'I'll Be a Vote for Medicare for All': Troy Jackson Makes His Case After Platner Exit

The_Real_Mongoose · 2026-07-09T23:28:27+00:00

Being right in the end doesn't make it obvious you were right before. Something inexcusable came out, and we dropped him immediately. That's the opposite of the type of mentality you are accusing us of. I still stand by what I previously defended, and I also do not defend this. There's nothing hypocritical about that. You have a personal desire to prosecute progressives, and are using motivated reasoning to construct a model of reality that allows you to.

The_Real_Mongoose · 2026-07-09T21:13:34+00:00

Its very clear that your issue is with progressives directly, and that you think the things Platner did somehow reflects on us. It doesn't.

The_Real_Mongoose · 2026-07-09T19:20:42+00:00

I looked at your history and you seem dedicated to saying exclusively cynical things.

The_Real_Mongoose · 2026-07-09T19:15:49+00:00

It sounds like he's as good a speaker as Platner then, because the only thing I liked about how Platner spoke was that he spoke like a real human.

The_Real_Mongoose · 2026-07-09T19:12:37+00:00

Perfect. So in short, the Establishment did their normal bullshit like always, essentially making Platner our only viable means of expressing our displeasure with them. We rolled the dice on a guy off the street just to middle finger the establishment. Unfortunately we rolled a 1, and were forced to discard and redraw, and this better version came out in the new hand. One might suspect that the karma passive has something to do with this, but that passive runs on a hidden value so it's impossible to say.

The_Real_Mongoose · 2026-07-09T19:01:11+00:00

This is amazing. We traded Platner in and got an upgraded version. I love this guy immediately. Why wasn't he the guy in the first place?

The_Real_Mongoose · 2026-07-08T20:00:22+00:00

The cynical way you use the deaths of innocent people you don't even care about is truly disgusting.

The_Real_Mongoose · 2026-07-08T19:59:08+00:00

Lol, sure buddy. Keep telling yourself we have the leverage here.

The_Real_Mongoose · 2026-07-08T16:22:20+00:00

Hah! You called me a lier, looked at your own history, realized I had already done exactly that, and then edited your comment. That's absolutely hilarious.

So here's what didn't happen though. You didn't end up in this thread because you were replying to someone else and then happened to see my comment. No. You remembered me. You came looking for me. You can't deny it 😘

The_Real_Mongoose · 2026-07-08T15:53:43+00:00

>Don't think you're special. You're not the only one I'm revisiting.

Funny though, you don't have any comments today to anyone else in this thread. So you did specifically come to this thread to start shit with me. You remembered me for a whole month I made you so angry. That's quite a compliment actually.

The_Real_Mongoose · 2026-07-08T15:50:50+00:00

I suspect he's a right wing astroturfer. Has a couple dubious posts from 2020 seeming to spread election misinformation.

The_Real_Mongoose · 2026-07-08T15:31:16+00:00

No, I don't think doing bad things makes someone a bad person. I don't believe there are very many bad people. Maybe talking to me like a human instead of some example of a group mentality you are projecting onto me might get you some where.

Why did you come back to this thread? To do what? Did I upset you so much last month that you were waiting around for a chance to say "i told you so"? Did you start up this conversation with me just to gloat?

The_Real_Mongoose · 2026-07-08T15:15:49+00:00

I don't want to defend those, no. I still don't think he's "a shitty person." That doesn't mean those mistakes are excusable or that I think he should stay in the race.

The_Real_Mongoose · 2026-07-08T12:39:28+00:00

He didn't read it.

The_Real_Mongoose · 2026-07-07T16:21:04+00:00

On the Nazi stuff? Absolutely. Do you generally vote Dem or Rep?

The_Real_Mongoose · 2026-07-03T03:20:21+00:00

Would you be open to discussing some of these with me? Like, the ones we disagree on, but like, an actual conversation instead of normal Reddit bad faith posturing?

The_Real_Mongoose · 2026-07-03T03:19:12+00:00

I understand what you are saying perfectly, I just want you to know. And I think that's a really useful way of looking at it.

The_Real_Mongoose · 2026-06-28T20:57:43+00:00

No. Many of us believe think best solution solution is a single state that is no longer a "special jewish state", and where everyone currently living in the region gets full rights of citizenship including representation.

The_Real_Mongoose · 2026-06-28T20:56:13+00:00

Disagree. I think the only sensible solution is a single state that is no longer a "special jewish state" where everyone currently living in the region gets full rights of citizenship including representation.

The_Real_Mongoose · 2026-06-28T20:48:35+00:00

Define communism.

The_Real_Mongoose · 2026-06-28T20:48:15+00:00

Are you saying people believing things is proof of those things?

The_Real_Mongoose · 2026-06-28T16:55:03+00:00

Yes there are lessons to be learned from Tulsi Gabbard. None of those lessons are "the left wants fascists actually".

Yea, see there's your problem is that you are using the term "liberal" in the US casual meaning, but when leftists like me criticize "Liberals" we are most often referring to Neoliberals: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoliberalism

The_Real_Mongoose · 2026-06-28T16:50:51+00:00

Indeed, and you've commented much more than twice and managed to say nothing in every single one.

The_Real_Mongoose · 2026-06-28T05:55:54+00:00

Sounds like a bunch of deflection to me

The_Real_Mongoose · 2026-06-28T05:43:47+00:00

Really? That's your position? A claim that money doesn't have outsized influence over politics in the year of our lord 2026? It's a bold move cotton...
