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.

      I still chuckle every time I see that posted unironically, as if it’s a nickname that’s going to stick.

        Bless their hearts, they’re trying to make it stick, though.

        I just immediately block the people that use it unironically. They’re either so lacking in nuance that I don’t care what they have to say, actively shilling, or are useful idiots who drank the Kool Aid (or some combo thereof).

        And it’s such an OBVIOUS Trumpism, I can’t believe the far left is stupid enough to think they came up with it.

        I’m very happy with it sticking as a name for Joseph Stalin, who passed a law making it illegal to be gay.

        This seems to piss off the MLs for some reason
