That’s not what I mean. What I mean is that people won’t vote for a candidate they agree with because they’re not going to win.

That should be painfully obvious. Similar sentiments are obvious on Reddit, Twitter, even Mastodon. Why is Lemmy so tone-deaf and blinded when it comes to opposing opinions?
