    Interesting take – walk me through the reasoning there.

      Liberals can’t see beyond the next election (myopic). They also can’t see the results of 30 years of “voting blue no matter who,” so they lack the ability to learn.
      Meanwhile leftists have been saying since Marx that Capitalism is the problem, and voting for your favorite color of Capitalism isn’t beneficial to anyone but the Capitalist system. So yes there are that many myopic people, like yourself, who will not only vote for blue capitalism over literally any other action, but they will also come to explicitly leftists spaces and browbeat others to do the same.

        So, to be clear:

        • Donjuanme suggested that the reason they and Jaderick were downvoted was because of Russian intervention

        • Linkerbaan mocked that suggestion

        • I proposed that it wasn’t Russians or bots, merely myopic .ml users (such as yourself) who did the downvoting

        • You’ve come along and suggested that those .ml users who did that downvoting are myopic liberals invading leftist spaces

        Is that really what you think of yourself?

          Whenever I see a person blaming Russian’s and Bots for going against their narrative, I know I’ve found a liberal. When someone else entertaining the option and suggesting the people downvoting the liberal are in the wrong, well it looks like I found two liberals.

            Well, I certainly never accused you of having the intelligence required to follow a thread that’s a whole 5 tiers deep. So that checks out.

            If you want to accuse yourself of being a myopic liberal, you go right ahead, champ!
