Sorry man but you have been pretty verbally unkind to me in the past over things not even related to geopolitics or life/death matters. I probably fully match your positions on geopolitics but don’t expect me to relent and say those behaviors have no consequences. :(
some of the vocally anti-biden members of lemmy have been really acerbic in the past and that has carried forward poorly to this date so now there is a lot of animosity towards them even as they are speaking truth.
but yeah i’m really sad. biden’s policy on israel’s genocide cost him michigan, and his refusal to step back might just cost democrats the election. it all snowballs.
precisely. you can’t just ignore articles about the “moronic” things voters are saying, because those “morons” happen to each have a vote. pay attention to them or lose.
it’s been how many days and we are still doing the “downvote the news because i don’t like it” thing?
people reacted to a thing and that reaction is going to have ripples, whether you think that’s a rational response or not. ignoring prescient issues is not campaign action; it’s ignoring prescient issues. and making you look just as bad as fox news et al being wholly submissive to trump.
you look quite silly.

“oof i disagree with this poll let me downvote”
Thank you for this. Lot of knee jerk voting going on that’s ignoring huge moves going on out there. Please ya’ll don’t bury these in my feed just because you don’t like it.

Ah fair sorry. I usually see that figure of speech (if you think __ then __) as dismissive of the former term.
My apologies for the misreading.
anecdotally, all LGBTQ voters i know “abandoned” Biden long before they were forced to vote for him
cool but i still think America is pretty dependent on plastic haha
OP did you intentionally change the title? It seems intentionally misleading and inflammatory compared to the one I get when I visit the article page.
How the recycling symbol lost its meaning
Because, of course, capital got America addicted to plastic. A symbol can do no such thing and can only represent such a change.
i agree, jordanlund is opening themselves up for extra scrutiny with this.
spam and displaying signs of getting off on angering users (trolling) is absolutely a valid and nonpartisan reason for a ban. but as soon as the mods start citing actual politics (outside of clear examples of misinfo, which is not in play here) it gets dicey and accusations of bias pile up fast, which is exactly what we are seeing play out right in these comments.
don’t feed the trolls 😜❤️ this is precisely the response they wanted
making a self fulfilling prophecy like “if i get banned it’s because of ‘pro genocide users’” and not taking accountability for your own actions is a very trump circa 2019-20 thing to do
heads up lol
careful haha i’m with you for most of this thread but this comment dives into an argument that weakens your position i think.
i didn’t block that account because of the number of negative biden posts. personally i blocked them because they kept being abusive to people in the comments in a way that they clearly enjoyed, aka trolling. (i don’t think personally i ever even noticed the biden thing, just that they were mean a lot.) i think it’s enough to ban them for abusing the platform in a way that is contra to the average user having a constructive experience (and then admitting to the means of it)—you don’t really need to stoop to counting Biden’s “slips” as that is just opening yourself for more dissent
cheers ☕️☀️
i have my disagreements with this community’s mod team but i do appreciate this step.
i fucking hate biden too, but i blocked that account long ago because they clearly were here to troll and do nothing else. anyone who wants to pick up the perceived “torch” and do what they were doing in good faith this time is more than welcome in my book. i really welcome diversity of posts when the person behind it isn’t clearly getting a kick out of the rage they stir up.
looks at current media cycle
… but is he wrong though? evil seems to be pulling in pretty high ratings these days.
anyway i’l be in my bed, crying quietly.
