No, people shouldn't downvote the messenger. When I see articles like this, it gives me more motivation that I need to fight for him. And I really need that motivation, because I'm not a fan of his
Exactly, I really think the best reason to upvote is because the discussion is relevant to the community and interesting and the best reason to downvote is if it's not. And I think most people need that motivation.
Things have already improved on this post, to be fair to everyone, but it's still sitting at zero.
The other commenter Mozz also has a good point about the same accounts posting bad news for Biden over and over again
Yeah, I agree with this. There was a meme that one of the handful of accounts posted to politicalmemes where we had a big argument about Biden's marijuana legalization, and it was removed as misinformation (which, it absolutely clearly was; the OP couldn't in any way justify in the comments what the meme said had happened, and just went silent). I feel like maybe removing it is not a good thing though... like let us talk about it, and if the general consensus is that certain arguments are bullshit, people will figure that out, and it's actually a good thing if they can repeatedly read those bad arguments but then see alongside them why they're bullshit, or make up their own mind what they believe out of what they're seeing.
I can only speak for myself but I've learned a lot about what Biden's accomplished by arguing with the propagandists. They say he failed on something, I go and look it up and learn that it's either not true or not the whole story, and after doing that a few different times I started to realize holy shit he actually did a whole lot of stuff.
