Lemmy Literally any social media
When I read your username, I somehow get reminded of someones bathroom floor.
Anyone to the left of the DNC leadership: constructively criticizes Joe Biden
Biden stans: You love Trump, don’t you?
On the other side of this, what I find really common is anyone who acknowledges the reality of how the US voting structure works is seen as a Biden Stan
“Hey maybe we should just elect the most popular candidate instead of potentially not electing the most popular candidate”
“HAHA LOOK AT THE LIBTARD”
Nothing wrong about acknowledging the reality of the system being a broken dichotomy, of course.
I’m talking about the people who shut down all valid criticism with the “but Trump is worse” whataboutism or “stop giving Trump ammunition” as if anyone sane didn’t already know Trump is awful and as if the Mango Mussolini wouldn’t just make shit up regardless…
If you think voting the DNC will fix anything YOU don’t understand how the US voting structure works
Eating won’t fix cancer, so don’t bother.
My guy: sometimes you do things to prevent new problems. Making nothing better still beats making everything worse.
That’s because it’s a common argument of Biden stans. It’s pretty telling that they can’t think of anything good to say about their candidate, so instead it’s this stuff.
There’s a lot of good and bad.
Bad - Supporting Israel financially, forcing the rail workers back to work from their strike, his environmental policies seem half hearted.
Good - Forgiving large amounts of student loan debt, having his cabinet work with the DEA at reclassifing weed while promoting the idea publically, putting billions into Urban reconstruction to help cities become less dependent on roads and more accessible for the least fortunate.
It’s more nuanced than he’s great or awful. He’s just better. As it often ends up coming to in American politics.
As an aside I long for multi choice voting.
Yeah, but people also have blinders as to how the actual voting structure works. If you’re in CA/NY for dems or AL/MS for repubs, your vote basically doesn’t matter since those places will go blue/red no matter what, so you’re 100% free to vote for the person/platform you actually like! Any insinuation that you might vote for someone other than Biden is met with immediate scorn and ridicule.
Sorry, but no. Lemmy is an echo chamber. If one server likes pancakes and another server likes waffles, they’ll just defederate.
Will happen in any social media. If you’re neurodivergent, chances are it will happen to you offline as well. People are just really dumb.
Oh yes it can happen anywhere. But it is happening here much more than it happened to me on Reddit. Honestly at this point I’m really tempted to just give up all social media. I like having a website like this but… They all turn into toxic shit holes of one flavor or another in the end.

Modern debate literally anywhere:
