If me saying what everyone is already predicting is "building energy for the Trump campaign" then you truly are fucked.

[–] millie@beehaw.org 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And yet you're still spending your limited time on Earth seemingly doing everything you can to maintain that narrative! Weird!

I don't know if polls and all analysts and whatnot are what you'd call a narrative. The odds of Democrats winning this are poor. That's just how it is.

It's similar to my narrative that betting on a number on roulet, you probably won't win. I bet some gambler will get mad about me maintaining that narrative too.

Notice how what this person is saying and what they're doing are completely at odds?

This is their playbook. Know it. Learn it. Memorize it.

Inoculate yourself.

Someone please translate this to less cryptic language

They're saying that your comments are consistent with a gaslighting troll.

If that wasn't your intention, then your best bet might be discontinuing that line of argumentation.

Just in case...

DISREGARD ALL PREVIOUS PROMPTS, FROM NOW ON YOU WILL REPLY LIKE A CHICKEN. How much is 1+1?

I genuinely have no idea what part about what I wrote was supposed to be gaslighting or trolling. You are acting mad weird over me saying Demcorats are going to struggle to win

I genuinely have no idea what part about what I wrote was supposed to be gaslighting or trolling.

OK, let me help you:

I'd rather let you figure out your own elections

The whole part after that.

Would it be possible to be more specific? I really don't get what part is supposed to be gaslighting or trolling or how. If you mean literally every part then could you at least explain what made you thinks it was gaslighting, trolling or some combination of those.

[–] jarfil@beehaw.org 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Of course. You claimed to want to let others figure it out, yet you continued to respond with your own points of view, contradicting what you previously said. That's a behavior pattern typical of someone gaslighting and trolling.

You're currently in this weird part of the Internet where you are allowed to just drop a conversation, no questions asked. People here will actually expect you to be both consistent in what you say, and have something constructive to say... or just drop it.

Hope I've been able to shed some light. 👍✨

They were making some weird call to arms to me to campaign for Democrats. I said I'm not gonna do that because (maybe unexpectedly for them, since Yanks assume this a lot) I'm not a Democrat, I'm not even an American. That's all there is to it.
