restarting this thread just to say you are misreading, i hope not intentionally, an older post of mine. i do not believe this. see here for clarification: https://lemmy.cafe/comment/8372851

I disabled replies because you said /conversation and I thought it was done. I didn't bait you.

I think we agree on most things. I disagree that pivoting left on Palestine would have net improved voter turnout for Harris. I do agree that the Dems have failed to appeal to undecideds and non-voters. I do agree some people in the Democratic party will be blaming third-party voters, despite them being of little consequence this election. Criticizing Hispanics for voting Trump based on vague notions of "the economy" is fair game, though, along with criticizing white people who thought Biden was still running, etc.

Re: your other post, if your post is so widely misinterpreted that you have to comment a clarification, maybe your communication isn't clear.

You're clearly not dumb, but not everyone who replies is committing a logical fallacy.

Waiting until the last minute to link the post you were referencing (which, to be fair, most people didn’t need me to explain) was a bit confusing, so I’ll admit that felt like bad form. But no hard feelings.

It seems like we’re on the same page about most things, and I agree with all the points you listed.

I’ll also apologize for the immediate defensiveness—people on this site can be really mean, and shove words into my mouth without evidence, and after a while, it starts to get to you. You are one in a million for actually having a source for your opinion on me (which I just wish you had linked earlier 😛).
