this is dumb af
Why?
Because just about every piece "Both Parties Are The Same" rhetoric at play, right now at this point in history, aid and abet Trump's (read Vladimir Putin) plan to destroy democracy.
I wish I was being hyperbolic, but I'm not.

democrat (/republic) party is controlled by banks (/big business)
both can be true. That's why this rhethoric so effective

this is reddit all over again. I am starting to wonder why I ever left
Maybe you missed the part about the collapse of democracy, which would be the crystal fucking clear consequence of Trump becoming president again. Russian-style "democracy" with a heavy handed white christian nationalist bent.

Maybe go back there.
OP asks why
downvoted to 2/17I'm just finding out lemmy is crazy for this. Earlier today a guy got brigaded and later post removed because he suggested that people use the mods to sanitise the forum of any dissenting opinion.
I myself made a comment suggesting that "both-siderism" is really a matter of perspective and people should question their leaders rather than continue to choose the lesser of two evils, remaining in a constant state of fear. I asked why people felt that way to a similar result.
Now you have very reasonably tried your hand at reasonable compromise to a similar result.
How is any of this espousing the virtues of democracy?
Lemmy isn't reddit all over again, it's worse.
Both parties are run by the oligarchy. Where's the lie?
GP's point is not, that it is a lie, but that this argument is used by anti-democrats.
I'm not a Democrat and I'm not a Republican. I'm far left.
Scanning your posts, I see tons of direct shots at Biden, and just about no posts about Trump, with the exception of signs of rising support for Trump among such and such group, how global markets are planning for Trump, and so on.
Absolutely nothing warmer than a backhanded complement for Biden, a net narrative of Trump gaining ground amongst various demos that don't vote Republican.
I'm not a Democrat
I believe this.
and I'm not a Republican.
You might be, or you might be a troll in a factory. The rhetoric overlaps; so whether you're a republican or not is irrelevant.
I'm far left
Of course you are.
return2ozma is almost certainly a Russian agent or bot, or someone that deeply sympathizes with far right/fascist beliefs. He is only pretending to be "far left," and shows zero interest in actually promoting any kind of left-wing policies. In short, he's an outrageous troll, and people need to ignore or block him. Also, he needs to be report everywhere for being a troll.
It's just funny to me that you still think I'm a Russian bot/troll or whatever just because I post articles from NBC News, CNN, MSNBC, etc that are critical of Biden. These are mainstream pro-Dem sources. Blame them for writing the articles if you're mad.
I can assure you I'm not Russian, I live in LA, I'm gay, and I'm far left. But it's easier to just believe "everything I don't like is a Russian troll".
I can assure you I'm not Russian, I live in LA, I'm gay, and I'm far left.
Your assurance isn't worth shit. Your body of work here speaks for itself.
Blame them for writing the articles if you're mad.
But they were aggregated and shared by you.
They also write blistering reports on Donald Trump, regarding the multiple legal cases against him, him parroting Hitler's playbook, and basically trying to incite a civil war or secretarian violence.
Apparently, that's not very important to you. Amplifying "Biden is bad" signals is of the utmost importance to you. Avoiding concrete criticism of Donald Trump at all cost is important to you.
That's essentially the brief for a troll tasked with suppressing the vote to boost the chances of Donald Trump winning.
So ya, you're a troll, and nothing more.
I'm far left
shits on any leftward progression while "ironically" cheering on donnie dump
Theres too many of these. So happy to see em getting called out on it.
I often see people on lemmy deride others for not posting things that would be directed at trump supporters here, on lemmy, which has a total of 0 vocal trump supporters. Tbf, how do you know this OP isn't posting that content where it would actually be seen by those who's jimmies would be rustled by it?
It's entirely possible that this anonymous individual is also on trumpsocial or whatever the fuck it is as another anonymous individual trolling them there where they are, and is posting content that would be subversive here, here. Frankly it'd make more sense, anti trump stuff here is just a circle jerk, we all hate him dude.
You're probably right.
Thankfully, there's nothing of existential importance happening this election cycle.
Let's just let the messaging flow, and see where it takes us.
You mean like every election cycle? That's what they say every time. Getting a little "boy who cried wolf"-y in here.
In this case, crying wolf means nor wanting Donald Trump to become president. The guy who stated clearly that he wants to be dictator (but only for a day apparently, so no worries), stated that some migrants trying to get into the states are not human, wants to exact revenge on his political rivals, and incites violence in his supporters whenever he doesn't get his way (and even when he does get his way).
Oh, yeah I almost forgot to mention that he's a Russian asset, and has already sold state secrets. Colloquially, that's known as treason.
Getting a little "boy who cried wolf"-y in here.
Getting a little dismissive of existential threats to democracy in here.
Here we go again... "you're a Russian bot/Trumper/Republican because you're critical of Biden!"

Gets called out very specifically for shitting on Biden, not shitting on Trump, while simultaneously claiming to be a leftist.
Responds by doing anything but saying a bad word about Trump. Maintains laser focus on criticism of Biden.
Like a leftist.

I'd fire your troll farm. This is seriously low grade.
Well either everyone you interact with is wrong or you're wrong yourself.
Heard of Occam's razor?
Far left of the fucking point, apparently.
Maybe you missed the part about the collapse of democracy, which would be the crystal fucking clear consequence of Trump becoming president again. Russian-style "democracy" with a heavy handed white christian nationalist bent.
Where's the lie?
In the intellectual dishonesty to ignore the existential threat to democracy, as outlined above. It's almost as though you're payed to signal that way.
One wants women to bleed out when they have a corpse in their body, the other doesn't. Simple stuff.
