FAQ: Aren’t you afraid this will help Trump?

This is a primary where Democrats are trying to get their voice heard by the man who claims to lead our party. We are well-aware that Trump is not our friend. There is a long time between now and November for Biden to change his policies and earn support from Democratic voters.

      The stance is “I agree and we should ask joe biden to stop funding a genocide” and the imaginary leftist strawman is “ur spreading fascist fud russian bot stop playing their game conservative astroturfing”

      In reality, the actual response you will receive from a leftist is “YES” and depending on their mood you’ll also get an additional several paragraphs of nuanced educated political discussion.

            I haven’t seen that happen. I feel like you’re making that up. I feel like you’re just mad about a meme that hits too close to home.

              You’re accusing me of strawmanning a strawman so you can strawman while they strawman you?
