You're commenting on the very specific set of social, cultural, organizational, and regional elements that have affected this election, and you have no direct knowlege, or comprehensive knowledge of any of it. Yet here you are feeling really strongly about it.

Where did I say anything of the notion "democrats suck for losing".

Also, I'd argue that no one has "comprehensive" knowledge of the elements that affected this election. At least not at this point in time. "Direct" knowledge is IMHO not that important to judge the situation.

I think you underestimate how much US politics is covered around the globe. Just look at this community and remember: there are a lot of non-US citizens on Lemmy.

Wtf, die Tagesschau klammert einfach konsequent die Provokation und Gewalt der Hooligans aus und setzt die armen, armen Völkermordbejubler eiskalt in die Opferrolle.

Not everyone will have the resources to do so. Don't throw these people to the wolves.

In order to help everyone: Start mutual aid networks. Help your siblings and build dual power from the ground up.

When did I say something like that?

Sincethe whole world is dependant on the american empire in some form or another, it's pretty wild to prohibit non-US citizens to have an opinion on the US election.

Moving the goal posts and appeal to majority.

I think I might actually have a chance at high school in the end, huh? /s

You yourself admitted that you claimed bs and edited the comment after I criticized you, but yeah I didn't "support a counterargument." /s 🙄

"Unpopular"? Wasn't everyone stoked when Harris took over? Genuine question.

Lol... ok, Mr./Mrs. "Telling me I'm cherry-picking information and succeptible to confirmation bias (like everyone else is) is literally gaslighting". /s

Now that's what I call a strawman!

Edit: ... wait, actually, it's not. Your "argument" doesn't even parse.

Exhibited in your suggestion that conformation bias is clouding my ability to read.

Sorry, that's not gaslighting. I was suggesting that your confirmation bias makes you cherrypick non-voters among all the people criticizing the Dems. It's simply absurd to claim that only abstainers criticize the Dems. I did not try to manipulate you.

Demonstrated by your argument redirecting the focus to those who are ineligible to vote.

You said that "those who didn't vote shouldn't be allowed to complain". I felt included, since I didn't -ote, but I'm not a US citizen. Refusing to steelman your point does not equal strawmanning.

Ready to try again? Although, you may have a better chance of convincing someone less literate.

I'm trembling, when thinking of your literacy. /s 🙄

Stop telling me how great your farts smell.
