So liberals can see conservative performative politics but not that from your own party?

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

I really should get around to blocking .ml. You people have nothing new to say.

[-] ClassStruggle@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago

You just don't like to hear it. It triggers cognitive dissonance.

Downvotes and silence from Liberals. The usual.

[-] futatorius@lemm.ee 26 points 4 days ago

I'm no liberal. I downvoted you both for being off-topic and whining.

[-] NoSpotOfGround@lemmy.world 65 points 5 days ago

Why are you guys getting so personally triggered by a one-word comment? They said it's performative. Yes, the liberals do it too. Is this a sports game? Are we keeping scores? Is your team winning?

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

When Liberals do it they are met with joy and praise. If anyone makes it a team sport it is not us.

Had folks gleefully quoting Kamala her performative speeches yesterday as an "argument".

That's certainly what your propaganda would like you to think. In reality, most of us are sick of our elected politicians and the political theatre. We don't worship politicians the way people on the right do.

[-] ClassStruggle@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Liberals do worship their politicians to the level where there is NO accountability. They may whine about their actions, but will willingly, and without question, vote for their reelection.

Liberals chided Trump for saying he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and not lose a single voter while voting for Biden after helping slaughter Palestinian children. Liberals overlook Obama denying due process to 75% of those he deported, while screaming that Trump is doing that.

Edit, I guess mods around here are filtering words in posts?

I included the word bi*tch and it auto edits to removed

willingly, and without question, vote for their reelection.

Liberals most definitely worship their politicians in the exact same way the MAGA crowd does.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago

If that were true, Al Franken would still be a sitting Senator. We'd still have Rod Blagojevich, Anthony Weiner, and Bob Menendez.

[-] timmy_dean_sausage@lemmy.world 25 points 4 days ago

How so? Which politicians do leftists worship?

Keep up that performance, boy.

[-] Lightor@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Really? Where are all the signs, the flags, the people getting tattooed. People are calling Trump God, building him statues. If you look at the MAGA cult and say the other side is the same, turn you're detached from reality my guy.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
