  • Well we can reframe that slightly and it still works.

    “You gaslit yourself into thinking a genocide was justifiable to win, and you lost. Now you are just a loser who supports genocide.”

    This is great. It’s so flexible

    “You threw economic populism and the poor people of this country under the bus in favor of chrony capitalism to win, and you lost. Now you are just a loser chroney capitalist.”

    “You became a xenophobe to win and you lost. Now you are just a xenophobe.”

    “You sacrificed a movement politics for donor money to win. Now you are just a loser with no base”

    This is just pattenly untrue.Unless you litterally live I. a corporate news echo chamber, the writing for this has been on the wall, and being discussed as such, litterally everywhere.

    However, it was also being downvoted at a preposterously high ratio. So while it was present, Lemmy (and reddit too and pretty much all social media) was dutifully ignoring and abusing those saying that Kamala wasn’t winning.

    Not only that, but there were bans, and significant bias in moderation behavior to support the building of that echo chamber.

    So no. Only if you live in a self construct d bubble was this not obvious since the convention.
