lol anyone who calls him out for the fact he is part of funding this keeps getting downvoted to oblivion. lemmy is the /r/conservative of the liberal world. Just another echo chamber that lashes out when you question their god.

And, yes....im still voting for him because obviously Trump will be a million times worse, especially in this particular situation.

Lol idk what fediverse you're living in. This one strongly, strongly leans super far left. And not the left that likes Biden.

Ah...so...then....why is everyone getting downvoted for calling him out? It is consistent with what I am saying and my experience since I joined .world...

I think that some people come out and are critical, but then say they aren't going to vote for him, or push something just a bit further. Tone also makes a difference.

There's two options in November, one is worse for Palestine than the other.

Because 9/10 they are re-posts, and more often than not the exact same fucking article.

Like the fucking dick cheese that kept posting poll after poll after poll so much that I blocked his ass.

I am very clearly talking about right here and now in this post. Err....did I miss something? Did A lot of comments get deleted?

The only downvoted comments I'm seeing here are on your posts complaining about downvotes. The top comment is calling out Biden and 3-to-1 upvoted. Vote Blue occasionally shows up early in a random post and sets the tone, but most Gaza posts are very much favoring antiwar/progressive sentiment.

world is standard centrist neolibs all the way down. in fact the admins have already preemptively defederated with leftist instances. their loss!

The census from what I see is that people here don't like Biden. But, like most uncommitted, it's very likely they'll vote Biden for harm reduction. I don't know why you're being down-voted for that though.

At the end of the day, you're correct that Biden has to be voted in again, and the downballot is more crucial.

I have literally been called a sabatour to the democratic party for questioning Biden on this website. For context it was when he finally said something about abortion, not long ago, and I said something to the effect of 'So....he's waiting to make this a reelection issue?' For literally 24 hours I received hate for that. and was flat out told saying that is an attempt to get Trump elected. So....nah. I wouldn't say this place in general doesn't like him. I would say this place worships him the way the right worships Trump.

And everyone getting downvoted in this post for not carving his name into their arm to show reverence for his 'harsh words' kinda proves that yo.

Lemmy is entering the full trollfarm phase now that it's an election year. Neoliberals and "moderates" are wandering around not knowing what words mean but expecting everyone to vote blue no matter who, anarchists are yelling at all the fascists (anyone not a anarchist or demsoc), tankies are going mask off and not even pretending to care about seizing the means, and the Reddit IPO has done the worst thing of all.

Driven some actual "conservatives" into the Fediverse 🤢

You are 110% correct about this, but don't expect the gaslighting to stop

e; eh, on reflection you're more like 65% correct about this. There are definitely way too many users who act just as you describe, but there are some dissenting voices here and the moderation has been ok in my experience (some decisions I disagree with but I haven't experienced any of the super toxic power mod-ish behavior).

the /r/conservative of the liberal world

I think you just mean "an echo chamber", but based on the vote count I think things are less certain than you let on
