Well I just think it's really ableist of you to continue this discrimination against left handed people. I'm a righty myself, but I stand in solidarity with my sinister siblings
Err, actually it’s not hard to understand when posters here are saying the identical thing for real, when the written word does rarely indicate sarcasm, and responders don’t, understandably, do deep research on every member to understand if they are serious or just boring trolls making lame jokes.
That’s one take, and a very ungenerous and mean spirited one. I seek to be understood and don’t bitch when someone doesn’t get my humour or misses a point. If your posts are consistently being misunderstood by half of your responders and you do nothing to change, then you are trolling. 1/
2/ I find these types of posts as generally being lazy, trollish, indicative of bad faith, and at bottom cheap attempts to appear better and more knowing than the poor sods who don’t spend their lives here doing deep dives on every member whose posts are unable to be understood at face value.
I dunno, I think a good psychotic break might just be a nice break from the hell we are going through, I myself am giving serious consideration to going crazy
This is Dems 25+ year obsession with moderates, to the point many are now Diet Republicans, blowing up in their face. Ya’ll became reliant on the idea that leftists *owe* you, while telling us to fuck off, then constantly blaming us. Ya’ll lost the left almost 10 years ago and you’re still doing it.
That’s on ya’ll. You really think there are millions of actual anarchists and socialists out there that could’ve saved you from yourselves? You can’t spend 2+ decades screwing up and not face consequences. Moderates fucked you and now you’re left looking for a scapegoat, and once again, it’s us.
Well, the far left. Them thinking this was the time to show you really want something but end up getting it up the ass because it wasn't the right time.
Which left ? Left of being right as in correct in target of the villainous and treacherous behavior of Trumpalskin and Muckrat? Yup that’s us the decent Americans. I’ll be left as much as I can for decency and being normal.
I mean it’s not one single thing but you’re right that a lot of people on “the left” deserve blame especially if they 1) didn’t vote Harris and/or 2) shit all over her the whole time. Withholding your support for the closest candidate in a two party system is fucking shortsighted and stupid
Stop using the word "Left". There is no Left in America. It was strangled to death long before most of us were born. What we have today is Moderate Right and Nutball Right.
Sorry, I never meant to destroy the economy with my bleeding heart liberal ideologies. Can you just help me fix this and make a better U.S.A. for everyone and the world. Thanks!
They did the best they could, voting for Kamala even though she was imperfect and not as progressive as we all would have liked. We should all put aside our differences and work together. Except for the non voting purity test dorks who didn't and won't the next time either. Fuck em.
I’ve been thinking we should just start ignoring the Vampires (see Mark Fisher’s essay). They are not really left anyway. Let’s rebuild our coalition looking to the majority of people advocating for real American values as outlined in the Constitution’s Preamble.
Actually, it's the billionaires. They bought the government. You'd think they'd run it better, but short term profits are more desirable than long term government stability.
Why? I did vote for her and it was the "better" choice. Why does everyone also have to like the candidate and act like they're good, honorable, virtuous people?
The order of from most responsible to least is as follows:
1. The GOP
2. The Media
3. Putin
4. Useful Idiots Who Advocated Against Voting Harris
5. Third-Party Voters
6. Swing Voters
7. Non-Voters
8. The Harris Campaign
Maybe listen to marginalized people and their lifelong experience with being stomped on by the system yet still understand the importance of harm reduction.
Instead of acting like some trust fund baby of privilege who just woke up from a nap expecting overnight solutions to 80 year conflicts.
I voted Harris but I’ve never liked the idea that her campaign isn’t responsible for her loss. It seems misogynistic to think that an adult woman doesn’t have the agency to be responsible for her own campaign. 🤷🏻♂️
Did you work on the Harris campaign? Because running "I am going to do nothing different to this unpopular president and here's my good friend Liz Cheney" was a demonstrably terrible strategy
Harris did 4 events with Liz Cheney across the entirety of the campaign and the states where she did so had a 3% swing towards her in comparison to the rest of the nation.
Good thing that no one else could see those events, people who would not appreciate the strategy. Must have led to a resounding victory. Also can't help but notice you didn't argue against the slogan "I will do nothing different to this very unpopular president"
I think now, in the year 2025, using "Genocide Joe" at all shows you aren't serious. He gets that title by people who see no difference between him and Trump, and we're seeing now there definitely are differences. But calling Dems out for Gaza, and not calling Trump out *at all* is how we're here.
I don’t believe in election conspiracies in 2024. Trump was coping when he did it in 2020, and we shouldn’t choose to deny American voters can be and were dumb.
Trump obviously won, they couldn't possibly hide a conspiracy that would swing an election, we'd have clear proof by now. But also there was definitely election fuckery and plans to try and steal the election if he hadn't won outright.
Trump didn't obviously win but clearly you're not up to date on all the analysis that's been done some of which was sent to Harris & she chose not to act on it. I suspect that they didn't want to duplicate what Trump did & didn't pursue for the greater good, not anticipating the s*** storm.
MAGAts still dont get it. Most of them dont have a 401(k) but are going to start bitching real soon when their auto insurance and payment skyrockets. They complain about grocery prices and gas🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
A Republican friend who voted for Kasich and Haley in primaries thinks we have Trump because of trans kids playing on girls' teams. Sounded like blaming Dems to me.
I know what sarcasm is, but these days there is no margin between crazy things said for humorous effect, and crazy things said in all seriousness.
Anyone who doesn’t want their satirical humor to go viral as right-wing propaganda would be wise to remember this.
All the more reason to ensure your intent is self-evident. Humor, like idiom, does not always translate well, and nobody wants comments intended as sarcastic or ironic weaponized against them.
All that said, without the Discover "feature" this misunderstanding would happen a lot less.
Combine thatt with folks putting just a little more time into reading/looking at who said a thing before replying/quoting I think we'd have a better time.

I am not anti Palestine (nor anti Jewish ppl). You put me on a list as such. That makes you fit the profile of a troll here to divide people from their own communities. Supposed intentions do not matter, your results matter. Hippie speak doesn't cover it up. Im anti NothinYahoo and anti hamas. BOTH
Darn Leftists! They warned us about this so much that we had to charge headlong into it out of spite! And also they egged us on with their pronouns and cancel culture. Truly masters of sneakery, the left.
We are all floundering to blame something or someone. Maybe it’s too cynical but I’ve come to realize that there just are this many dumbshits, racists, greedy billionaires and the worst kind of Christians living in this country. However, the popular vote margin was very thin in this last election.
FOX NEWS: New poll states US taxpayers enjoy downsizing their lives. Trump’s Golden Age of recession was just what they needed. Some people say they quite enjoy the simple life of eating beans under a bridge because It promotes community and family values. America is finally great again.
Remember like a month ago when they said that the price of eggs going up is actually a good thing because it encourages people to raise their own chickens 🤣
Oh yeah…can’t wait to hear about all the complaints in the “burbs” when all of those chickens are running around and oooo, if they have a rooster doing his thing at the crack of dawn!
Right! Listen, you idiots, there are zoning laws in place. People can't just get chickens.
Btw, I live in an area zoned for livestock, and my neighbors rooster didn't wake up and do his thing until about 11:00 am 😂 Laziest rooster ever.
New York Times: Americans are Hurting, but What About The Environment?
(Article avoids saying "recession", vaguely explains degrowth but doesn't make it clear if it is good or not, gives a number showing a drop in waste, and ends with some metric dug up to say the economy is actually ok)
this article becomes the discourse of the week. Leftists call it liberal nonsense. Liberals sneer at how conservatives finally care about the environment. Conservatives call it commie liberal nonsense. Lots of screenshots and dunking on people/bots. Probably nobody read it.
"Yeah, they've been right about basically everything, but they've been really annoying about it and keep insisting that trans people are real. Guess I have no choice but to cheer on the economic destruction of America and by extension me. Such a shame there's no alternative."
Those stupid leftists, if only they had spent the last 4 years warning the population with hundreds of essays and videos and pocasts and books and documentaries and commentary and protests and exposing corruption and break downs and fact checking. But no they just sat around doing absolutely nothing
yeah, because not enough of them voted for the sane choice ? could have had a caring considerate inclusive president trying to uplift everyone .. no .. america needs a psychopath at the helm..
You should adapt to the simple messaging. Take the leaf from the Trump playbook and stop lecturing. Yes, it's great to be smart, but in politics it's about talking to your audience. Voters, not your debate club. Can you not use the feedback from voters to create a message?
It's so unfortunate that the people in power always happen to be completely powerless to stop the people nowhere near power from causing all our problems.
Nope, not the left. Trump voters were too stupid to not know he lies. The courts moved to slowly to put him in prison for January 6th where men died and he has no remorse.
Well aren’t you sweet!!! Cause you know - it’s always easy to understand sarcasm in texts. And from the responses - I don’t think everyone saw that as sarcasm - but please shake your head at me again!!!
Yep I did that. He isn’t maga - he reposts normal shit. And I have friends still telling me - this is the lefts fault so how would I know this is total sarcasm? Would have been nicer if you all just said - hey I think he was being sarcastic. See how easy that is?
if the democratic elite didn't pick Hillary over Bernie we'd be in a utopia by now, so yes you're right it IS all the DNC's fault; the root of the cause
It wasn’t the Democratic elite who picked Hillary.
It was primary voting Democrats.
Same in 2020 when they chose Biden.
Blame Biden for choosing Merrick Garland as AG, though.
I mean, if we hadn't built up all these social, scientific, education, and safety net programs and institutions over the last decades in the first place we wouldn't be upset over their catastrophic dismantling over the last three months, right?
Queue the chorus of Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi"
No! This is all Obama's fault. Or is it Biden's? No, I've got that wrong. The collapse of the US economy is the result of Hillary emailing. No, wrong again. It's the fault of the Brits not buying our oversized cars. The French have got some explaining to do. And Greenlanders. They caused all this!
My favorite way to blame the left is to somehow manage to do this IN your apology to the left. Their posts are protected now but i believe the OPs response to the last reply was a very musky "exactly."
Comments
or a winky. or similar
Am I being sarcastic? Idk!
Thanks a lot, Obama!
Is this helping? I’m disobeying in advance…
It's their fault.
We know capitalism is death cult 🤷🏻♀️
Just don’t tell the puppy killer.

That'll prevent random posts just appearing in your feed, only ones reposted by people you follow.
It made my experience here much nicer; wish it was the default.
“Fuck off asshole”
What? I was being sarcastic.
The right like sugar, right? That's a thing isn't it? Oh, I'm thinking of ants. I guess I'm useless then.
There's no blame to be put on that idiot Donald Trump that actually did this or the gullible morons that support him
It's all the fault of the left.
Sure it is.
1. The GOP
2. The Media
3. Putin
4. Useful Idiots Who Advocated Against Voting Harris
5. Third-Party Voters
6. Swing Voters
7. Non-Voters
8. The Harris Campaign
Maybe you could fault them for lacking bloodlust.
I mean...
Instead of acting like some trust fund baby of privilege who just woke up from a nap expecting overnight solutions to 80 year conflicts.
idk how you can vote for someone who is complicit for a genocide.

Cody is quite to the political left,so this is utilizing https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/sarcasm and arguibly https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/gallows-humour. It's sarcasm becuse the typical response to anything bad or "bad" is to blame the left no matter what, and given the dire circumstances of our situation, it's a bit on the gallows side of things.

And while we are posting in English, and thus primarly anglo bsky, still, not everyone reading is gonna have English as their primary language. 🤷♀️

Wishes and horses though, eh?
Take care
If you ask for everything you get nothing. Don't you know that?
Famously, in negotiations, you start in the middle and ask for a tiny bit, and you get exactly what you want.
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT?*

She definitely doesn't have those hanging in her office to ragebate, too.
Terrible..."
Right?
Maybe you should change your handle to your YouTube channel maybe.

It didn't have to be this way.
