      Um, out of interest I went through their posts of the last week or so. Three were critical of trump, one was critical of biden

      Perhaps a bit of cognitive bias going on there?

        People had an utter panic attack about this a few months ago. It’s just that they post so much stuff that their name becomes recognizable so people freaked out because they noticed some of it, a small percentile really, was critical of Joe Biden. They panicked and tried to ban the user from basically everything they could. Most of them never thought to look and see what you did which is this user basically posts ad nauseam everything they can find. Some of it critical of Biden some of it critical of trump most having nothing to do with politics at all.

        I had thought that people calmed down and cooler heads had prevailed. I guess there’s some weak-willed people still out there though.

      very little negatives about Trump…

      The problem with lemmy.world is the lack of Trump-negative articles. There simply isn’t enough of them.

        Every chamber will form an echo. It’s how humans are hardwired—to seek out community and belonging.

          After a certain point, I’m more interested in direct action ideas from like-minded people than yet another debate about utopia.

            We need to send all the billionaires and politicians to space to experience the Overview Effect so they can realize we need to collaborate and stop worrying about our slight differences.

                  Due to budget cuts the heat shield for re-entry was cut. Thanks to these budget cuts we gave everybody in the lower echelons of your company a big fat bonus.

                  We hope you have a pleasant stay in space.

                  I think slingshotting the rich people around the sun should be considered, even if they just wanted to go to orbit. We can tell them its for the coolness factor.

        Equal level of scrutiny > equal number of negative posts

        Maybe there are a million “trump is bad” articles because there are a million unique reasons that trump is bad. We don’t need a million “Harris is bad” articles to make it fair, we need legitimate comparison on equal ground. Nobody is insisting that you repost what’s already been said, but nobody needs to hear “Harris is also bad” when the only reasonable goal of such a thing is to draw a false equivalency in order to either encourage people that voting for trump isn’t actually all that bad, or discourage barely-motivated Harris voters from actually getting up off their asses to vote for her.

        To be clear, Harris isn’t perfect, but she’s proven to be competent and capable of growth as a human being who is engaging in a similar human experience as other people and understands the actual struggles we endure, their causes, and has proposed some solutions. The other fucking guy is airing out personal grievances, bitching about consequences for his actions, and spreading blatantly racist lies about immigrants which would make Hitler himself blush.

            You’ve been here a while and most have told you about how it looks time and time again.

            Either you’re the living embodiment of the Skinner “No, it’s the children who are the problem” meme or you’re a “hidden” Trumpet/Russian asset/Bot

                Then why are you so hell bent on helping Trump?

                  I’m not a Democrat I’m not a Republican. It’s the Democrats that are starting to court Republicans even praising war criminal Cheney. Politicians should constantly be critiqued. Hold their feet to the fire.

            Oh, okay, glad all we needed was the smart votes and the votes from the deeply politically engaged.

            It reminds me of other instances of left purity, where somehow large swathes of voters don’t count because they’re too dirty, or something.

        Why would I post duplicates?

        It would help your staunch support of the GOP go unnoticed if you did.

        Also it would help people like me respect your opinions if you were to show some level of consistency.
