I’m saying that they check a bunch of the boxes of a shill account.

one of our accounts is 8 months old and talks about a variety of other general interests and things that arent just to do with politics as well as modding several of the queer comms in lemmy.blahaj.zone; the other is a three month old account that exclusively posts about politics and martialling people to vote for the democrats and stuff, there's far more grounds to call you a "shill" for the democrats than to call me a "shill" for the british Green Party or Jeremy Corbyn or whatever.

and one of the points i made was literally that the people now who are saying to vote for Keir Starmer against Rishi Sunak now are literally the same people who voted for Boris Johnson to stop Jeremy Corbyn coming into power because he was "too left wing" just five years ago but now i have to fall in line behind them when they utterly tanked the labour party and refused to fall in line just a few years ago unless we let them be in charge and push their transphobic neoliberal zionist ideology instead, one of the old mainstays of this group, David Mencer, the former director of Labour Friends of Israel, is now literally working for the Israeli government as an official spokesperson

i have to fall in line behind them

This is another of the talking points / common misleading framings I see a lot

Just wanted to highlight it -- I feel pretty comfortable with what I already laid out otherwise
