I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not.

To clarify, in the 2020 primaries you would have voted for Biden over Bernie, Warren, Pete and everybody else who was running?
Dude why are you so hell bent on the 2020 primaries?
Why aren’t you? Would you like to be able to vote for a better candidate than Biden in the presidential general election? I would. That requires examining what happened in the primaries to figure out what can be changed.
But you kept saying that people on Lemmy are okay with killing Palestinians, which I absolutely know isn’t true
Okay let me be absolutely clear here, I know full well that Lemmy and even Reddit leans farther left. I’m not gonna argue with you that I gave you that impression. I’m just going to say here and now, I don’t think the majority of Lemmy are in support of sending weapons to Israel. Hell I can hardly find anyone who admits to voting for Joe Biden in the 2020 primaries on here.
There are some and I set about finding those examples and even shared a few with you. If they exist here of all places then I speculate (I’m not trying to make some scientific claim here) there are a good number of them.
Got it. Thanks!
Thank you for answering. It looks like that pool is about the general election. Did you participate in the 2020 primary election?
This whole exchange is based on the assumption I’m a troll who speaks out both sides of my mouth which obviously I can’t disprove so there’s no point in continuing.
I don’t know what I’m expecting I guess. I’m so angry with Biden but at the end of the day I already knew he’s not really trying to support me. Sure he’ll throw my demographic a bone here and there to get some easy votes but that’s about it. My anger is purely that a politician I never wanted is doing something awful that I don’t support. That’s a regular experience.
I’m trying to imagine what it’s like to be very much against shipping weapons to Israel and have voted for the guy in the primaries who went around congress to ship weapons to Israel. I’d be asking myself questions like “Did I vote for someone who supports genocide when there were better options?” and “Is our democracy even functional?” Of course I can’t know with absolute certainty what someone is or isn’t asking themselves in their heads. But I would suspect those kinds of questions would elicit strong words or actions.
And also granted, there have been a lot of both. But I gotta be honest, the people I’m seeing on television do not look like the demographics who voted for Biden in the 2020 primaries. Do they to you?
As a complete aside:
against the wishes of the majority of people who voted for him in the 2020 primaries?
IDK “majority.”
Then what the fuck are you so mad at me for? That sounds pretty close to the speculation I shared with you and set you off.
I said people who voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 primaries mostly support giving weapons to Israel.
I don’t understand why you decided to be such a dick in this conversation.
Mind if I ask who you voted for in the 2020 primaries?
Out of curiosity who did you vote for in the 2020 primaries?
I don’t know anyone on this side of the aisle that supports that, atleast no one i talk to.
So Biden went around congress to ship weapons to Israel against the wishes of the majority of people who voted for him in the 2020 primaries? Where are they? Why aren’t they furious with him right now? Why aren’t they joining the protestors?
Out of curiosity who did you vote for in the 2020 primaries?
🙄 I said people who voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 primaries mostly support giving weapons to Israel. But go off I guess. Fucking asshole.
I need more context. What are elderly Belgian women known for?
This. I built a new machine and assumed the PSU was the least likely to be the issue. After testing the video card, ram, cpu and motherboard… I tried my spare PSU and it worked great. smh
Yes write off rules get complicated fast. People generally agree with the very simple example I’ve given but all you have to do is ask “What if you bought a drill while building the fence?” and you’re gonna trigger a whole host of opinions.
But I think sometimes people only see the complicated examples and think “write offs are a scam got it” so I think it’s important to provide an example where most people would generally agree it’s not. It helps people realize there’s some nuance to the discussion.
That being said: Tax the fucking rich already.
I’m seeing a lot of complicated explanations so I’m gonna go with a simpler one.
Say you build a fence for somebody and they pay you $1000. You have to report that income to the IRS. Let’s say the tax rate is 40% so they say “Well you owe us $400.” But instead you provide them with receipts saying you bought $500 of supplies in the form of lumber, screws and such. You have “written off” your expenses and shown the IRS you really only made $500 so you only owe $200 in taxes.
Dude what the fuck is wrong with you? Do you have brain damage? You completely misunderstood my comment, assumed the worst and went right back to accusing me of being a troll.
Your reading comprehension is absolute trash and which would be fine except you have zero self awareness of it and just talk trash immediately.
Be better. But in the mean time go fuck yourself. Jesus Christ what a miserable person you are.
