Anyone to the left of the DNC leadership: constructively criticizes Joe Biden

Biden stans: You love Trump, don't you?

On the other side of this, what I find really common is anyone who acknowledges the reality of how the US voting structure works is seen as a Biden Stan
- "Hey maybe we should just elect the most popular candidate instead of potentially not electing the most popular candidate"
  
  "HAHA LOOK AT THE LIBTARD"
- Nothing wrong about acknowledging the reality of the system being a broken dichotomy, of course.
  
  I'm talking about the people who shut down all valid criticism with the "but Trump is worse" whataboutism or "stop giving Trump ammunition" as if anyone sane didn't already know Trump is awful and as if the Mango Mussolini wouldn't just make shit up regardless..
- If you think voting the DNC will fix anything YOU don't understand how the US voting structure works
- That's because it's a common argument of Biden stans. It's pretty telling that they can't think of anything good to say about their candidate, so instead it's this stuff.
- Not to detail this but that is a new one for me. What is a Stan?
- Yeah, but people also have blinders as to how the actual voting structure works. If you're in CA/NY for dems or AL/MS for repubs, your vote basically doesn't matter since those places will go blue/red no matter what, so you're 100% free to vote for the person/platform you actually like! Any insinuation that you might vote for someone other than Biden is met with immediate scorn and ridicule.

Sorry, but no. Lemmy is an echo chamber. If one server likes pancakes and another server likes waffles, they'll just defederate.

No this place is just full of bipolar virtue signaling fucks. A few weeks back a made a joke on a story about how a states new no permit open carry law. Said nothing about any group of people.

Some dude responded something to the effect of "why do you want women, gay people and black people to die?" This went on for quite a while. Him insisting that was my motivation, doubling down over and over.

And he was upvoted for this. Because...this is just how Lemmy operates.
- Will happen in any social media. If you're neurodivergent, chances are it will happen to you offline as well. People are just really dumb.
- uhm please do not use mental illness as an insult 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎sincerely not cool

Modern debate literally anywhere:

'So you think [some made-up bullshit]?' 'Fuck off.' And then a mod comes in and goes 'How dare you be rude to that smug liar.'

When the correct moderator action is often 'Yeah, fuck off.'

I like trains

OH SO YOU HATE AIRPLANES????
- actually yes i love trains and hate airplanes at almost every facet of the comparison, thank you for noticing
Public transport woo hoo!
- OH SO YOU THINK PEOPLE SHOULDN'T HAVE PRIVATE TRANSPORTATION? You want to keep people imprisoned in their 15 minute cities? ^heavy ^/s

Me: maybe consider your ability to love a child as part of your “can I afford a child” criteria.

Reddit: so it doesn’t matter if we can’t even afford to feed ourselves because “all you need is love”?

Me: b1tch that’s a whole other sentence

i bet you are a beatles stan 😐😐 problematic

On the nose.

so you’re saying my other posts weren’t on the nose? 😧 geez ok ill try to do better

So you are saying you do like all waffles? Even blue ones??

I said someone's meme wasn't funny and was accused of hating the middle east

wow can’t believe you hate people of color and have no sense of humor, what a combo 🫤

Is it the only place if this same thing is posted on every social media platform in existence with the name of that platform edited in?

nah they fixed it on twitter tumblr and reddit in the latest patches it’s just lemmy now

They do it on purpose.

What's wrong with having some purpose in your life? Jeezez some people are so judgemental. smh ffs asdf
- You hate waffles and kittens? Wtflolcopter

Two days ago, I wouldn't have felt particularly strongly about this sentiment, but my last few comments yesterday had some interesting interpretations...
