The fact that this guy posts this on X with a paid-for blue checkmark tells you everything about why Trump won and why he'll keep winning. The left has made almost no effort to win the information space. They just lose and then celebrate when some of the harm falls back on MAGA.

How about his for a change: Win. Try to win. Stop kowtowing to right wing information propaganda spaces that stifle the left like X, Fox News, and Rogan. Fight them like the right fights the left in the information space. True, you won't get to celebrate when your neighbor suffers from Trump, but it'll be because he didn't vote Trump in the first place.

I saw the "Dems are the Uvalde cops Magas are the shooters." And goddamn it salpped ever since. You guys need to get a real 3rd party that is real grassroots socialist.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I've been watching people go on and on about a Socialist revolution since I read about Gene Debs in high school.

I haven't seen them actually do anything yet.

This is a liberal account, he's not a leftist. Leftists have been in the streets, while liberals remain in the tweets.

I don’t believe in intellectual property, so you can’t. It’s yours as much as mine.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

put that on a bumper sticker

[–] MiniMoose4Free@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You expect a "both sides" maga to know that? Seeing all these "it's the dem's fault for not telling us how shit trump would treat us" folks is crazy. Everyone want to blame the dems for the lepords.

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

The democrats ran the same candidate against Trump and lost two out of the three times they tried. Do you happen to know the definition of insanity?

[–] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

There must be dozens of them.

[–] SolidShake@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

everyone in the country should be liberal. but it seems most just ignore the term and definition behind it though and just assume only left/democrats want to have freedom

Thanks, I literally thought it up when I typed “in the streets”.

[–] tiny_iota@endlesstalk.org 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

good lord, its always the dems fault! 'why oh why didn't we run a racist rapist who promises to ban an entire religion! someone who has bankrupted casinos! someone who cant run a charity for cancer kids!? a fraud university!? clearly its the dems fault ! they didn't excite me enough! i demand perfection!'

two different standards and yet americans are still blaming democrats.

its the citizens.

No, it's (1) proximity to massive online psyop campaigns put forth by BRICS (BIGGEST FACTOR) (2) profound loneliness and social isolation and (3) low information/bad internet hygiene

[–] tiny_iota@endlesstalk.org 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

[–] Sektor@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Bricks is Brasil, Russia, India, China and one other. Their goal is to dethrone G7. The other points are sociological and about digital propaganda.

[–] tiny_iota@endlesstalk.org 1 points 2 months ago

Senile genocidaire = almost perfect.

[–] tiny_iota@endlesstalk.org 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

next time we'll get it right and run a senile genocidarie who's also a failed businessman who cheats on his wives.

clearly the winning card.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

But will it be able to beat 50 year old ex guantanamo bay guard crusader wannabe?

[–] tiny_iota@endlesstalk.org 2 points 2 months ago
