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.

    Just admit you have no fucks to give to those that live here in America and instead, will side with people in a country you probably couldn’t have pointed to on a map a year ago and save us all the suffering of having to constantly explain how things work to you.

      Yeah, as long as upper middle-class Americans are comfortable, absolutely. Saving you from the consequences of your own conservative politics would be a great honor. The rest of the country and world just needs to take a few more for the team am I right?

        The simple fact that you’re suggesting that my politics are “conservative” truly shows you’re not here to even try to be in good faith.

        An in fairness. I’m only here to help you call yourself out.
