Hold on folks, it's only going to get worse the closer we get!
Probably because the original Lemmy users and Developers are all eastern propagandists for Russia and China, there is a funded campaign complete with troll farms pushing anti-DNC sentiment because the east actually favors Trump over a competent POTUS.
Now that Piefed is around we should really normalize defederating ML.
I see more of the opposite on Lemmy lately, which is pandering, slobbering endorsements for establishment Dems like Schumer from 28-day-old accounts.
We can vote dems, it's fine to vote dems. Entirely new candidates running on Dem platforms like we did with Mamdani and others recently. The DNC is just a container, we pour out the old, rotten contents and replace them with new people who actually want to work for us.
Interesting! I have literally never once seen Schumer defended by anyone on Lemmy, but my eyes aren't yours, and that is fishy asf with new accounts.
100% agree the DNC is an umbrella that we need to fill with good candidates that aren't bought out and beholden ti special interests.
They're not openly saying Schumer is the GOAT or anything, astroturfers and bots know better than to mask-off immediately, but there's a LOT of pushback happening right now when people complain about Democrats broadly, and will work HARD to support voting dems and whinge and cry against criticism of establishment dems, but will avoid or pivot talking about criticisms of the old-guard establishment. It's obvious for anyone over the age of like, 11.
They get really mad when you suggest they're collaborating with the GOP.
But if you check account history most of them are less than a month old. I've seen this every election year, they really are working together.
(For the record, I support voting dems, but all NEW dems, flush the incumbent toilet on the DNC's contents and lets refill it with fresh water.)
There's that tired whataboutism we know and loathe 🙄
Criticizing the Dems ≠ saying that the fascists aren't worse than them. Just like decrying the Israeli genocide of Palestinians ≠ saying that it's worse than the Holocaust was.
And nope, I criticize the Dems (and the fascists and every other politician I'm aware of deserving criticism) EVERY year. It's not my fault that YOU only pay attention during election years.
Every other year is an election year, ironically I haven't seen anything out of you in 2025 and now that it is an election year, here you are.
I'm not saying you weren't but its funny that I remember you posting alot in 2024 and your post actually made me think about it.
Because you haven't been CHECKING in 2025. I've been criticizing them for their cowardly compliance with the fascist regimes of the US and Israel more times in 2025 than I've posted pictures of my two cats The Fabulous Staredycat Sisters and that's SAYING something 😁
Lol I believe it! its just the first time I noticed was all. I think there just more active users than when I joined Lemmy so your posts were a much larger chunk of visible posts back then.😆
Based eternal criticism! I'lll take your word for it, as I don't track individual posting habits. I just notice a general uptick in "dems bad", "don't vote", and similar when we get closer to an election.
Probably propaganda accounts. Notice how it's being targeted, no blame on the GOP or trump,.or very softball approach. It's a common right trolling
That's my point. Claiming without any proof that any criticism is based on it being election season and therefore might be false flag bottery is a classic deflection tactic not unlike many that the fascists use when people on their side criticize the Mango Mussolini.
Hahaha buddy, pump the breaks, you may want to live up to the username and enjoy some nature. Pointing out meme trends without cyberstalking every poster on the Fediverse first isn't cryptofash tactics.
