I feel at this point the majority of content on this sub is not funny or a meme anymore. While I don't agree with Trump at this point Lemmy is becoming "astroturfed" like reddit
This is, objectively, a political meme. Humor is not requisite.
This happens every election cycle the closer election day comes. Is it really any surprise political advocacy is higher during political season?
And what makes this "astroturfed"?
Every single time I open Lemmy I see at least 5 posts about " voting third party bad" it is not much different from reddit during the 2016/2020 campaign. How it is run now I wouldnt know because I havent browsed reddit since 2023.
Even political Memes are generally lighthearted and people dont fight as much in the comments compared to reddit.
These are just facts though. Until idiots stop voting 3rd party and spoiling elections for fascists, this pattern will continue.
You would be better off convincing the ignorant to stop engaging in the Spoiler Effect.
Then the memes shall stop. Everyone wins.
A better solution would be for the US to implement some kind to voting system where third party voting does matter. Like lots of the world has.
100% agree. The only way to that is electing Dems and sending the GOP the way of the Whigs.
Yep. The thing I worry about is, even if the dems pull of a win that gives them the power to do this, would they actually do it? I doubt it, somehow.
