    The downvotes tell me that tribalism is alive and well on the left.

    Dude said he wants to kill everyone that isn’t a trump supporter and you’re crying about tribalism on the left because of downvotes? Fucking seriously?

      Haven’t you heard? Clicking a down arrow on the internet is literally the exact same thing as making a death threat. Both sides are equally bad!

      No, Marblemouth said that. The guy’s a bad reporter and a reporter should never say, “I agree,” but rushing to condemn him over that is just as tribalistic as supporting him because he’s a, “right wing reporter.” (A thing that shouldn’t exist)

      If you really want to get him fired I’m sure he’s done way worse shit than not hear somebody.

      Anyway, I’ve already called talking about this a waste of energy yet here I am still talking about it, so I’m done. See ya.

        I never mentioned the reporter.

        I was simply pointing out the absurdity of you crying about leftist tribalism because of downvotes on a video of a guy literally saying he wants to kill all non Trump supporters.

          And I was talking about how it’s not unreasonable to believe that the reporter couldn’t hear Marblemouth in a loud environment and wasn’t aware of what he was saying “I agree” too.

          Marblemouth can go fuck himself and if that’s what you’re removed at me about then at least be on the same page.

          And you know what? Marblemouth votes. Do you?

        lmfao Ah, the fabled “both sides” of saying you want to murder political rivals. Incredible to see you here saying it so loudly and proudly.

          Haranguing me over saying “I dunno, it was loud and the guy can’t speak clearly. Maybe he didn’t actually understand what he said and was moving on, like we’ve all done.”

          Funny how people are completely ignoring the parts of my comments where I agree this guy sucks for other reasons, which are on display in the same video.

          Tribalism. The tribe has decided that I’m the enemy even though I am firmly on the side of anti-fascists, but you still have to be able to think for yourself, man. You’ve fallen for the divisionary tactics they use to make us fight each other.
