It is, but the same people that refuses to use the sarcasm indicator are the same ones that complains when people miss their sarcasm. I always say there is a non-zero chance people will miss the tone when reading text, so don't complain when people do when you refuse to use the sarcasm indicator. If you're gonna complain about it, it is now a your problem, as well.

It's a different user. I'm a third different user. Maybe read the whole thing before criticizing so strongly??

You're right. I should have gone back to the original comment and read the username before replying. I'm surprised how many different people are reacting so defensively for a joke comment they didn't make.

You do realize many people don't generally read every comment in detail, especially ones they saw as right wing rethoric because of your first sentence? It's not like there is much to gain from reading such a comment properly.

Your first mistake is that the first sentence was too convincing, making any hints later that isn't a literal sarcasm indicator completely useless to a lot of people. A joke is all about the delivery, and a good comedian adjusts their delivery to their audience. By the way you react to people, I can tell you have trouble with both of those.

I can't believe there are still people that thinks sarcasm can be easily read through text without an indicator.

No, they said "it felt right" which is incomprehensible to anyone that doesn't have any experience with how a CFD results generally looks like.

You're right, that one is very very important.

You guys need more progressive policies. Examples being:

  1. Proper healthcare system, either through single payer system or through government-controlled pricing of medicine and drugs and a national insurance. The rights to access healthcare for anyone should also be enshrined if possible.
  2. Tax your billionaires properly. The top bracket should not be 37%.
  3. Get rid of Citizen United. Get uncontrolled money lobbying out of your politics. To go even further, you might even want to get rid of corporation personhood and stop people in charge and investors from being shielded from the consequence of their decisions.
  4. Move away from car dependency and invest more in public transport. Get better standards for driving tests and get rid of loopholes that allows car manufacturers to categorise SUVs and all pickup trucks as a work vehicle to avoid emission requirements.
  5. Stricter gun regulations, especially for private gun sales. Psychological evaluation should be a basic requirement to owning a gun.
  6. Improving worker's rights with federal minimums for paid leave, sick leave, maternity and paternity leave, increased minimum wage to a livable wage, and remove exceptions for minimum wage by counting tips and such.
  7. Invest more in lower education while regulating the price of universities and colleges. Education is one of the first steps toward improving the lives of the future generation and the country.

These are just some examples of things that can help the US catch up with the rest of the world. It might not be possible to achieve all of these within 4 years, but you guys need a politician that are willing to fight for them instead of ones that only flip flops their opinion based on consultant recommendation.

What part of showing you misrepresenting what I said is gaslighting? Do you even know what the word means?

Funny how you think voters are complicit in the worsening crisis by demanding Biden and Harris to stop supporting a genocide, but somehow the Biden administration gets a pass despite directly strengthening Israel and vetoing every effort by the UN to rein in Israel's actions which led to them being emboldened and doing whatever they currently please. Now that's pure gaslighting if I ever see one.

You can continue defending the Democrats only listening to the elite class and alienating their voters, but it is the responsibility of the party to persuade voters to vote for them. Expecting the majority of voters to be informed enough to vote for the lesser evil of the Democrats without them putting in any effort to court them is hilariously naive considering the continuous gutting of your education system and worker's rights. That's the biggest blunder of the whole 2024 election. It also shows how out-of-touch the Democrats have become to even think that was possible.

In order to win, you need to look at reality and stop imagining the existence of the large voter base that is always informed enough to vote for the lesser evil despite being ignored and the moderate Republican that would vote for Democrats if you appeal to them. You also need to stop advocating for the status quo given that it is the current system that created the mess you're in right now. Any Democratic candidate that is in favour of the status quo in the next presidential election is one that supports the continuous downward spiral of your country.

Is there a particular reason for that? I don't know enough about Spanish history.

It's literally outright fallacious to equate wanting a Democratic candidate that listens to their constituents with saying we want a perfect Democratic candidate. Can you please not lie so openly and brazenly? You're simply doubling down on doing the insanity thing now. Haven't you learned anything from 2024?

[–] stephen01king@piefed.zip 10 points 3 days ago (8 children)

This is just a stupid and ineffective strategy to win the election. You guys lost to Trump of all people due to Dems being ineffective and refusing to listen to their base. Now you're just trying to do the same thing again. Remind me again about the definition of insanity?
