    I genuinely think now you’re a paid lobbyist. There is so much evidence

    Look, I get you strongly disagree with them, but please don’t fall into the trap of thinking people who disagree strongly with you aren’t real.

    Anti-capitalists have many, many issues with the Biden admin and Democrats generally, for a whole host of reasons. It doesn’t mean we want Trump to win, think he’s equally as bad, or want you to not vote. And it most certainly doesn’t make us paid shills. It just means we want better, and we are often frustrated at how “better” is never an option.

    I can’t speak for what Flash Mob’s beliefs are directly, but I can absolutely say I’ve been in a similar position. It is beyond aggravating to have no options that actually represent your beliefs, but to nonetheless have so many people around you insist that you should be happy about one of the awful options because the candidate in question – who is doing the things you hate – sometimes pays lip service to what you actually wanted. Or because it’s a woman doing it, now. Or, most frequently, because the Republicans managed to dig to an even deeper circle of Hell this time.

    Our options are terrible, and we’re pissed about it. But it doesn’t make us not real. All that accusations like that do is prevent people from being understood.

      That wasn’t why I made that accusation.

      I’ve identified multiple lobbyists on Facebook. They talk a certain way. I’ve identified people working for the forestry industry and even car companies talking crap about EVs (a ford distributor to Kia as an example)…

      In this case, they have a new account, making comments which obviously are incorrect. Furthermore, odd they picked beehaw.

      If it quacks like a duck, it’s a duck.

      I strongly believe this is an account which isn’t neutral . It is clear that there is a huge difference between the two candidates. The only reason why one would claim otherwise, is to discourage voting

      Surely even you know their comments feel like an anomaly. Something is weird about the comments they make, like they’re trying to act non-biased

      It makes no sense that a guy/gal who claims they’re left wing, would try to sabotage votes for the left wing and seemingly assist the far right wing instead simply because their person wasn’t picked. That should be a huge red flag…
