if de la Cruz was actually serious, they should actually be campaigning? They have eleven events over the next month (the last month before the election) and eight of them are in California (which is useless to her other than that sweet, sweet fundraising). One event in Oregon, one in Wisconsin, and one in Arizona (where she’s not even on the ballot or registered for write-ins).

Obviously back who you want, but complaining about major party candidates while backing people who can’t even be bothered to put the work into run is a strange decision.

Unfortunately that kind of thing is probably only going to increase as we get closer to Election Day.

Yeah, pretty sure he replied to the wrong comment again 🤣

Oh, there’s definitely blame to go around, but not holding Trump to at least some standard would be compounding the mistakes of the past.

No one can argue someone else out of being a Trump supporter, but I still believe there’s a chance to justifiably mock him enough to maybe change some minds. If more coverage focused on how laughably batshit insane he was instead of “ooh, look, he’s not following convention and he’s breaking the rules” it would help a lot. His lot can’t abide weaknesses and he’s definitely weak.

I mean, it’s important that it keeps getting called out. Too many journalists have been sanitizing his appearances and not making it clear he’s literally off his rocker

As all you can do tonight is whatever weird trolling thing you’re doing, I’m afraid I must go for now.

Hope you bring your A game when I come back later. I know you can do better!

I quite clearly did not say anything close to that as you know. Falling back on more trolling? Now I’m disappointed, bud.

Uh huh. So we’re now going for “pretend to be confused by common American idioms and turns of phrase”? You are being so versatile today! Really proud of you bud!

Quite clearly I don’t as I just posted the actual information as to who is voting for him.

And no, I said “Absolutely screams only the kind of privilege you see in middle class, white, cis, hetero males.” So if that’s your demographic or not, the kind of privilege you give constant voice to is an often associated with that demographic. Or are you once again denying that demographic has historically “othered” everything else? Bold play, if so my friend.

I don’t look at numbers or popularity.

Sure, add those to the list of things you don’t look at. That list is getting pretty long though, isn’t? Does someone need to send you some more paper?

Fingers crossed you don’t get hand cramps friend!

Reported for trolling

What do you mean by privileged? I’m not in the demographic that you tried to portray as privileged.

You do realize that people of all colors vote for Trump, right? Do you think that ONLY white middle class people vote for Trump?! lol

I never said you were in that demographic. Try reading what I wrote again, but slower.

As for Trump supporters, maybe you’re too naive to know this already but we know exactly what demographics they’re most likely in:

Oh, is there a reading comprehension problem on your end? My apologies! What words do you need help with?

Well, to be fair you did manage to get twelve whole subscribers, so that’s probably already exceeding what SWP will receive in votes in your state. Who knows, with their one whole candidate event next month, you may actually be their most effective outreach. Proud of you bud!

Oops! I made the mistake of reading more again and just realized how …sparse mention of Fruit is there. You actually seem to be a much more effective outreach for “vague socialism vibes”. The important thing is that you’re doing the best that you can, friend!
