No I said what I meant and mean what I say.
Progressives are always saying that democrats and republicans are making it so they can’t vote or run progressive candidates in primary when really all progressives want to do it whine in leftist dominated online spaces and not put in any work.
This has got to be the biggest load of crap I've seen in quite a long time. Liberals are always the ones whining about how everyone needs to fall in line behind their god awful candidates and ideas and blaming everyone else when it blows up in their face. This garbage might be believable to someone who doesn't pay attention to politics, but not to the rest of us. For the past decade, progressives have been blamed non-stop over liberals losing their seats in government. I've seen you on numerous occasions whining that its our fault Trump and the Republicans control every branch of government after the '24 election. Whining that we should fall in line. Whining that Joe Biden couldn't accomplish a god damned thing because of Republican opposition. Whining that we need to "vote blue no matter who." So you can take your blatant disinformation and stick it where it belongs.
Show me one comment of mine that says either of these two things or admit to lying.

Need I go on? Are you going to continue to deflect from the argument and move goal posts rather than responding to anything relevant to the discussion?
For the first comment it was made seven months ago when Trump was president so it doesn’t fit either of these two lies you stated.
For the second comment it was about DOGE when Trump was president so it doesn’t fit either of these two lies you stated.
Third and fourth was about making the better of the two choice, Clinton vs Trump or Biden vs Trump when progressives didn’t have anyone with a chance so not blue no matter who.
I stand my my fifth comment but it also isn’t anything to do with complaining about Biden not accomplishing anything (because I think he got a lot done there are gullible people who fell for right-wing propaganda and believe otherwise) and not about ‘vote blue no matter who’ because that’s not in my beliefs.
So nice deep dive into my comments to find jack shit.
Describing the substance of your own post history as "jack shit" is the first honest thing you've said today. Congrats on turning over a new leaf!
Do you think this comment from seven months ago when Trump was president was ‘Whining that Joe Biden couldn't accomplish a god damned thing because of Republican opposition’ or ‘Whining that we need to "vote blue no matter who."’?
Aren't these your words from just a few comments ago?
And your words from apparently 7 months ago
You're right. Someone whining like that does seem fucking pathetic.
You didn’t answer the question.
It was an easy question to answer too.
You mean your leading question loaded with qualifiers after moving the goal posts so many times? I instead chose to stay on the topic that started this discussion by quoting your initial post and comparing it to your previous post where you're engaging in the very behavior you're trying to convict others of?
Imagine that...

The first example you gave was clearly not either of those.
The second example you gave was:
Do you think this comment from six months ago when Trump was president (he created DOGE, remember) was:
A) ‘Whining that Joe Biden couldn't accomplish a god damned thing because of Republican opposition’
B) ‘Whining that we need to "vote blue no matter who’
C) Neither so why was it included as an example?
Hilarious that you clearly lied while trying to say I lied and lied about the examples.
I’ll be saving this conversation for the future.
That's certainly a collection of words strung together. Nice job, bud!
That doesn't surprise me in the least. I know you'll also leave out all the parts where you've loaded your comments with qualifying statements while completely ignoring the broader topic in order to feel like you've 'won' by focusing on a very narrow and inconsequential aspect of my argument. Some might call that "fucking pathetic," but not me. I salute your bravery!
Care to reply to this comment that you ignored where I bring up all my responses to your ‘points’ there?
