Kbin/Mbin (and possibly others?) definitely have the edge here since those platforms make votes public (only admins can see them on Lemmy). So, if you want to confirm what I'm saying here, go view some of these posts from Kbin/Mbin.

Every time one of the "usual suspects" says stuff like this in the comments, there will later be posts detailing how Biden is doing (or at least earnestly trying to do) exactly the things they're saying he needs to be doing (oR ElSe i WiLl noT voTE anD NEithER ShoULD yoU!!!11!!). 100% of the time, those posts are downvoted by these same "usual suspect" accounts.

What gives? They have very strong opinions about how he should run his administration, so you'd think they'd appreciate him doing what they've been so helpfully suggesting. Unless....it was never about the issues at all.

That thin veneer of concern they're hiding behind is not as thick as they think it is and is quite easy to see through. Now you know where to look.

Edit: Please don't name and shame any specific users. That may violate the community or LW rules. We all know who most of the "usual suspects" are.

Agreed, but I"m not looking to name/shame here (that may also violate the community or LW rules).

The point is we all know who at least a good portion of the "usual suspects" are.

Don't block them, it lets them spread their bullshit more easily.

If everyone just blocks them their shit ideas aren't seen

Any statement that begins with "if everyone would just--" is a useless statement. Never in the history of humanity has everyone "just _____".

What's been happening is low information voters wander in here and see him spewing his bullshit unchecked and think there's some truth to it.
