You don’t see any irony in re-using Nixon’s “silent majority” like trump did in 2016?
For that to be true, you have to disregard all polling, which is sadly something I’ve seen people doing.
Because you don’t just have to explain his lack of support on social media and real life, you have to explain away his lack.of support in anonymous polling and why “he’s not trump” is consistently the most popular reason for voting Biden.
He just doesn’t have support, people just want to stop trump.
If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, what sound does anyone hear?
I mean, if you want to “enjoy” pointless quarreling, go for it. The new recruits who still have a tiny bit of curiosity still left may benefit. But for me it’s like arguing with a blender going full throttle. Fuck that.
The problem is that it kneecaps the experience for people who newly join, because they get faced with an unopposed blender of fascist propaganda, and may be immediately turned off the whole platform.
People are scared of saying good things about Biden because it makes them a target for tankies and republicans.

The Biden aquarians live in a constant state of denialism about Biden, and it is what cost us this election.
I see you’re new - welcome to Lemmy! If you see any tankies or republiQans you don’t want to see, block them. It’s pretty easy.
All that does is make them more powerful because there are fewer voices pushing back against them.

Would they not see all the posts though? Intelligent conversational threads interposed with little eddies of tankie spew?
