I was responding to “the sentiment I see on this platform” because I don’t have to look far to see people engaging in bothsides-ist rhetoric. That shit always favors the worse side.
I’m not a native speaker so bear with me, but from what I saw, they said “I simply reply to the sentiment I see on this platform, if it was pro-trump I would critique that”
ie: If I’m online and replying to things it’s going to be the most common sentiment- which from my own personal experience it’s not pro-Trump.
From my reading you were the one trying to twist that meaning from “majority sentiment is pro-democrats” to “there are no reactionaries on this platform”
There’s plenty of both-sidesing on this platform, though. Plenty of tankies too. I find it suspicious somebody only sees Biden-or-bust, and has only ever argued against them.
its not a goalpost shift, you claimed they werent seeing pro trump posts, and they asked for evidence. It is a fact that the platform as a whole is extremely anti trump.
I simply reply to the sentiment I see on this platform. If it was pro-Trump I would critique that.
Then either you aren’t looking, or you just don’t want to see.
Can you give me an example of a pro-Trump post that was recently in top? i see a couple right now against Trump.
I reject this goalpost shift.

For example: Here’s somebody who believes America should have remained neutral in World War II.
lol in what world is that ‘top’, it’s a heavily downvoted thread inside a centrist cj post
@[email protected] also shifted the goalposts from “sentiment” to “top posts.” I was clarifying what I said before the goalpost shift.

Suspicious as in people who don’t like the democrats must have some hidden agenda? Could you explain that for me?
