Which is why it’s a shame to see you fight each other as if that isn’t the case.

I would wholeheartedly recommend reading How To Win Friends And Influence People (or at least this summary). Especially if you’re trying to convince people to vote in the midterms.

    those two points are not contradictory at all.

    loyalists vote for the party regardless, but there aren’t enough loyalists to win without a broader turnout. winning requires turnout from people that the party has failed to motivate. that was what happened last election at least.

    but yeah totally, any criticism of democrats is actually secret sabotage or whatever

      Also ML accounts always come out of the woodworks to discourage voter turn out. I wonder why?

        What? I’m talking about the obvious ML bots/ propagandists coming out of nowhere to discourage voting by vehemently making “both sides” arguments. What does my account age, you’re grasping at any straw

        Back to this topic you really want to defend: Places like the latestagecapitalism@lemmy.world by K1nsey6@lemmy.world

        They banned me (as well as delete my reply) for pointing out their obvious “both sides” propaganda meant to discourage voter turnout.

        I suggest checking it out to understand what modern propaganda is like

          you certainly seem like a victim of it.

          i’d ban you from any comm i moderate for being like that too tbh.

          your account age matters cause the one with a fresh account who popped up near an election to act as a propagandist is you

            Badge of honor. Your comments are trash and you’re almost always downvoted. You’ve been doubling down aggressively on your garbage comments a lot over the last week.

            Also, that person joined in June. That isn’t particularly close to an election. You realize people have to join Lemmy at some point during the year, right? Would you have preferred they waited until right after the election to appease your pathetic desires?

              4 months old and complaining about how ‘ML accounts always come out of the woodworks to discourage voter turn out before an election’. what elections are they supposed to have been here for?

              i just wanna review their modlog on whatever their previous account was catgirl-smug

                Am I supposed to feel anything but sorry for an individual who enjoys being the loser in whatever room they walk into?

                4 months old and complaining

                I was here for 2 months before I found out what the deal was with ml and part of that learning process was hearing other people talk about them and their behavior leading up to elections.

                  being downvoted by blue maga cultists rules, it’s adorable that you think the points matter. it just lets me know i pissed off someone that i already dislike.

            Being banned from there is an honor like, btw whoever reads this. Here’s another example of propaganda: projection to muddy the water and not talk about the obvious attempts to discourage voter turnout
