    This may shock readers of the Washington Examiner, but it’s a plus for him in my book.

    Reagan era might’ve been the last time he wasn’t a sheepdog for the Democrats, too. If my principles die in old age and I’m still living, someone needs to hurry the process up and bump me off.

    Bernie Sanders is a socialdemocrat. This says nothing about Bernie other than he’s a “sellout”, much like other socialdemocrats.

    So the Washington examiner is a right wing rag, so this is a shitty source. How’s that? I discussed the article!

      Then it must really bum you out that the article has some upvotes in this community. Add that to the fact that I give zero shits about what you think, must bum you out even more.

      How many usernames are you gonna log in under so that you can give it more downvotes?

      And you know, there’s that whole thing where ya admitted you keep an online diary about me.

      Keep stalking, but I’ll keep posting.

            Your behavior echoes Trump’s quite closely. So touchy about these things. Will it upset you if I point out the several posts you have several dozen downvotes on? Post history is public.

              My post history is public. In fact, here’s a direct link to it: https://lemmy.world/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts

              See all those socialist posts? Man, that must really bum you out since you like to pretend that I’m a Trump voter. lmao

              And unlike you, I don’t care about downvotes. My posts are public, I have nothing to hide, and I stand by everything I’ve said.

              You seem to be obsessed about my posts though. I’m about to post some more too. So be sure to update your stats about me that you post over and over! :)

              Plus I’m not obligated to explain any of my stances to you. :)

      Gotta say it was pretty delicious when you got banned from your own sub

      The only place that I know of that I’ve been banned from is your weird instance I never heard of and never visited, and you thought permabanning me would be funny. Which it is, because I would never go there anyway.

      Considering that you have multiple usernames and you track me across several posts/communites to stalk me, and the fact that you admitted you keep a diary about me; I can’t take anything you say seriously.

      I also know why you are so mad at me now! At first, I thought it was because I posted third party news. But that was so strange that you would stalk me just because of that. That was just too over the top.

      But it’s from my very first days on here when I poked fun at incels who had AI girlfriends. YOU were that guy who couldn’t let it go!!! You were very upset. Remember that?!

      All because I said having an AI girlfriend is creepy. But you also worship the duopoly, so it all kind of makes sense. lolololol

          THAT is the ban you are talking about?! I got a one-day ban because I posted too many socialist articles to that socialist community. I think it was like 4 articles.

          I didn’t even know I was banned from it and now it’s already over! If you wouldn’t have told me, I wouldn’t even know.

          And you know what’s even funnier? That you went stalking and searching for me to find out where I was banned from! LMAO

          Let’s go ahead and put in the pic of that big bad ban in here for everyone can see what you are going on about:
