The amount of controversy is this thread is a dead giveaway that some fuckery is going down.
Luckily the amount of actual engagement shows its all just manufactured and there is no real consensus. Anyone forming an opinion based on discourse in this thread needs to step back and interface with real, actual, protesters.
Yep, pushing the bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe WhY bOtHeR vOtiNg narrative is cheap and easy "divide and conquer" propaganda.
In recent history, one side has been shown to benefit over and over again from lack of overall voter engagement - the fascists... I mean republicans, sorry, Freudian slip there.
You can go into any other left leaning thread on lemmy and it's crickets. Not even a stray trumpet to say mum.
You go into a Isreal/Palestine thread and it's a regular dumpster fire.
I'm not saying left leaning people are always on the same side of every issue but in general they are mild mannered and mindful of others. These threads are knock down drag out fights where 100 times some one is accused of supporting genocide when the actual number of people participating in the thread who support genocide is 0. 1-2 maybe if you consider the bad faith actors.
So what youre saying is...
...is that u are a supporter of genocide?!
