I’ve been lying to people about target who I don’t think would boycott for progressive reasons.

Told my mom they got caught charging higher at the register than the price tags and she won’t shop there now. Let’s pump these numbers up. Send a message to these corporate shit heads

"I've been lying to people who I don't think would protest the election for political reasons. Told my mom they hacked the voting machines in the middle of the night. Send a message to those liberal shit heads"

Do you see how your logic mirrors that of the far right? If the idiots didn't have teams to root for, maybe this world would have a chance.

Yeah I'm not really sure if the party of looking deeply into the camera and promising project 2025 isn't real is going to do anything but cheer at the idea that we're only willing to fight fair. I'd rather go down kicking screaming, lying, biting.

And that's what the party you are kicking, screaming, lying, and biting for is hoping you will believe. You are being deceived at the same level as the goons fighting for Trump - the tell is that you couldn't even see that explicitly stated in my comment. Fucking think for yourself, jesus christ.

I'm not doing it for the party, I'm doing it for my brother's Hispanic girlfriend, her son, the three transwomen I met in college, the huge number of nonwhite people at work, and my polish immigrant family.

But no, you are soooo right. I'm sure the fairness and decorum of independent thought will save us all from the meat grinder they're setting up in the "immigration processing facilities" sponsored by Proctor and Gamble. I mean, surely the oligarchs will give us all big smoochies on the forehead for not lying about them to get our elderly conservative relatives to boycott.

You don't have a monopoly on righteous outrage, you just fall prey to the politics that harness that outrage against another party. Your mistake is thinking they actually care about you.

Again, "oligarchs"; "Proctor and Gamble sponsored facilities". It's all so tedious. Think for yourself.

really, the person who just believes blindly that target is messing up the prices is the one who is not thinking for her self and falling for a lie. the liar is just doing US politics as prescribed

You’re gonna be stunned to find out that these corporations are very much not ethical
