My favorite part about the meltdown in this thread is that the people who are seething over Hillary today are the same exact people who defended her tooth and nail back in 2016 despite her always being the exact same.
Not I. I still remember the days leading to her campaign where she jumped on the "Video games need rating limits, this Grand Theft Auto game proves kids are buying games they sre too young for" train. Then the entire DNC got quiet when the ESRB spoke out and said, "WTF do you think we've been doing? Kids can't unless their parents or stores stop letting them. Proved to me she is just another damn puppet to tow the line and induce fear and false outrage.
How did you know? Do you have the receipts for your claim? It's also possible that these people you're referring to have gained more information that made them change their mind since then. So is it that you think they should've doubled down on their choice back then, instead?
Because this is .world?
That's not an answer. Plenty of people on .world don't support establishment democrats. Both you and the top commenter are .world accounts, after all.
Let's just put it this way: if the genocide runs to completion like the clinton wing of the party wants, .world is where the party's gonna be.
Did you forget what the claim I refuted was? That it was the exact people seething about Clinton now are the same ones defending her unquestionably back then.
Is your assertion that the people who would party if the genocide runs to completion back then are the same ones seething at Hillary now for still supporting the genocide? Because that doesn't make logical sense, does it?
You didn't refute a damned thing, but keep crowing about something you didn't do. It's the centrist way.
As was predicted. “One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.” - Omar El Akkad
You're right, I didn't refute. Wrong word used there. i was asking for receipt, because saying .world is not a receipt. If I accused you of doing the same thing the guy accused these people of, would you accept if the only receipt I used is the fact that you're a .world account?
I never said they didn't do the thing they're being accused of, I just have a better standard of proof than what server they started their Lemmy account in. Turns out you didn't, so I am quite disappointed in you.
But it's not too late. The people who are responsible in your assertion are still alive and still doubling down on the genocide, so by what metric are you measuring the people here who are already acting against genocide before your prediction has come true? It doesn't seem like you thought your logic through.
