Following the owner-class talking points and smears. 

It's not hard to tell who falls for the Blue MAGA talking points every four years, with their continuous fear mongerging to sway any dissidence.

I am against the duopoly, and I will proudly support third parties that are for the working class. 

I will proudly support third parties

You could've just stopped there. This is all anybody needs to see to know that nobody should listen to you. In our shitty first past the post system, all this does is pull frustrated people away from the mostly reasonable but imperfect choice. You're either clueless or intentionally attempting to dissuade people from voting for democrats in order to help trump to win. In this system, a third party candidate cannot fucking win. There is no actual "blue maga" for you to whine about. Stop spreading bullshit. I'm glad your username is so stupid that it's easy to see on its face that your account's entire existence is predicated on sowing division or you might actually have a chance at convincing some people. Unfortunately for you, most of the people on lemmy are smarter than the people on reddit. If you actually cared about defending American democracy, you'd shut the fuck up instead of saying this dumbass bullshit that serves only to dismantle what crumbs of democracy we have left, whether your sabotaging words are intentional or not. If you keep posting this braindead shit, then I'll know for sure that you just want more fascism than we already have. So for the love of all that you are at least claiming to hold dear, shut the entire fuck up about this. Yes, capitalism bad, so actually maybe let's not hand the country over to donald fucking trump, famous asshole criminal capitalist.

It seems you want a community built upon self-censorship and echo chambers.

I disagree with your point of view and your talking points. 

We just have a difference in opinion and how we see the world, due to our upbringing and what we read and watch. 

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the matter, even if we do not agree. 

Understood. You just want more fascism than we already have. Thank you for clarifying.

Fascism has already been in the US for a while.

The duopoly is just pushing for more.

more fascism than we already have

I guess you couldn't read it the first two times.

I am pointing out that the duopoly is the reason for this "more fascism than we already have".

And your solution to this is to do and say things that push for the more authoritarian option to win. You're either a liar or a fucking moron, so which is it?

Nice words you share to those that do not align to your way of thinking.

Cool. You are accepting my statement that what you are doing and saying is pushing to help the more authoritarian option to win, and your complaint is that I'm not nice about disagreeing with you. I would happily disagree with a general conservative, but you are posing as a supposed leftist who is arguing in good faith on behalf of workers. But you're not. You're full of shit, you're aware of it, and you're admitting to attempting to bamboozle unsuspecting people, and you're upset that I don't have kind words in calling you out for it. I don't feel the need to be tolerant of the intolerant, and your entire philosophy seems to be all about muddying the waters to help a fascist into power to limit the freedoms of my friends, my family, and people I don't know but care about nonetheless. So kindly fuck right off.

Our world views differ; I do not agree with your assumptions and smearing.

I also go out of my way to check out and read what I do not agree with.

I suggest checking out independent journalists as an addition to owner-class media you consume.

Voting the lesser evil for decades brought upon this "authoritarian" and "fasism" you keep bringing up.

I see myself as working class before I start to divide myself into tribal wars: blue or red, left or right, liberal or conservative, blood or crip.

I also suggest getting yourself off that moral high horse you see yourself on and joining the working class at the bottom.

Another one acting like Trump has been in every election cycle since the start of this country. Such obvious bad faith rhetoric. And Kudos for you for being gullible and being proud of it.

You do know that labels change...

Blue MAGA and MAGA did not just come out of nowhere. 

Obama, Bush, Biden, Clinton, and many more were being called out way before the new labels appeared. 

They are the status quo—more forever wars and socialism for the owner-class—while the working class continues to get crumbs. 

Dude you're not supposed to go full-troll, gotta keep just a hint of sincerity in there or the normies will sniff you out. There's no coming back from that.

full-troll

The others may be doing that, but I do not agree with the status quo or the duopoly.

Why hide what you are for...

"Blue MAGA." What happened to "independent journalism" if you're pretending this idea from the far right exists in reality?
