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.
You people are still trying the “both sides” thing? It’s getting old.
Any criticism of democrats is magically dispelled by calling “both sides” huh? This may be shocking to you, but democrats and republicans i.e. “both sides” are actually the same on a number of issues, including many major ones like undying support for the genocidal ethnostate known as israel. You can’t just dismiss this with the magical “both sides” accusation. You’re mistaking “both sides are exactly the same in all ways” with “both sides are bad in certain ways”.
