Kbin/Mbin (and possibly others?) definitely have the edge here since those platforms make votes public (only admins can see them on Lemmy). So, if you want to confirm what I’m saying here, go view some of these posts from Kbin/Mbin.
Every time one of the “usual suspects” says stuff like this in the comments, there will later be posts detailing how Biden is doing (or at least earnestly trying to do) exactly the things they’re saying he needs to be doing (oR ElSe i WiLl noT voTE anD NEithER ShoULD yoU!!!11!!). 100% of the time, those posts are downvoted by these same “usual suspect” accounts.
What gives? They have very strong opinions about how he should run his administration, so you’d think they’d appreciate him doing what they’ve been so helpfully suggesting. Unless…it was never about the issues at all.
That thin veneer of concern they’re hiding behind is not as thick as they think it is and is quite easy to see through. Now you know where to look.
Edit: Please don’t name and shame any specific users. That may violate the community or LW rules. We all know who most of the “usual suspects” are.
Bullshit. The vote blue no matter who down vote brigade is a menace. If any of y’all catch a whiff of criticism, you start screaming “bot” and slamming down votes. Shut down any opportunities for education or discourse, and now that ya boi made a goddamn fool out of all of us last night you’re still on your bullshit.
To be clear, I’m a left progressive and I would pull out my own fingernails if I thought it gave a chance to prevent Trump. I’ll hold my nose or whatever. But the worst of you are as toxic as any moderate republican. I’m so tired of being lectured by people who don’t do any kind of political organizing outside of voting, and it shows. Don’t act like you care if you only check in for 6 months out of 4 years. Your apathy is the reason why the only real opposition to fash in this country are completely incompetent nincompoops
