    Im a socialist and regularly say things similar to Democrat party. I use the term “lib” derogatorily, for one. Democrats have nothing to do with me and I oppose them, so why would I use their preferred language that implies they value democracy? In my experience, libs constantly use claims of shills as an excuse to ignore me, despite the fact that I’m very clearly not a shill. Whether or not I’m right or not, every time I voice opinions disagreeing with the majority liberal view, I get called a shill. Even times where I was wrong and they should have been able to have a better argument.

      Where in your socialist reading did you pick up that unusual turn of phrase, I wonder

      I just looked over a few of your comments and all I can say is, fuckin’ wow. I think if you’re going to say Russia should have Crimea and Donbas and you’d vote for Trump over Biden, you should get used to people assuming you’re a Russian asset, whether it’s true or not.

        I picked it up from people who dislike the Democrats. You act like that’s somehow nefarious. I would vote for Biden, except the rules regarding genocide explicitly prohibit good people from voting for genociders. Don’t blame me, I didn’t make the rules. The Democrats really did tie my hands and do it to themselves. They could have ran anybody else and won easily. Instead they’re forcing a ton of good people on the left to vote against them.

        I don’t actually think Russia should have them, but I very much don’t want America to be involved over there at all. We need to let nature take it’s course, Ukraine isn’t our responsibility to protect. If thateans Russia gets back some land it lost like 30 years ago, who cares? Honestly it’d be a net positive for the world if Russia got strong enough to be a real check on America. Ideally America wouldn’t do shit like genocide Palestinians and we wouldn’t need that, but, here we are.
