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.

    If all we can expect is genocide, we have to consider other interests. I don’t think Biden wants dead Palestinians, he just isn’t willing to toss Israel out in the cold and that is better than cheerleading the bombs.

      Then we have failed. We shouldn’t accept “little a nazi, as a treat”.

        I would say you exaggerate, and you should not vote and let the adults decide your government for you.

          Me saying that we shouldn’t accept genocide is not exaggeration. What happened to “never again”? You being fine with genocide doesn’t make you an adult, in fact it’s quite the opposite since you submit to authority like a cowardly child.
